Do Wellness Programs Boost Productivity?

Screen-Shot-2014-07-28-at-11.22.29-AM-e1406560988415“Like many a Fitbit owner, I spend excessive amounts of time tracking my steps on the Fitbit dashboard. One day, I wandered over to the corporate wellness section of the website, and saw an interesting statistic: Companies with worksite wellness programs experience an 8% increase in employee productivity,” Laura Vanderkam writes for Fast Company.

“It sounds impressive, but this stat (attributed to a 2005 National Business Group on Health report), raised questions. Any wellness program? Any company? Productivity is tricky.”

“Many salaried workers don’t know how many hours they work; many people don’t directly generate revenue. Years ago, while writing a piece on telecommuting, I kept hearing secondhand that at X company, telecommuters are 25% (or 30% or 40%) more productive than other employees. Then I’d call X company, and they’d deny it. As one spokeswoman told me, if they knew some employees were 25% more productive than others, don’t you think they’d act on that?”

“So I wondered: Is the usual assertion–that wellness programs boost productivity–true or not?”

Finish Line’s team is simply fantastic. Their presentation was informative, humorous and delightful. The shakes they provided were absolutely delicious. We have had many other speakers in our office, but Finish Line was something special. Our employees were engaged like I have never seen them before!

We invited Kay Grobel and Trillium Chiropractic to do a “lunch and learn” at a recent business meeting. Many members of our group commented on how interesting and informative the presenter was. A lot of people stayed after the Q & A session to ask more questions and set up personal meetings with the Trillium staff. All that information and free lunch, too!
I just want to say a big THANK YOU for your help last night. You did a great job and you made my job easier. I appreciate you. I had 3-4 people comment how cheerful you were and how competent you were. Actually, I think you’re ‘doctor material’. Have you ever thought of going back to school? Anyway…..thanks again. I loved having you there last night. Success, Health, and Happiness,
In the fall of 2012, Dr. James came to my company for a lecture about food, wellness and toxicity. AsianCircle, an employee resource group, brought him in to educate us in the fall 2012. They were so impressed with the talk and feedback from the employees that they invited him back for a follow-up lecture in May of 2013 during the annual Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM). During the month of May, AsianCircle invites different doctors & professionals to talk about different topics on …
We are always interested in offering activities and programs that improve wellness and overall wellbeing for our employees, so when Kay contact me about the what Finishline Wellness has to offer we were very interested! We had a very positive response to the chair massages and nutrition lunch and learn. I think that everyone involved benefited from it! Thanks!
I found the session to be rather informative in regards to items found in foods and what to try to avoid. And which types of foods are better for our bodies. I am really looking forward to making some of the foods from the recipes that were given us – 10 items needed.
I have spent 3 years on the US Ski Team, I am a Junior National Champion and a 3x World Juniors Member. I have essentially put my body through a blender. From all the crashes and hospital visits I never knew if my back and body would ever look, function, or feel normal again. That is until I was referred to DR. James Midboe at Finish Line Chiropractic. I now move better, feel better and am able to live a happier, healthier, pain free life. Make the time to go see Finish Line Chiropractic and tak…
