"For small business
owners who often measure profits in thousands -- not millions -- of
dollars, the net effect of an employee wellness program could mean the
difference between profit and loss." -William
M. Kizer Chairman, Central States Indemnity, Well Workplace Gold,
Founding Chairman, Wellness Councils of America, "Corporate Wellness
Makes A Bottom-Line Impact", Wellness Councils of America "We
have found that 60% -- well over half of Americans -- are not regularly
active. Worse yet, 25% of Americans are not active at all.
We need to turn [these trends] around quickly, for the health of our
citizens and our country. Businesses need to learn from what has worked
in the past and promote worksite fitness, an easy option for workers." -Donna E. Shalala, Secretary of Health and Human Services July 1996
