An Investment in Human Capital
Better employee health can lead to a healthier corporate bottom line. And we can help! Weight Watchers has built its reputation on getting results—and Weight Watchers can bring winning results to you and your employees. Let us work with you to develop a workplace wellness initiative—one that will fit your budget (you as an employer can underwrite some of the costs, all of the costs or none of the costs), potentially save you money on health care premiums, reduce absenteeism and increase productivity.

Weaving Wellness into Your Workplace
Getting your staff personally invested into wanting to live healthier lives is easier than most business leaders think. Weight Watchers can easily be incorporated into an overall corporate health promotion strategy.

Promoting Sustained Weight Loss
Our role—yours and ours—is to tap into the workplace culture, making it okay to raise awareness of the risks of being overweight, and then seamlessly move forward to tackle the sometimes sensitive issue of being overweight by offering answers, resources, information and support. We'll achieve this through our comprehensive approach to weight management—one that fits all lifestyles and one that gets results—positive ones!

Don't Pay the Price of the Obesity Epidemic
Based on solid studies, two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese. This alarming statistic goes well beyond the initial “WOW!”reaction one has when first hearing it. Being overweight has negative consequences on many fronts for those faced with weight issues—and it's affecting their employers' corporate bottom lines, too. Health care insurers have increased premiums by double-digits to cover an ever-expanding menu of chronic health conditions—many attributable to weight issues. It's just one way Corporations are bearing the financial weight of America's biggest health crisis.

Increasing your financial bottom line through reduced healthcare costs, productivity and absenteeism is only one side of the priceless equation of a responsible employer. In addition to getting the results you need to maintain a thriving business, Weight Watchers will reap multiple results for your employees committed to losing and maintaining a healthier weight. Benefits of corporate wellness initiatives extend well beyond the workplace. Working men and women who learn proper eating and exercise strategies will prepare and serve more healthful meals at home and be more active with their families. Good nutrition and regular physical activities leads to healthy weight, which in turn affects overall health and attitude. It even goes further: Our hope is that tomorrow’s workforce, our children, can be helped to make smart eating decisions to stave off the growing childhood obesity problem today. It all starts with solid role-modeling.

We invite you to sit down over a healthy lunch (on us!) and learn how easy it is to offer Weight Watchers to your workforce. Call Sheryl Fellows (Director of Corporate Communications, Weight Watchers) at 248.479.1356 or email her at sheryl_fellows@wwgroup.com to find out how we can work together and easily offer Weight Watchers to your most valued assets. Can you really afford a “weight-and-see” attitude?
