Healthy Employees = Healthy Companies

According to health Canada:  In 1990, almost one in five workers missed over one week of work as a result of sickness, injury, or disability.  One-third of these employees, or 6% of all workers, missed in excess of five weeks away from work. In addition to the reduced quality of life experienced by these employees, absenteeism impacts the productivity of Canadian business and, by extension, Canada’s Gross Domestic Product. Indeed, employers view higher productivity and lower absenteeism as two of the key benefits of health promotion programs at work.
