Americans (and their employers) spend 95 percent of their health care dollars on diagnosing and treating preventable diseases. Studies have shown that people with health risks such as obesity, smoking, and high blood pressure are less productive, have a higher absenteeism rate, and have higher medical and health costs that affect both you as employer, and your bottom line.

Wellness programs are fast becoming popular with companies all over California, as well as the rest of the country, because the benefits far outweigh the costs. Healthy employees are more productive, less likely to get hurt, and more able to recover quickly if they do get hurt. Companies see lower health costs, reduced injury and absenteeism rates, and significantly lower workers' compensation claims and costs—all from helping employees become more health-conscious. If you haven't yet started a wellness program at your workplace, what are you waiting for?

Join us October 2 for a 90-minute audio conference. Our speaker—an occupational medicine physician and certified human resources professional—will walk you through the steps involved in setting up, and keeping up, effective workplace wellness initiatives.

YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES WILL LEARN:

• The top three health issues in the U.S. and how they affect your business
• Where to start if your workplace does not currently offer any wellness initiatives
• How to make an existing wellness program even more effective
• How to gain support from both management and employees
• The top three killers of wellness programs that will guarantee defeat—and how to avoid them
• How spending $1 in wellness can save up to $4 in health costs and insurance premiums
• Steps to motivate employees to participate in your wellness program rather than just give it lip service

How Do Audio Conferences Work?

An audio conference is remarkably cost-effective and convenient. You participate from your office using a regular telephone. You have no travel costs and no out-of-office time.

Plus, for one low price you can get as many people in your office to participate as you can fit around a speakerphone.

Because the conference is live, you can ask the speakers questions'either on the phone or via e-mail.

With your registration, you also receive conference materials with additional practical information from California Employer Advisor sent to you via e-mail shortly before the conference.
