OBESITY - EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY


Obesity has been increasing at a phenomenal pace but unfortunately has always been looked at as a cosmetic disorder. The fact being that it is a medical disorder.

Modern medicines have failed in checking obesity & have hence labeled it is the result of overeating and lethargy.

Obesity has been growing steadily among the whole population & around 2/3rds of Americans and now even 1/3rd of URBAN INDIANS are suffering from it.

Obesity leads to 2-4% loss in productivity. (It has been established by a research conducted by Duke University in 2007. The results of the study were published by Duke University on April 23, 2007, in the Archives of Internal Medicine. *http://www.dukehealth.org/HealthLibrary/News/10044)

An obese individual takes 13 days off more than a non-obese individual.
13 days is more than 5% time lost. With 5 working days a week and 52 weeks we have 260 days. So 13/250=5.2% productivity loss. (Around 10 national holidays)

Medical costs for obese employyes are higher - by atleast 77% on an average.
It is known that at an average a person beyond the age of 35 years would have one major procedure done almost every 7 years, with each costing almost 1 lac rupees. So Rs 14300/- per year

OBESITY INVITES
Coronary heart disease.
Type 2 diabetes.
Hypertension.
Hypercholesterolemia.
Stroke.
Gallbladder disease.
Osteoarthritis (knee).
Even endometrial cancer & PCOS.


As companies look to squeeze more productivity out of downsized workforces, it's a good time to consider how much obesity is dragging down the bottom line.

Obesity is more prevalent in middle aged employees i.e from the age group of 35-55 yrs. This is the most productive and the most expensive resources fall in this age group.

Say a middle to higher level resource costs Rs 1 lac p.m.=12 lac p.a 3% productivity lost =Rs 36,000/- 5.2% absenteeism=Rs 60,000/- Medical expenses=Rs 14,300/-
Totals 1,10,300/-= more than 9% of the pay.

With approximately 30% employees obese the loss is 30%*9%=2.7%of the total workforce. For any (software) company the employee costs are about 40-55% of the revenues. So 40*2.7=1.08% to 1.35% of revenues. On billion dollar toplines the savings are millions of dollars

A lot of people Attempting to lose weight fail even after trying very hard This might also lead to depression and other psychological stress.

We do not have a magic stick but a science that is evolving- Homoeopathy. It works for majority of the cases.

The best part is 'OUR TRIAL TREATMENT' being absolutely free to try and anyone can lose 1 Kg of weight. Thereon we have MONEY BACK GUARANTEE PROGRAMS where if a person does not lose weight he /she gets their money back.

We limit our care for the employees to medical check ups or workshops but real benefits flow when corrective action is taken.
