Schurz ChoicePrincipal Wellness Plan

What is Wellness? Worksite wellness programs are proactive, organized

programs that provide lifestyle and medical assistance that assist employees and their family members to promote and maintain good health

Wellness doesn’t just involve your physical health, it involves emotional, spiritual, occupational, social, and intellectual dimensions too

Wellness Makes $ense Most employees (83%) are in the low and medium

cost categories of healthcare spending Each risk factor avoided (such as high cholesterol or

high blood pressure) can save a company an average of $304 per risk factor per year

By keeping these employees out of the high-cost category, employees lead better lives and employers can potentially save thousands of dollars

To better compare the cost savings, look at a low-risk employee vs. a high risk employee. The difference between low- and high-risk categories is $2,882 per year, per employee

No. of Risk Factors Average Total Cost Per Year

0-2 $1,397

5 or more $4,279

Benefits of the Wellness Program

Better health for you and your family
