Burden of Chronic Disease on Business and U.S. Competitiveness
High rates of chronic conditions among American’s workers have affected business and individual health costs, undercut U.S. competitiveness and significantly reduced productivity.
Companies are now turning to well-designed programs and incentives in the areas of prevention and disease management to create an infrastructure that will help them to achieve long-term financial relief.
This report outlines the significant and costly impact of chronic diseases in the workplace and looks at how companies are taking action to implement workplace wellness programs.
The report is an excerpt from a larger PFCD publication, the 2009 annual Almanac of Chronic Disease, which will be released later this month.
