The Success of Your Company is Reliant on the Health of Your Employees

Nationwide, the medical costs associated with obesity are staggering.

• In 2003, 5.7% of all adult medical expenses, or $75 billion, were attributable to obesity.

In Kentucky, the numbers are even worse!

• In 2003, 6.2% of all adult medical expenses, or $1.1 billion, were attributable to obesity.

The wealth of a company is determined by its product, its mission, and its ability to respond to change and adapt. The health of a company is determined by the health of its employees, which ultimately ensures the continued success of the company. Increasing your employees' health and well being can directly benefit your work atmosphere, your productivity, and most importantly your profitability!

Overweight and obesity have become public health epidemics in the United States. It is estimated that over 66% of U.S. adults are overweight and 32% are obese. Obese individuals have increased morbidity and use of health services. Less is known about the effect of obesity on workers' compensation. A study published in 2007, which included nearly 12,000 health care and University employees demonstrated a clear relationship between BMI and the rate of compensation claims, associated costs, and lost workdays!

In fact, clients whose BMI classification put them in the morbidly obese category (BMI > 40) showed staggering results:

The authors of this publication concluded that “ Maintaining healthy weight not only is important to workers but should also be a high priority for their employers given the strong effect of BMI on workers' injuries. Complementing general interventions to make all workplaces safer, work-based programs targeting healthy eating and physical activity should be developed and evaluated.”

Another publication in the September-October issue of issue of the American Journal of Health Promotion reported:

• Overweight and obesity - attributable costs were as high as $2,485 per year for grade-II obese female employees.
• The costs of obesity (not overweight) at a large firm with 1000 employees are estimated to be dollar $285,000 per year
• 30% of these astronomical costs are from increases in medical expenses and absenteeism
• Increased medical costs are associated with the level of obesity of the employees - although grade III obesity only represents 3% of the employed population, it accounts for nearly ¼ of these costs due to obesity.
• Approximately 30% of the total costs result from increased absenteeism, and although those with grade-III obesity represent only 3% of the employed population, they account for 21% of the costs due to obesity.
