Corporate Wellness

Myriad Medical Associates develops custom corporate wellness programs based on the specific needs of our clients. As on-site wellness programs continue to grow in popularity, many employers are adding on-site chiropractic care to their list of employee benefits. This popular service has benefits for both the employer and employees who use the service and should be a part of every company’s corporate wellness program.

Why should you consider implementing a corporate wellness program?

Harvard University conducted a recent study showing for every dollar that a company spends on corporate wellness programs, there is a decrease of $2.73 on absenteeism related costs incurred by a company. Employee wellness is regarded as a high return on investment for employers because of increasing health care costs. Every dollar invested in employee wellness program brings a greater return on reduced health care cost and lower absenteeism cost.

How does it work?

When a company adds on-site chiropractic care as an employee benefit, a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic comes to the place of employment a certain amount of times per month. This could be monthly, bi-weekly or even once per week, depending on the specific needs and the size of the company.
The frequency of visits to the business site will be dependent on the size of the business.
- A small company with less than 25 people may only need a visit once a month, whereas companies that have more than 100 employees might need weekly visits.
Once you have a chiropractor coming into your place of business to treat employees, it is easy to add on additional wellness services such as group education meetings. Workshops on nutrition, posture, ergonomic exercises, stretching and stress-relief work cohesively with chiropractic adjustments. This helps employees take control of their health and continue to participate in the activities they love.

How much will it cost?

Costs for on-site chiropractic care vary based on the frequency of visits, how many patients the chiropractor sees and the preferred payment structure of the business. Below are a couple of options that are popular with our clients.
- One scenario is the company offering the benefit would pay the chiropractor a set fee based on a monthly contract. The fee is determined based on the number of hours the chiropractor is expected to be on-site and/or the number of patients he or she is expected to treat.
- Another popular option is a company subsidized plan. The employer will set up the contract with the chiropractor and pay a portion of the fee with employees who use the service paying the rest of the fee at the time of treatment.
Before you even think that you cannot afford additional perks for your employees, always give a thought to corporate wellness as a cost reduction strategy! Remember that a healthy workforce will save your organization money through high productivity, performance and less turnover.

EMPLOYER benefits include:

Reduced overall cost of healthcare

Chiropractic care can prevent small aches and pains from becoming debilitating conditions that require intensive treatment. The more intensive treatment employees require, the higher the employer’s overall healthcare costs will be.

Improved employee morale

Employees like to feel appreciated. When employers bring in a service like on-site chiropractic care, employees know their well-being is cared about. Many are happy to have this additional “perk” of working for their employer.

Cost-effective use of healthcare funds

Instead of conducting a wellness program that is aimed at smokers or overweight employees only, for example, on-site chiropractic services reach a far wider audience making them more cost-effective and far-reaching than more targeted wellness programs.

Less use of PTO

If the chiropractor comes to their place of employment, workers don’t have to use PTO to get to their appointments. In as short amount of time as a coffee break, they can get their treatment and be back to the desk without having to touch their PTO accruals.

Improved overall health

You feel better when you’re not in pain. Chiropractic treatments can alleviate aches and pains in a quick and non-invasive manner. Chiropractors also focus on whole body wellness. This means the Doctor of Chiropractic can advise the patient about lifestyle choices and be a resource for healthier living.

Individual attention

An on-site chiropractor can address each employee’s individual needs and health concerns on a wide range of topics. If referrals to a specialist or diagnostic imaging are needed, the Doctor of Chiropractic can provide those as well. This can cut down on the number of employees who put off seeing a doctor because it’s inconvenient to do so and put patients in touch with the right specialist sooner.
