Loss of Productivity Due to Illness and Injury

We have all heard the statistics of the vast amount of productivity that is lost each year due to illness and injury.  As productivity goes, so do profits and then the overall welfare of a business.  This theme should sound overly familiar to many of us in today’s troubled economy.  Many times illness or a lengthy recovery from injury, versus a shorter recovery, can be directly linked to an employee’s overall level of health.  Yet, despite all employers do to maintain the various components of their business, very little is done to maintain the health of its business’s most important component:  its employees.
