Does health coaching for employees work? Yes! WebMD published the results of a study showing the benefits of providing health coaching for your employees. Those results include:

• Significant reduction in stress

• Large increase in exercise habits

• 60% of participants lose weight and 1/3 experience clinically meaningful weight loss.

• Improved mental and emotional health

• Improved eating habits (increased fruit and vegetable intake, reduced junk food)

• 33% reduction in known health risks.

• Hospital stay decreased by 21% and emergency room visits declined by 16% after just one session with health coaches.

• A study from the University of Oregon showed that employees who were actively engaged with health coaching incurred 21% lower health related costs to their company than their coworkers did.

• When an organization offers health coaches, it signals that well-being is a corporate priority ie: “we care about you”. This has far reaching positive effects on the current culture and improves the retention of current employees and can be a significant factor in attracting new employees to the organization. “In the current talent shortage this is huge.”

• A University of California study reported that companies who provide health coaching see “a significant increase in worker productivity.”

• Reduced Health Care costs to company. “Wellness programs produce a return on investment of $3 per $1 spent over a 2-9 year period. Investing in your employees literally pays dividends.”

• Significant reduction in employee absenteeism.
