WHAT IT  MEANS FOR YOUR COMPANY!

The strong correlation between physical health and financial health. Obese employees are expensive employees. Their health insurance premiums usually cost more than those of their "normal weight" co-workers. They are more subsceptible to  illnesses and injuries. They have a higher level of absenteeism, and when they are at work, they may be less productive than your fit, healthy workers. They may also have overweight kids who strain the "family policy" portion of your health benefits-kids whose own sick days lead to more employee absenteeism. Research has show that obese individuals add about $1,750 to a company's healthcare expenses each year.  Morbidly obese individuals usualy add twice that amount! This is a highly sensitive topic, however it's one no company can afford to ignore. If you have obese employees, you've probably already considered their impact on your profitability. You just don't know what to do about it.
