When you consider that over 75% or workers in Canada suffer from work-related stress and chronic health conditions costing companies 35% of healthcare bill. it’s easy to see how this affects productivity levels on an individual level as well, especially considering many employees with these problems aren’t even aware they have them! With a simple solution like keeping your staff healthy by implementing some aspects into their lives outside work (like taking breaks), not only will turnover decrease but so too does lost income due absence because people don’t get sick often enough anymore when given time off every day prior to the work.Employee wellness program can manage the health and mental state of employees well. Which in turn result into increased turnover, and reduced absenteeism.
Top Employee Wellness Programs in Canada
Corporates are now exploring the option of enrolling in wellness programs that can help them reduce their health care spending. With increasing employee stress and suicide rates, it is no wonder why many employers see this move towards encouraging employee mental and physical well-being as a way to save money on costly medical treatments or surgeries that often come with high costs from pharmaceutical companies without corresponding benefits such as lower insurance premiums. Below is the list of some of the top wellness programs run by businesses in Canada.
Mental Health Counseling
Every second an employee in the Canada is experiencing Chronic Stress. Therapy or counseling improves their mental health by reducing stress and anxiety, developing more mindfulness to promote better sleep habits as well as increasing self-confidence for work success! There are various EAP programs that offer free access to onsite sessions of professional assistance with a therapist specializing specifically in helping those suffering from workplace problems like these – so it’s worth checking if your company provides this service before you get started yourself (or risk running up against budget cuts).
Physical Therapy
In Canada, 30% of employees have had experience with physical pain. Companies offer programs that provide an online personal physio for their workers so they can take sessions during breaks or at home as needed without having to travel back and forth from work.
Yoga or Fitness Classes
Yoga or Fitness classes can improve physical, mental, and social well-being in a company’s workforce by encouraging the practice throughout their workday–and it doesn’t stop there. Guided meditation sessions also benefit from being offered alongside guided movement activities such as yoga to help manage stress levels better for employees who have difficulty focusing on one thing at once.
Chronic disease management
The Canadian workforce is suffering from a chronic disease – over 25% of all employees in the Canada have diabetes or hypertension. Both can be treated by making positive changes to diet and exercise routine, but many don’t know about this because they’re not aware how much it affects productivity at work. But now there are programs that offer medical care for these disorders as well as information on what employers need do so their staff members become healthy again while staying productive during their own shift.
Women health (PCOS | Fertility)
It is important for Canadian companies to focus on women’s health issues because they make up nearly half the country’s workforce. There are several programs available, such as PCOS and fertility treatment, that can be tailored specifically towards female employees who suffer from these conditions or have in- endured difficulty conceiving children due their lifestyle choices like smoking cigarettes etcetera
Women’s reproductive systems undergo changes throughout her lifetime; some may not know about them until long after having experienced problems during preconception months when trying unsuccessfully at times get pregnant.
Telemedicine
When it comes to healthcare, the telemedicine is a new trend that has taken over within recent years. With more affordable visits and controlling costs for businesses with this form of service through online technology; small business owners are taking advantage as well in Canada by offering their own version on how one can receive care from specialists all around them instead of traveling far distances just because they don’t have insurance coverage or time off work while you’re sick – which could result into not being able see your doctor at all until much later than necessary.
Tobacco Cessation

The wellbeing of your employees ultimately affects your workplace and business performance. Following are some of the costs that a typical large company in Canada may incur due to wellness and health issues (based on Mercer data):
High Turnover: Employee attrition costs 90%–200% of a departing employee’s salary
High Absenteeism: 78% of employees miss work due to mental health concerns
Lost Productivity: Productivity losses linked to absenteeism & turnover cost ~$2,000 per employee.
Comparing this $2,000 loss with the $200 wellness spend per employee, the ROI seems to be great for employers in Canada.
