The Corporate Wellness Partnership Program at the Hurley Health and Fitness Center (HHFC): a great way to get and stay healthy

In an era of rising health care costs—for businesses and their employees—Hurley's Corporate Wellness Partnership Program enables individuals to prevent, delay, diagnose and treat preventable diseases. 

• For employers, this means:
  • Reduced employee sick leave
  • Reduced worker’s compensation claims and disability-management costs
  • Improved productivity
  • A three- to six-fold return over a two to five-year period on every dollar invested in the program
     
• For employees, this means:
  • Access to interventions and tools to help prevent disease and improve health
  • Better awareness of healthy lifestyle choices and health risks
  • Better morale and self-esteem, and a sense of personal and professional empowerment
  • An improved ability to balance the demands of work and family responsibilities

How the Corporate Wellness Partnership Program works:

The Corporate Wellness Partnership Program complements an employer’s existing health plans and is designed to be fully customizable to meet each business’ unique needs and circumstances. A member of our corporate health team will meet with key managers from your company to learn more about your business, your employees, the workplace environment, and specific challenges faced by workers. We will work with your company representatives to identify high-risk areas, to gain a better understanding of the company’s wellness objectives, and to develop a financial plan for the program.

Based on all of the information we have gathered, we will then present the employer with a spectrum of options that can help achieve various health and wellness goals while remaining within the established budget. Once the options have been chosen and brought together into a customized program, our Wellness Liaison will work with key company representatives to develop and implement a communication and education plan that achieves participation from every level of the organization, increases employee knowledge, and helps create an overall culture of wellness at your company.
