The bottom line on employee health The greatest assets of any company are the people who work there. Maintaining a healthy, productive workforce is critical to success in today s competitive environment. The challenges facing employers are many. Each year millions of Americans sustain work-related illnesses and injuries, resulting in significant loss both to themselves and the companies who employ them. Recent studies suggest that work-related injury and illness cost American companies more than one billion dollars per year. Helping workers recover and return to work while maintaining the safest possible working environment are critical concerns. And occupational health is about more than illness and injury care. At Strong Health, we partner with you to maintain a safe workplace that meets regulations and protects your employees. We also enable you to provide value added benefits such as on-site health programs and health screenings to help recruit and retain talented employees.
