Chronic Disease Prevention & Management
The most frequently reported disabling diseases in the workforce include musculoskeletal disease, depression, cancer, and cardiovascular disease – all of which can be chronic, resulting in lost productivity and direct costs to employers (Willis Towers Watson, 2009/2010 North American Staying@Work Report). Y@Work corporate programs include customizable toolkits, including printable and digital assets, alongside challenges, to help your employees learn more about common health issues – from prevention to management.
