"Two-thirds of
your traveling
employees are
overweight
or obese."
|
Chances
are, nearly two-thirds of your traveling employees are overweight or obese.1
Many of those travelers risk heart attacks, strokes, a variety of cancers,
diabetes, and back pain.
 Moreover, your company risks increased medical costs, increased insurance
premiums, increased turnover, and lost productivity due to the extra weight
your travelers are packing.
Indeed, health
economists estimate that annual obesity-attributable medical
expenditures are $75 billion in the U.S. alone. About half of these expenditures
are financed by Medicare and Medicaid.2
Guess who foots the bill
for the other half?
 For
sure, a healthy travel force is better equipped to deal with the rigors of
conducting business on the road and is more cost efficient for your company.
By helping your traveling employees take control of their nutritional
requirements and
activity schedules, they will feel better about themselves, be more efficient
in conducting business, and reduce their costs to your company.
