In these chaotic economic times, the stress levels in the workplace are at an all time high.  Stress affects everybody differently but it does affect everybody.  Some people respond to increased levels of stress by resorting to negative habits such as smoking and overeating as a way to cope with the challenges.  These negative coping strategies not only hurt the individual they hurt companies.  Smoking, overeating, and other negative coping strategies decrease company productivity while increasing costs; two things that hurt every company. 

During stressful times, smokers smoke more and the eaters eat more, both drastically decrease productivity.  When a smoker takes a smoke break it is never a five minute break.  It takes several minutes to get their cigarettes and walk to the smoking area.  Once outside, a smoker will take 5-10 minutes to smoke their cigarette and then burn a few more minutes making their way back to their workplace.  The same process occurs with the snacker or eater.  Time is wasted walking to the vending machine, enjoying their snack, and strolling back to their workplace.  Countless hours are wasted each month and during stressful times these patterns are increased since it's the employees coping strategy.

Not only does productivity suffer, but unhealthy employees cost a company more than healthy ones.  For example, to insure a smoker it costs more money.  Smoking, overeating, and stress increase illnesses and sicknesses in a workplace.  This results in more sick days, doctor's visits, and insurance claims all of which cost companies unnecessary money every year. 

Company's can avoid this decrease in productivity and increased costs due to stress by conducting a health and wellness program throughout the company.  John Weir has created effective programs that can assist employees in becoming smoke-free, living a healthy lifestyle, and reduce stress in an effective and healthy way.  Not only will these programs make employees healthier, it will save money and increase productivity.  John's wellness programs are so effective that many of southwestern Pennsylvania's most prestigious hospitals have utilized them to assist their staff members.
