"In 26 years of taking CPR classes, this is the first course I’ve taken where I’ve walked away feeling confident that I could actually perform CPR."

We Implement Wellness

Good nutrition is not the only key to wellness. Moderate physical activity – a goal within the reach of nearly every employee – reduces health risks for people in all age groups, and with all types of health issues. AHS recognizes this crucial factor in wellness success, and has structured its wellness programs around healthy eating and increased mobility programs, as well as support for employers and their employees:
  • Employee-focused wellness options – in the workplace – to increase mobility and encourage healthy eating
  • Fitness assessments, including non-invasive screening checks for metabolic rates, waist/hip ratios, blood pressure, and body fat
  • 100 percent employee participation encouraged via online support, onsite coaching, and nutrition and wellness advice
When employees are healthier, everyone reaps the benefits. Few people have no desire to be healthy and fit – however, most people need extra assistance to learn how to eat nutritiously and make time for physical activity. Annuvia provides the ongoing guidance and support that makes wellness the easy lifestyle option: WE IMPLEMENT WELLNESS.

When employees are in good physical shape, their well-being naturally improves – as does their on-the-job performance. By making wellness a priority, managers gain a more productive workforce. Plus, everyone benefits form lower healthcare costs, since group insurance rates decrease.

The bottom line: Physically active employees with access to healthy eating options are more insurable – and more productive! Thirteen studies have reported average cost/benefit ratios of $3.40 in reduced healthcare costs per dollar spent, and $5.80 in lower absenteeism costs per dollar invested.
