Thank you to Gloria Guy our guest blogger this month.
As an employer your healthcare costs are escalating and will
continue to do so. Your choices, your budget and your time are limited; and as
a consumer, you have concerns about quality, safety, compliance and efficiency.
To address increasing costs and the drivers that fuel them, you must create and
implement effective health and productivity programs. By doing so, you can
improve your employee’s health and lower employee related expenses such as
workers’ compensation, disability, absenteeism, and healthcare costs. Being
proactive and empowering employees to be responsible for their own healthcare
is one of the most essential strategies to controlling your bottom-line.
It works!
