Workplace Health in the U.S.

The average working adult spends one third of their waking lives in the workplace. There are so many ways to impact the health of our work-life communities directly, without reliance on massive health care delivery mechanisms. By taking steps to improve wellness, reduce pain, and impact changes in the way we function day to day, the productivity of workers and the vitality of a workplace can increase dramatically. TEAM Works offers you a tool to take charge of these issues.

• Adults who have less access to needed preventative care are more likely to experience poorer health outcomes. This in turn leads to lost workplace productivity and greater risk of illness and death, at a cost of $65 to $135 billion per year.
• Extensive literature links job characteristics such as work overload to    job stress and stress related health issues such as cardiovascular disease and psychological disorders. As the average work year for prime aged couples has increased by 700 hours in the last 2 decades, high levels of emotional exhaustion are the norm for 25% to 30% of the workforce.
• Pain is the most prevalent health condition among U.S. workers and the most expensive in terms of lost productivity.
