CAT’S PAW INC

Healthcare costs are at an alltime high at Cat’s Paw Inc. due to the general health and
habits of the employees. This proposal covers possible solutions for this problem.

The general health of the employees will improve as we promote preventative care and
address risk factors. To do this we need a comprehensive health promotion plan
including five key elements: health education, supportive physical and social
environment, program integration into administrative structure, related worker
assistance programs and screenings. We can partner with our company’s health
insurance company for onsite health evaluations and screenings as an essential first
step. The decreases in health risks for the employees translate in to key benefits for the
​ iscussed reduced rates
company. A 1982 article in the Journal of ​Occupational Health d
of absenteeism and other costs related to illness. We predict a reduction in on the job
injuries as well.

Including a on-site fitness center to our plans will increase the health and wellbeing of
our workers while increasing profitability. An engaged, happy workforce will want to
come to work, be less burned out and stay on the job longer. Cat’s Paw would greatly
benefit from investing significant resources in an on-site fitness center that will result in
employees increased job performance, retention and recruitment of new top talent. A
state of the art facility will underline our commitment to excellence and our passion for
our mission and employees. The benefits of the fitness center greatly outweigh the
costs which can be mitigated with time. Also, we recommend a fitness center manager
be hired to run the day to day.
