Corporate Wellness Programs by FRESH Med in NYC & Online Classes by FRESH MED U
“Wellness and well-being are not the same thing but they do influence each other. Well-being refers to a more holistic whole-of-life experience, whereas wellness refers just to physical health. Employers can have a big influence over employees’ wellbeing. The more wellness opportunities offered in the workplace, the higher sense of wellbeing each employee will experience. ”

We provide a confidential report that can validate your investment in our FRESH “Pro-Graham.”
OUR RESEARCH:
Studies by Optum and others have shown that a company with a comprehensive wellness program can achieve the triple aim of:
1. Reducing healthcare costs,
2. Increasing employee engagement and productivity,
3. Encouraging healthier and happier employees.
A more holistic approach to measuring your wellness program is to look at its value of investment, or VOI. It’s a broader and more detailed approach, and it goes much further than return of investment (ROI) does; ROI is a component of VOI.
“In traditional wellness programs, we measure success by participation and ROI on medical costs, but in today’s approach it’s not about ROI. It’s about productivity, and business metrics, and retention, and customer satisfaction. It’s not about health and benefits in silos, but about broader well-being, and that includes social connectedness, financial security, emotional health and job satisfaction.” The old way of getting everybody to do the same thing is being abandoned.”

We host health fairs, workplace screenings, employee wellness lectures, executive physicals, office yoga, movement classes and much more.
