Health and Wellness Rooms are a perfect fit for many companies looking to reduce their premiums and save money, especially when looking at your end of the year bottom line. Get your business out of the red and back into the black. Putting a Health and Wellness Room in your IIPP (Injury and Illness Protection Program) can help you save thousands of dollars and reduce your Insurance E-Mod rating.
Health and Wellness Rooms can provide your injured employee with knowledge and understanding of their injuries. It is a great place to track your employee’s progress during their recovery. “Out of sight, out of mind” is a very relevant phrase when it comes to work comp claims.

The Health and Wellness Room tracks their progress and keeps them on the payroll. They continue to work the hours they were working when injured. This aids your business in reducing time loss which can be expensive in several collateral costs.
Don’t let your injured employee become too acquainted with their couch! Make them accountable and responsible for getting themselves back to work. Track their progress and the progress of the doctor you have chosen to treat your injured workers. Proof:Positive can help you with your New Year’s Resolution and start saving in 2009.
