You want an engaged, productive workplace? It all starts with a healthy employee.There are a few realities workplaces need to pay closer attention to. Consider the following facts:
· Employees are working with fewer resources and spending more than 60% of their days at work.
· Obesity, high blood pressure, anxiety/depression, diabetes type 2 and many other chronic conditions is on a rapid incline.
· Health Benefits, short term/long term disability costs are rising year after year.
· 40% of workers feel overworked, pressured and squeezed to the point of anxiety, depression & disease.
· In Canada, health & productivity costs totaled 17% of payroll vs. 8% just two years ago.

Searching For What Works In Employee Wellness - Paychex
Our guest for this episode is Bob Merberg, employee wellness manager at Paychex.
Bob Merberg is a contemplative guy. His approach toward Paychex’s health and wellness program combines a balanced review of the current literature, a determination to meet the needs of Paychex’s 12,500 employees, and a commitment to satisfy the organization’s goals. Bob’s viewpoints diverge from what’s au courant in employee wellness, but that’s due to the data telling him something different from many of the latest program trends. This divergence is part of what makes Bob one of the leaders in the field. Join us as we explore with Bob the challenges of searching for what works in employee wellness.

NY Writer Maps Journal News Employee Addresses
Remember communist thinking Janet Hasson, publisher of the Journal News who approved voyeurism at the Journal News, allowing her communist thinking employees to map out and list the addresses of private citizens who exercise their constitutional rights to own firearms in Westchester and Rockland Counties, N.Y.?

Neither do her employees; the same ones that thought listing the names and addresses of ligitimate American gun owners was fair game and good for a few laughs.
Who's laughing now?
