Attached is the report on the implementation of corporate wellness programs. Due to rising health benefit costs and a rising number of health benefit claims, you requested that I investigate the implementation of corporate wellness programs as a way to reduce company costs. In order to determine whether it would be possible to improve employee health and lifestyle habits, while also cutting company costs, I analyzed the results that several companies had after launching their own wellness programs. I also considered and researched the potential disadvantages of implementing a wellness program. After a thorough investigation of all of these factors, I recommend that Technicraft, Inc. implement a corporate wellness program in order to improve employee health and productivity and reduce or stabilize company health benefit costs. I have enjoyed researching this topic and would like to meet with you to discuss my recommendation. I will call you early next week in order to schedule a meeting time or you may contact me at extension 5555. WELLNESS PROGRAM RECCOMMENDATIONS FOR TECHNICRAFT, INC.

Furthermore today’s number one cause for stress and anxiety is work; our jobs can cause a great deal of stress. (Anxiety vs. Stress: What's The Difference?) There are several factors in the work force that can cause stress. Having an overload of work, making you feel as if you will never see the end of the work, or that working 10-12 hours a day is not making a dent in it. Another cause of stress at work could be time, if you have to work to an unrealistic schedule, this too can cause stress. Stress and anxiety can have different levels depending on what factors impact our lives.
