Wellness Care Benefits Available To FCICA Members

Online, October 14, 2010 (Newswire.com) - As health care costs continue to rise, employers continue to search for effective ways of lowering-or at least controlling-those costs. One solution that many companies are finding to be quite effective is wellness. Studies are showing that wellness programs are having a profound impact on reducing employee health risk factors for disease, lowering health insurance claims, reducing work-related injuries, and improving productivity and employee morale. Wellness programs are no longer being seen as an employee benefit or perk, but as a necessary investment that can provide a good return in the long-run.

Keeping in line with the FCICA mission of supporting and enhancing their members' businesses, a recent partnership has been formed with Tri Wellness, the experts in Workplace Health Solutions, to offer a new member benefit. This benefit of wellness and preventative health care is long overdue in the industry and comes at a time when the health of employees can mean the difference between remaining competitive or not.

Tri Wellness, a California-based company, is a national provider of comprehensive Workplace Health Solutions that helps companies to reduce health care costs through improved employee health. They are experts at assisting employers and their employees control or reduce health care costs by identifying, addressing, and reducing health risks before they turn into considerable medical expenses. The result is a healthier workforce and a healthier bottom line.

Their flagship service is Wellness Connect, an online-based, turn-key workplace health solution that effectively and efficiently brings wellness into companies. Integrating the key elements of proven wellness programs, this system connects employee populations to a suite of tools, resources, and information they need to effect lasting, healthy behavior change.

But make no mistake; Tri Wellness is not in the software business. Tri Wellness is a true wellness company comprised of a team of committed and experienced health professionals who stand ready to deliver high quality and innovative programs and services. They don't just talk wellness, they eat, sleep, breathe, and live wellness; and that passion can be seen and felt by every company and individual they work with.

Tri Wellness is now offering a complimentary Organizational Needs Assessment to all FCICA members. This assessment will take a look at your business from a health perspective and will help to identify areas of risk within your organization that may need attention. From there, Tri Wellness can help to strategize cost-effective solutions for addressing those risks.

In the floor covering industry, the people are by far the greatest asset to the company and it is imperative that they are supported not only in terms of proper training, safety and product knowledge, but also in terms of their health and wellness.
