Invest in the Health of Your Bottom Line
Sending your key executives or entire company for a few days or longer to the Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa for an executive or corporate retreat is one of the best investments you will ever make. It will change your company – and your employees' lives – forever.
Never Before Have Pritikin Corporate Retreats Been More Essential
American industries lose $32 billion and 132 million workdays every year because of employees’ illnesses and premature deaths related to heart disease (high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, obesity), The New York Times recently reported.
The annual medical costs for overweight/obese employees are five times that of normal-weight employees.(1) Billions more are lost due to poor productivity, or presenteeism (workers being on the job but, because of medical conditions, not fully functioning).
Consistently, studies have found that companies who institute health and fitness programs like the Pritikin Program achieve dramatic returns:
- In a review of 19 studies, scientists concluded that each dollar invested in health promotion programs nets a return of $3 to $6 over a two- to five-year period.(2) “No other disease has a greater impact on the health of the workforce and its bottom line than cardiovascular disease,” wrote the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention authors.
- After just one year of adopting health/fitness habits, employees cut their average number of sick days in half.(3)
- Reducing just one health risk, such as high cholesterol, from involvement in corporate wellness programs boosts productivity by 9%.(4)
Wrote health economist Marc L. Berger of the University of Pennsylvania in a review outlining the benefits of corporate health programs: “Employers who increase their investments in healthy human capital now will emerge tomorrow as the companies leading the gains in U.S. productivity.”(5)
