3 Huge Ways Big Tobacco is Destroying Your Company’s Bottom Line
Does your company have employee’s who smoke?
According to research through the American Cancer Society, The American Lung Association, and the Centers for Disease Control, the costs associated with employee’s who smoke are costing companies billions of dollars a year due to:
- Increased Health Insurance Costs & Claims-health care costs for smokers are 40% higher than non-smokers in the same age group. Corporate employee’s who smoke cost their employee’s $1429 more per smoker, per year, in healthcare costs.
- Lost productivity-Four 10- minute smoke breaks per day equate to 1 month of non-productivity.
- Increased absenteeism-smokers are 50% more likely to be hospitalized and have a 15% higher disability rate.
Incorporating a smoking cessation program into your company’s wellness program will not only increase your company’s bottom line but will also create goodwill for your employees. Those who quit smoking will thank you!
