Media Genesis Partners with Wellco to Promote Healthy Living at the Office
Media Genesis, a web development company in Troy, Michigan, has partnered with Wellco, a health seminar and testing company, to promote healthier corporate culture and a healthy workforce altogether.
Troy, MI, November 26, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Ordinarily, November is the month to develop bad habits—whether by the typical excess of Thanksgiving or the annual slowdown of exercise that comes with colder weather.
Not so at Media Genesis – a Troy Web development company.
Media Genesis, has partnered with its client Wellco Corp., a leading provider of corporate wellness systems for organization, to bring an on-site wellness program to Media Genesis employees this November.
“The fact is, good employee health is good business,” said Antoine Dubeauclard, president of Media Genesis. “Health education fits our culture as a responsible learning organization, but it also keeps our employees productive.”
According to a recent report in ComPsych, employees who are physically active are over 2.5 times more productive and 69 percent less likely to report high levels of stress than those that are not physically active.
The most recent estimate for workplace health statistics from Warren Gorham and Lamont’s HR Series Policies and Practices puts the cost of workplace absenteeism due to illness between $26 and $46 billion each year. With numbers like that, the benefit of improving worker health can’t be understated.
The wellness program features HealthHammer testing, which uses blood pressure and cholesterol information in conjunction with health survey information to identify if the subject is a risk candidate for heart attack or stroke. HealthHammer measures and tracks the top 15 health risks.
It is the first system of its kind to integrate medical measurements, health risk appraisal, and avoidable costs in one powerful tool that offers instant, onsite results without any delay for lab processing or reports to be mailed.
The testing will be conducted by Wellco’s Corporate Wellness Expert, Scott Foster provides an overall health score and could potentially prevent dozens of instances of serious illness, including heart disease.
HealthHammer testing is a complimentary benefit provided to Media Genesis employees as a way to improve employee life as well as provide health education. The testing is being used in coordination with smaller efforts, such as health awareness signs, offering flu shots, promotion of healthy food through potlucks, and even a meditation session.
“Media Genesis cares about our employees—that’s why we’re providing the testing at no cost,” Dubeauclard said. “Even though we’re all responsible for our own health, sometimes it helps to have a little extra push.”
