05/22/2013– Align Wellness Center Finds Corporate Wellness Programs in High Demand

Northbrook, IL - Corporate wellness programs are part of a growing trend to fight the skyrocketing cost of medical care and insurance premiums. According to an article from the “American Institute for Preventative Medicine,” 91 percent of organizations now have some type of health promotion program in place, versus only 78 percent a decade ago.
Statistics have routinely shown that employers who utilize corporate wellness programs have decreased absenteeism, reduced health care expenses and increased productivity among employees.

“I have definitely seen an increase in businesses large and small, villages and organizations utilizing my corporate health and wellness programs than I did in 2004 when I started my practicing”, said Dr. Gregg Gerstin, the Chiropractic physician at Align Wellness Center. “The current trends seem to be chair massages and Lunch and Leans on stress management and exercise are our most popular programs.”
According to Dr. Gerstin some companies use incentives for their Corporate Wellness program. These incentives motivate employees to want to join in. Some incentives can include paid days off work, discounts on insurance, bonuses, money and more.
