Rising Insurance Costs Fuelling Boom In Worker Health Checks
The soaring cost of health insurance is prompting more and more U.S bosses to carry out checks on their employers to gauge how healthy they are and whether they may be at risk of getting ill in the future.
The health and wellbeing of workers is becoming an ever more pressing issue for American bosses, particularly against the background of rising healthcare costs, increasing levels of obesity, an ageing workforce and a crisis in pension and retirement provision.
This time of year is generally the most popular period in which employees are offered “open enrollment”. This is where workers are invited to enroll in or change their health benefits and new features such as HRAs (health risk assessments) are introduced.
