“A company is an organic entity in many ways made up of various parts which need to work in harmony to be successful. If the entity isn't ‘well,’ it cannot prosper to its maximum. The energy of keeping a company growing and successful must be a two way street where the company gives back to those who contribute to its success.” – David Gellman

Why Workplace Health & Wellness?

When your employees are healthy, so is your bottom line.  When your employees are happy, their performance is top notch.  The Corporate Wellness Specialists at Champagne Fitness will help you create a culture of healthy, happy employees by working with you to develop a Wellness Program that will increase company productivity, improve the vibrancy and morale of your staff, reduce absenteeism, and add to the health and longevity of each participant. 

For well over a decade, research has been showing the effectiveness of Corporate Wellness Programs.  For every dollar spent on a Corporate Wellness Program, the returns have been cost savings of between $2.30 and $10.10 in the areas of decreased absenteeism, fewer sick days, reduced WSIB/WCB claims, lowered health and insurance costs, and improvements to employee performance and productivity.

In Canada, only 23.9% of companies reported that they have been evaluating their wellness programs regularly, which makes management unclear on the full scope of benefits being realized.

Statistics do show that a healthy organization increases employee morale, improves the ability to attract and retain key people, all while having more alert and productive employees. Some statistics of note:

1. •Canada Life Insurance reported a return of $3.43 on their fitness program, and an overall return on investment of $6.85 on each corporate dollar invested on reduced turnover (32.4% lower), productivity gains and decreased medical claims,
