Richard Yadon, CPC, CERS President & CEO   According to the United States Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (http://www.ahrq.gov/), "all US adults could be overweight in 40 years".  This is a stunning prediction and has severe consequences that will impact worker productivity.  It will also be an issue that both employers and employees will have to address.   I feel that proactive employers will continue to provide or upgrade their incentive programs for workers who maintain healthy bodyweight and refrain from engaging in unhealthy activities, e.g., smoking. As other recent studies have proven, wellness programs work.   Do you need assistance in motivating employees or creating incentive programs to increase retention?    Let’s talk about your needs and perhaps we can offer some ways to create more productive and engaged employees.     Richard Yadon, CPC, CERS President/CEO Health Career Professionals, LLC Franklin, TN 37067 Work: 866-371-0687 ext.110 Fax: 866-787-7458       Our address:   Health Career Professionals, LLC 725 Cool Springs Blvd Suite 600 Franklin, TN 37067 Send Us Your Open Positions  Email Us: info@healthcareerprofessionals.com Visit us at www.HealthCareerProfessionals.com
