MEMORANDUM

To：John Smith,Senior Director,Human Resources

From：Mary Green,Intern,Purchasing Department

Date：April 24，2016

Subject：Proposal to Add a Wellness Program

The purpose of this memo is to propose a wellness program for the employees in our company.Health care costs are rising.In the long run,implementing a wellness program in our corporation will decrease the company’s health care costs.Research indicates that nearly 70% of health care costs are from common illnesses related to high blood pressure,overweight,and lack of exercise,high cholesterol,stress,poor nutrition,and other preventable health issues.Health care costs are a major expense for most businesses,and they do not reflect costs due to the loss of productivity or absenteeism.A wellness program would address most,if not all,of these health care issues and related costs.

Benefits of Healthier Employees

A wellness program would substantially reduce costs associated with employee health care,and in addition our company would prosper through many other benefits.Businesses that have wellness programs show a lower cost in production,fewer sick days,and healthier employees.Our healthier employees will help to cut not only our production and absenteeism costs but also potential costs such as higher turnover because of low employee morale.

Implementing the Program

Implementing a good wellness program means making small changes to the work environment,starting with a series of information sessions.Simple changes to our work environment should include healthier food selections in vending machines and in the employee cafeteria.A smoke-free environment,inside and outside the building,could be a new company policy.An important step is to educate our employees through information seminars and provide health care guides and pamphlets for work and home.In addition,the human resources department could expand the current employee assistance program by developing online materials that help employees and their families to assess their individual health goals.

Each health program is different in its own way,and there are a number of programs that can be designed to meet the needs of our individual employees.Some programs that are becoming increasingly popular in the workplace are the following：

Health promotion programs

Subsidized health club membership

Return-to-work programs

Health-risk appraisals and screenings

Obstacles：Individual and Financial

The largest barrier in a wellness program is changing the habits and behaviors of our employees.Various incentives such as monetary bonuses,vacation days,merchandise rewards,recognition,and appreciation help to instill new habits and attitudes.Providing a healthy environment and including family in certain programs also help to encourage healthier choices and behaviors.

In the long run,the costs of incorporating a wellness program will be far less than rising costs associated with health care.An employee’s sense of recognition,appreciation,or accomplishment is an incentive that has relatively low or no costs.The owner of Natural Ovens Bakery,Paul Sitt,has stated that his company gained financially after providing programs including free healthy lunches for employees.Sitt said he believes that higher morale and keeping valuable employees have helped his business tremendously.

It is important that our company be healthy in every way possible.Research shows that 41% of businesses already have some type of wellness program in progress and that 32% will incorporate programs within the next year.Our company should always be ahead of our competitors.

I want to thank you for your time,and I look forward to discussing this proposal with you further next week.

备忘录

致：约翰·史密斯，人力资源高级总监

主题：提议增加一个健康计划

本备忘录的目的是为我们公司的员工提出一个健康计划。医疗保健费用正在上升。从长远来看，在我们公司实施健康计划将降低公司的医疗保健成本。研究表明，近70%的医疗保健费用来自高血压、超重和缺乏运动、高胆固醇、压力、营养不良和其他可预防的健康问题相关的常见疾病。医疗保健费用对于大多数企业来说是一项主要支出，它们并未反映因生产力下降或缺勤而产生的成本。一个健康计划将解决大部分（如果不是全部）这些医疗保健问题和相关成本。

员工更健康的好处

健康计划将大大降低与员工医疗保健相关的成本，此外，我们的公司将通过许多其他福利繁荣发展。拥有健康计划的企业显示出生产成本更低、病假更少、员工更健康。我们更健康的员工不仅有助于降低我们的生产和缺勤成本，还有助于降低潜在成本，例如由于员工士气低落而导致的离职率增加。

实施方案

实施良好的健康计划意味着对工作环境进行微小的改变。我们工作环境的简单改变应该包括在自动售货机和员工自助餐厅中选择更健康的食物。建筑物内外的无烟环境可能是一项新的公司政策。一个重要的步骤是通过信息研讨会对我们的员工进行教育，并为工作和家庭提供医疗保健指南和小册子。此外，人力资源部门可以通过开发在线材料来帮助员工及其家人评估他们的个人健康目标，从而扩展当前的员工援助计划。

每个健康计划都有自己的不同之处，并且有许多计划可以设计来满足我们个别员工的需求。一些在工作场所越来越受欢迎的程序如下：

健康促进计划

补贴的健身俱乐部会员资格

复工计划

健康风险评估和筛查

障碍：个人和财务

健康计划的最大障碍是改变我们员工的习惯和行为。奖金、假期、商品奖励、认可和欣赏等各种激励措施有助于灌输新的习惯和态度。提供健康的环境并让家人参与某些计划也有助于鼓励更健康的选择和行为。

从长远来看，纳入健康计划的成本将远低于与医疗保健相关的成本上升。员工的认可、欣赏或成就感是一种成本相对较低或没有成本的激励措施。天然烤箱面包店的老板保罗·西特表示，他的公司在为员工提供包括免费健康午餐在内的计划后获得了经济利益。西特说他相信更高的士气和留住有价值的员工对他的业务有很大帮助。

重要的是我们的公司要以各种可能的方式保持健康。研究表明，41%的企业已经制定了某种类型的健康计划，32%的企业将在明年纳入计划。我们公司应该永远领先于我们的竞争对手。（总结观点，相反）。

我要感谢你抽出时间，我期待着下周与你进一步讨论这个提议。（表达感谢以及进一步探讨这篇建议书的意志。）
