How many of your employees are living with a chronic disease or are at risk of developing a chronic disease in the future?
The latest Discovery Healthy Company Index Survey showed some staggering stats.
Of those surveyed:
- 52% had multiple (5 or more) risk factors outside the healthy range.
- 61% had an unhealthy weight (with 28% being obese).
- The average number of days lost to illness/injury per employee per year was an astounding 8 days, which in turn translated to an average cost of nearly R10,000 per employee per year.
