Many businesses have implemented or are interested in developing health promotion programs for employees. The benefits of workplace wellness include:

• Improving employee health
• Reducing preventable health care utilization and lowering health care costs
• Enhancing work performance/ productivity
• Decreased absenteeism
• Improving employee satisfaction and retention
• Reduce Injury and Workman’s compensation claims

The White House’s proposed 2011 budget was released, which includes plans to reduce childhood obesity rates by budgeting $1 billion to improve children’s access to healthy meals, and include $10 million in a federal employee workplace initiative to implement prototype wellness programs.

The plan includes increased federal funding for workplace wellness programs, programs for schools that address childhood obesity, education for healthcare employees, and “individual and community initiatives to help Americans make healthful choices.”

Employee wellness programs are an excellent way to help defray the rising cost of health care. In addition to cost-savings, employers who provide wellness programs report improvements to worker productivity and retention, as well as improving the working environment.

Whole Body Vibration (WBV) allows the equivalent of 60 minutes of conventional exercise to be achieved in just 10 minutes.  It is so effective; three 10‐minute sessions a week are enough to make a considerable difference.  Whole Body Vibration is perfect for loosening up your entire body and relieving stress. Standing on a WBV platform even for just a few minutes will supercharge all the cells in your body and give you energy to continue working. 

This is why many corporations are including WBV equipment in corporate fitness centers.  Because WBV is safe, fast and highly effective, it’s become a great solution for boosting employee health.
