Encouraging Healthy Habits

Author: K.Meadows  June 2, 2010

The USA Today reported on how some companies are providing financial incentives to encourage healthier habits among employees.

“‘There’s been an explosion of interest in this,’ said Dr. Kevin Volpp, director of the University of Pennsylvania‘s Center for Health Incentives.

Take OhioHealth, a hospital chain whose workforce is mostly overweight. The company last year embarked on a program that paid employees to wear pedometers and get paid for walking. The more they walk, the more they win — up to $500 a year.”

The Skinny On Wellness Programs

Author: K.Meadows  May 18, 2010


The Atlanta Business Chronicle notes that as the costs of providing employees with healthcare skyrocket, more and more companies are “jumping on the wellness bandwagon, providing a myriad of health programs and offerings to their employees.”

 

While the ROI on wellness programs can be difficult to measure, this investment seems to improve companies’ long-term bottom line.  In a recent article, Harvard economics professor David Cutler estimated that medical costs could fall by about $3.27 for every dollar spent on employee wellness programs and that absenteeism costs fall by about $2.73 for every dollar spent. [1]

 

At no cost to you, WETKEYS.com offers a way for your company to broaden its wellness offerings and ultimately benefit its bottom line.  Throughout the course of their workday, your employees touch their keyboards more than any other surface.  Particularly in shared workspaces, multiple users touching keyboards and mice can mean cross-contamination, more sick days, and increased healthcare costs.

 

We have many products to fit your needs. The 108T is a great example of a keyboard for your workspace. It has a built-in touchpad and is flexible so it is easily portable.
