Invest in Employee Wellness this Cold and Flu Season: Boost Morale and Productivity

Invest in Employee Wellness this Cold and Flu Season: Boost Morale and Productivity
As the colder months approach, cold and flu season becomes a major concern for both employees and employers. Investing in your employees’ wellness during this time isn’t just about keeping everyone healthy—it’s about ensuring that your workforce stays motivated, productive, and engaged. A company that prioritizes wellness is a company that reaps the benefits of higher morale and fewer sick days.
The Cost of Sick Employees
Sick employees can be a massive drain on company resources. According to the CDC, productivity losses linked to absenteeism cost U.S. employers $225.8 billion annually, or $1,685 per employee. When employees are out sick, deadlines get delayed, projects pile up, and the overall workflow slows down, which can lead to a ripple effect on your company’s bottom line.
But the problem isn’t just with employees staying home. Sick employees often come to work despite being ill, a phenomenon known as presenteeism, which reduces productivity and can spread illness to others in the office. Investing in your employees’ health is an investment in your company’s overall efficiency and success.

Boost Employee Morale
Focusing on employee wellness does more than just cut down on sick days—it boosts overall morale. Employees who feel cared for and valued are more likely to stay engaged, loyal, and motivated. Wellness programs show your team that their health and well-being are a priority, which can result in better job satisfaction and retention.
Don’t Let FSA and HSA Dollars Go to Waste
Many employees have Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Accounts (HSA) that offer tax advantages for medical expenses, but these funds are often underutilized. FSA funds, in particular, often come with a “use it or lose it” clause, meaning employees need to use the funds by the end of the year. Offering wellness services that accept FSA and HSA dollars ensures that these funds don’t go to waste and helps employees make the most of their benefits.
