Employee wellness with results
Research shows a strong workplace wellness program can lower health risks like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease and obesity.
With a YMCA Corporate Membership Partnership, you can give your team a complete wellness program, health education and real savings on memberships. Healthier employees feel better, miss fewer days and get more done.
On average, for every $1 spent on health management and education, companies could save $3 to $6 on health care costs.
