Absolutely.  Companies offering health center membership to its employees are considered not only employee-friendly companies, but also are employers of choice.

 

It is without question that a healthy workforce means productive employees, countering absenteeism and low productive because of frequent doctor visits.  Having sickly employees could even hurt your bottom-line health care costs because they get hospitalized or outpatient consultations too often.

 

Gym membership is really a plus when offering job offers to prospective employees.

Offering a health center membership for employees can be a beneficial risk management technique and cost reduction method for companies. By providing employees with access to on-site health and wellness facilities, companies can promote a healthy lifestyle and reduce the risk of workplace injuries and illnesses.

Additionally, having an on-site health center can help reduce healthcare costs for both the company and employees. This is because the company can negotiate lower rates for services and treatments, and employees can save money on co-pays and deductibles. By promoting preventative care, the health center can also help identify health issues early on, which can lead to less expensive and more effective treatment.

Furthermore, providing employees with access to on-site health and wellness facilities can lead to increased job satisfaction and employee retention. Employees are more likely to stay with a company that values their health and well-being and provides them with convenient access to healthcare services.

Overall, offering a health center membership for employees can be a cost-effective way to manage risks and promote a healthy workplace. However, companies should carefully evaluate the costs and benefits before implementing such a program to ensure that it aligns with their overall business goals and objectives.
