Measuring A Corporate Wellness Programs Return On Investment.

Measuring a corporate wellness program’s return on investment (ROI) is crucial for determining its effectiveness and justifying continued or increased funding.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to calculate and measure the ROI of a corporate wellness program:

Determine the Costs

Track Key Metrics

Calculate Savings

Determine the ROI

Consider The Qualitative Benefits

Adjust For Confounding Factors

Regularly Re-evaluate

Leverage Feedback

Compare with Benchmarks

Let’s dive into the detail of all 9 steps.

1. Determine the Costs.

Calculate the program’s total cost. This should include:

Program implementation and administration costs.

Costs of incentives or rewards.

Any health screening or assessment costs.

Costs of wellness events, workshops, and other related activities.

Communication and promotional expenses.

Tech or platform costs (if using wellness software or apps).

2. Track Key Metrics.

To Measure ROI, You’ll Need To Track Various Metrics Before And After The Implementation Of The Wellness Program:

Healthcare Costs: This includes medical claims, pharmacy costs, etc.

Absenteeism: Track the number of sick days or unplanned absences.

Presenteeism: This measures reduced productivity while at work due to health issues.

Turnover Rate: Check if the wellness program impacts employee retention.

Worker’s Compensation and Disability Claims can decrease as employee health improves.

3. Calculate Savings.

Healthcare Savings: Subtract post-program healthcare costs from pre-program healthcare costs.

Absenteeism Savings: Calculate the cost savings from reduced absenteeism. This involves multiplying the reduced number of absentee days by the average cost per absentee day (considering wages, replacement costs, etc.).

Turnover Savings: If there’s a noticeable reduction in turnover rate post-program, you can calculate savings based on reduced recruitment, training, and other onboarding expenses.

Savings from Reduced Claims: Calculate the difference in worker’s compensation and disability claims before and after the program’s initiation.

4. Determine the ROI.

Use the formula: ROI = (TotalSavings−ProgramCosts) / ProgramCosts

Multiply the result by 100 to get a percentage.

5. Consider The Qualitative Benefits.

Improved employee morale and satisfaction.

Enhanced company image and attractiveness to potential employees.

Increased employee engagement and commitment.

6. Adjust For Confounding Factors.

Make sure other interventions or changes in the company during the assessment period aren’t responsible for the observed differences. For example, this must be considered if healthcare costs dropped because the company changed its insurance policy.

7. Regularly Re-evaluate.

Wellness programs’ impact can change over time, so regularly assess your program’s ROI. This will also allow you to adjust the program based on what’s working and what isn’t.

8. Leverage Feedback.

Survey employees to gauge satisfaction and solicit feedback for program improvements. Their insights can offer qualitative and quantitative data to evaluate the program’s effectiveness further.

9. Compare with Benchmarks.

If available, compare your ROI with industry benchmarks or other companies’ wellness program ROIs to see how your program stacks up.

Bottom Line.

Remember, while ROI is an essential measure of a program’s effectiveness, it’s also crucial to

consider the broader impact on company culture, employee well-being, and overall business success. Wellness programs often offer intangible benefits that can be just as valuable as financial ones.

Y’all are aware we probably have to keep it in the top 10 overall into at least the 19th right? One business day after initial intended marketed advertised release supposedly. Then we should be good unless Mark says otherwise.

Customers?

Can Misa be a customer

Of course you can be a customer! Everyone’s welcome in run of the mill!

Disclaimer: not everyone is welcome at ROTM due to our policy against assholes, trauma givers, and people fighting in the restaurant; the only exceptions are arsonists because if we removed them we wouldn’t have staff.

So, in your last post about the Percy Jackson TV show, I felt you lacked a few pieces of information/points. While it is true that the CGI in the film is pore and not constructed well, please note that while they have a large budget Disney has made a lot of restrictions to the show. In the original scrips there was a significantly larger amount of violence that would have needed more CGI. This was latter edited out of the script due to both restrictions and budget cuts for other parts in the show(sadly). Also to bring into prospective Sea of monsters the movie was made 10 years ago. Inflation has juristically affected the way money is used in films. Another thing to note is typically movie budgets are less than TV shows because they only are filming for one larger block of time. TV however they can take years meaning the acters need to be paid even for the time off set. This is not to say movies cannot take years, but it is to show that TV shows are filmed longer. I would also like to say I am genuinely not trying to be rude or unkind about your opinion and thoughts on the subject. I am just someone who has a different insight into the topic because of the things I know about the topic (I myself, am an actor and for the most part I think this is why the CGI was not the best as well as some of the script work). 

