HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – Workplace wellness programs lead to better employee engagement and lower healthcare costs for credit unions, Brian Berchtold, vice president of sales and marketing for Portland, Ore.-based corporate wellness solutions provider hubbub health said at the CUNA HR and Training & Development (HR/TD) Council Conference Friday.
Berchtold shared the benefits of wellness programs during a conference breakout session, "How Better Employee Health Means Better Business." Nicole Colgan, director of human resources/employee development for the $961 million TwinStar Credit Union in Olympia, Wash. and Barbara Cecil, director of human resources for the $498 million Maps Credit Union in Salem, Ore. backed up his claims by offering wellness program examples from their cooperatives.
Healthier employees are happier and more energetic, and therefore more productive at work, Berchtold said. He added that a healthy staff means lower overall medical costs for organizations.
