Corporate wellness isn’t only healthy for employees, but for the bottom line of U.S. companies. After all, according to Entrepreneur, employee disengagement costs U.S. companies more than $500 million every year. “Common factors occasioning workers to underperform are, among others, dehydration, obesity, depression, body pain, poor diet and smoking, as pointed out by Bellabeat. The company also points out how, over time, all these factors compound to weaken a company's happiness, productivity, and, in the end, profits,” they add. It’s why more companies are taking advantage of wellness programs offered by companies such as Wellteq Digital Health Inc. (CSE:WTEQ), Teladoc Health Inc. (NYSE:TDOC), Peloton Interactive (NASDAQ:PTON), 1Life Healthcare Inc. (NASDAQ:ONEM), and WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX:WELL)(OTC:WLYYF).
