Corporate Wellness
How It Works
Cadence's corporate outreach programs are designed to provide the same kind of world-class, individualized training for which we are reknowned but with an eye towards preventative health care. Although we work with groups of employees in our outreach and health programs, emphasis is still placed on the individual's strengths, weaknesses, needs and goals. Weight loss, lower body-mass index, lower resting metabolic rate, increased caloric burn, nutritional consultations and health screenings, stress testing, and basic coaching/training regimens for long term preventative health care are just some of the benefits ensured to participants who partake in Cadence programs.*
Cadence's corporate packages include 8, 10, or 12 week corporate group swim, run, or indoor cycling classes and accommodate from 10 to 16 participants per class, depending on the sport. Alternatively, our corporate packages are tailored to your employees' long-term needs to ensure prolonged care in a motivating and positively reinforced environment. We'll even take our services to your facilities!
For more information, pricing options, and scheduling please contact Cadence at 1-8PRO-CADENCE (or, 215-508-4300) and ask to speak with our coaching staff. Alternatively, you can email us at info@cadencecycling.com
Health Reform that Works!
It's no secret that there is a massive correlation between health and working productivity. In short, corporate wellness improves the bottom line.
More than 70% of America’s employers* with 50 or more employees have some form of active wellness initiatives, the vast majority of which integrate a form of excercise into these programs. Employers see a twofold benefit by implementing these programs: first, the benefits outweigh the costs; and second, it is a practical way to decrease accelerating health care costs.
Cost-Benefit Analysis & Improved Productivity
An employer's most important asset is their employees: happiness, a positive work culture, and good health are all necessary conditions for a productive work force. It's no stretch to show a direct correlation between healthy employees and an improved bottom line: healthy employees sleep better, have reduced stress, take fewer days of absense/sick leave, concentrate better, and are more courteous. These factors greatly contribute to a more efficient work force, and by extension, a better managed enterprise.
As an example, an internal Du Pont study shows that for every dollar invested in workplace health programs there is a $1.42 savings in lower absenteeism costs. Absences from non-job related illness plunged 14% at 41 Du Pont facilities where a wellness program was implemented.
Reduced Health Insurance Premiums
Health insurance premiums are sky-rocketing. For many companies, nearly 50% of their profits are eaten up by health care costs. Enterprises have tried cost-sharing and managed care programs to offset these high costs, but in the end this transfers the financial responsibility to the employee and can reduce the quality of care provided. Cadence's corporate wellness programs, on the other hand, are preventative in nature in the sense that they drastically reduce the need for health care in the first place!
A subsidiary of the Sara Lee Corporation, Superior Coffee and Foods, highlights dramatic results due to the company’s wellness program; specifically, 22% fewer hospital admissions; 29% shorter hospital stays; 42% lower expenses per admission; and a 40% cut in long-term disability costs.
*Diabetes is a disease of epidemic proportions, afflicting 20.6 million people aged 20 or older in the United States. Its costs were $132 billion in 2002, including $92 billion in medical costs and $40 billion in lost wages. American employers, who in 2002 helped pay for a portion of the 82,000 Americans who had their legs or feet amputated because they did not control their diabetes properly, bear the brunt of the cost.