I did actually calculate inflation for Sea of Monsters versus the PJO TV show. We know the PJO TV show allegedly had a budget of $12-15 million per episode. For comparison, this is the type of budget Disney+ usually uses for stuff like The Mandalorian. I was doing a generous underestimate for the entire season which comes out to $96mil (12mil per episode x 8 episodes). Sea of Monsters' budget was 90mil. Here's that inflation:

So lil over $120mil. Going for a top estimate for s1 of the show (15x8) that's $120mil. And as far as I'd heard that may also not include stuff like budget for casting for the show. They are still roughly in similar ballparks.

Regardless of this - as an animator, i can tell you there is no excuse for that wonky CGI trident other than it being extremely quickly done. That's literally a transform error, like ctrl+t type stuff. That is a lazy and cheap trident, probably because Disney notoriously overworks and cheaps out with their CGI. The CGI problems in the show are majority because Disney's being cheap about it. This shows in nearly all the CGI in every episode.

If they had to remove violence from the script and so remove CGI scenes with it, then theoretically they should have more room in the budget for more or better CGI where it already is in the show. That money doesn't just vanish. Changing that in the script gives them less of an excuse, actually.

Also, as i mentioned in my previous post - if you don't want to CGI hydrokinesis, don't pick the franchise where the main character's defining power is hydrokinesis. If you can't have much violence, DON'T PICK THE GREEK MYTHOLOGY SERIES WHERE THE MAIN CHARACTER BEHEADS TWO PEOPLE IN THE FIRST BOOK AND IT ONLY GETS BLOODIER FROM THERE. You cannot have PJO without some level of violence. It's kind of very inherent to the series. Rick actually talks in his original Teaching Guide for The Lightning Thief about how, in argument against attempts to ban TLT (in this specific instance for "being too violent"), that monsters in the books poof into golden dust for a reason, because then they haven't "died." There is no blood. They can and will come back. Because it's fantasy. That is the excuse for all the violence. Of which there otherwise technically is a lot of.

If you are doing live action PJO you are going to have to have some amount of violence (and there is absolutely a level that is perfectly suitable for a PG13 audience. The show right now is leagues below that level. PG13 just means parental guidance for under 13 - this majority has to do with concerns about children under 13 replicating behavior on-screen. Past 13 kids know better than to do that, which is why that rating is a thing. There are plenty of film/media/etc that are way more gory and violent and are still PG13). You are going to have to CGI monsters/creatures to some degree regularly (alongside demigod powers like Percy's hydrokinesis even more regularly). And between those two things, characters are going to have to look like they're physically interacting with the CGI at times. Disney is capable of doing this. Disney does have the budget for this for the show. They're not doing it because they're being cheap. Disney has done this before and does it regularly. This is not anything new. It entirely has to do with CGI not having as many unions. They have no excuses. If they didn't expect to run into these problems then they clearly did no planning for what adapting the series would entail and didn't think at all of what the series actually featured before diving into it. And they have no excuse for that! That is step one!

I kind of resent when other adhd people talk about hyperfocus only because I'm jealous that I don't do that. I WISH I could zero in and stay focused on one task at a time. Can you imagine. I can't even do that with things I like.

That said I am also annoyed when people misuse the term hyperfocus to just mean 'the thing I'm into right now' but that is Beside the point

I might be wrong cos idk the US context so take this w a grain of salt... but despite scores of posts about it I fail to see the plan to ban tiktok as a bad thing 😅 it's already banned for employees/official devices by governments and international organisations across the world for compromising user data and um, literally being spyware. It's not like it's the Last Bastion of Free Speech either like dude just use a different app...
