HCW wants to extend heart-felt congratulations to our clients who won the Healthiest Employers of the Triangle award given by the Triangle Business Journal. This recent event honored 20 local companies that support a healthy environment for their employees and HCW is very proud to call 5 of them our clients:  Mulkey, Inc., CATO Research, North Carolina Medical Board, Wyrick Robbins and Smith Debnam.

Wellness programs provide so many benefits to businesses – including some that are not readily thought about, such as a huge boost to morale! According to Well-Being by Tom Rath, people who exercise just 2 days a week are happier and have significantly less stress.  Now that’s a gift worth giving at the holiday season or any season! 

Other benefits include reduced absenteeism, reduced worker’s compensation claims and the obvious improvement in the overall health of your employees. The benefits are numerous, but it also takes the commitment and full backing of senior leadership. Not to fear, there are many tools available to use as a guide in getting started. Many we offer right on our website to our clients.

If you would like some assistance in helping your employees down the road to health and well-being in 2012, HCW can help. We’re offering a free wellness consult to local businesses! With a simple click, you can find out how HCW’s Medical Management tools can help your organization in the coming year.

Wishing you a happy and healthy 2012!
