What is workplace wellness?
Dr. Hedrix offers on-site wellness care to employers that strive to create a healthy company culture by establishing and controlling employee expectations for healthy behavior and lifestyle choices. Workplace wellness consists of health education and interventions designed to change employees' behavior in order to achieve better health and reduce the associated health risks.
Workplace wellness benefits employees because...
Paid time off for vacation rather than recovery.
Safer workplace.
Reduced health expenses.

Workplace wellness is a competitive advantage because it results in…

Lower absenteeism.
Chiropractors can diagnose, treat or send an injured employee directly to the right form of care, rather than routing him/her through a series of providers.
Attraction and retention of key employees.
Improved corporate image.
Increased workforce productivity.
For every case of carpal tunnel syndrome, 25 workdays are lost.

Prevention is the central theme of cutting medical costs.
What is the bottom-line impact?
Employers pay lower rates over time if their employees use fewer health services.
Employers can save $6.65 in healthcare expenses for every dollar spent on a comprehensive employee wellness program (Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, April 2008).
1.8 million work-related musculoskeletal disorders are logged every year resulting in $15-20 billion in workers' compensation costs alone (Occupational Safety and Health Administration, 2003).
Worksite wellness programs have resulted in
28% reduction in sick leave absenteeism
26% reduction in the use of health care benefits, and
30% reduced workers’ compensation claims and disability management ("Meta-evaluation of Worksite Health Promotion Economic Return Studies", The American Journal of Health Promotion, 2003).
