Why Corporate Wellness 

Employee productivity and performance are two major components of a successful corporation. Data has demonstrated that high levels of stress, poor diet, excess body weight and a lack of self care contributes to illness related absenteeism, decreased productivity and overall dissatisfaction in the work place.

Health and wellness related programs such as those provided by Your Life Success have been associated with lower employer related costs due to improved health, fitness, nutrition and lifestyle choices adapted by employees.

Some interesting facts:

• The 2011–13 Australian Health Survey results to date have highlighted the growing problem of obesity in Australia. It is estimated that 62.8% of Australian adults are now overweight or obese, with this figure increasing over the past two decades (up from 56.3% in 1995). Obesity increases the risk of many chronic and potentially lethal diseases. Most of these diseases can be prevented with lifestyle changes, including healthy eating and regular physical activity.
•  Health problems related to excess weight impose substantial economic burdens on individuals, families and communities. Data from the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle (AusDiab) study indicate that the total direct cost for overweight and obesity in 2005 was $21 billion ($6.5 billion for overweight and $14.5 billion for obesity). The same study estimated indirect costs of $35.6 billion per year, resulting in an overall total annual cost of $56.6 billion
• According to a 2009 study, it has been suggested that chronic disease can be reduced by as much as 80% if an individual adheres to healthy lifestyle practices including maintaining a healthy weight, eating well, getting regular exercise, not smoking.
