By Donna M. Airoldi
Health incentives are popular programs these days and are poised to continue their growth into 2010. Not only do they encourage employees to break bad habits, but they also have been shown to result in improved performance, fewer sick days, higher employee satisfaction and lower health insurance premiums, among other benefits.
Plus, the New Year is right around the corner and one of the top resolutions for many people is to lose weight.
Help your valued employees reach their health goals with the Cesto Portable Nutritional Tracker by Escali, which functions as a food scale and nutrition resource, and it’s lightweight enough to easily carry between the home and office.
