5 Begin Your Journey to Health, Wellness, and Savings The journey to health isn t easy but the rewards can be significant. Powered by data and wellness management, SOCA may help you begin realizing the benefits of a healthy workplace. The Challenge: Unhealthy and Disengaged Employees Unhealthy choices and behaviors may cost employers millions of dollars each year. These include smoking, poor diet, lack of exercise, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and stress. Preventable conditions that impact the bottom line may be managed by a workplace wellness plan that strives to improve health and saves you money. You need resources and support to drive and measure active culture change for wellness. The Reward: Creating a Culture of Health Better health may reduce short-term sick leave by up to 32 percent, and increase productivity by up to 52 percent. 1 Healthier employees are usually more productive, miss fewer days of work, and are less likely to develop chronic conditions that lead to higher costs in the future. Employees enlisted to take charge of their own wellness usually stay healthier, and may also help increase workplace productivity, reduce absenteeism and contribute to an engaged culture. The Solution: SOCA SOCA combines strategic planning, measurement, and wellness programs to help deliver results. Through a groundbreaking portfolio of wellness and clinical management programs, health and wellness specialists, and activation support, you may impact the health of your employees, the culture of your workplace and the strength of your bottom line.
