Why should your organization have a health and wellness program?

In 1998, Johnson and Johnson estimated savings of at least $1.9 million through decreased medical costs, reduced sick leave, and increased productivity.(8)

David King's background in management consulting means he knows the corporate environment well. He knows that any health and wellness program must have a return on investment for the organization. That is why King Fitness Corporate Programs mold to your business.

"The return on investment enjoyed by five large companies as a result of their health promotion activities ranged from $2.05 to $6.15 (on the dollar). (10)"
