When Employee Health Declines,
So Does Your Bottom Line
Most companies overlook the warning signs. Your premiums rise, your best people burn out, and productivity quietly bleeds away. There’s a better path forward—and it starts with prevention, not reaction.
We can help, and we can show you how it literally pays you to fix this problem and improve the lives of your employees and company.
The Health Crisis Isn't Coming. It's Here.
And It's Already On Your Balance Sheet.
What Most Companies Miss
Once you understand who you are as a company, the path forward is never unclear again.
Are you a company that reacts to crises, or prevents them?
Are you a place where people survive, or where they thrive?
Are you protecting your bottom line for this quarter, or building a sustainable future?
The companies that will lead in the next decade aren't the ones with the best perks or the flashiest offices. They're the ones who decided their people's health matters—and backed it up with real investment.
When you invest in employee health, you're not just buying a wellness program. You're declaring who you are:
A company that sees people as assets worth protecting, not line items to replace
A leader that prevents problems instead of scrambling to react
An organization built for longevity, not just quarterly gains.
The choice you make about employee health is the choice you make about your company's identity.
The Investment That Pays for Itself
Here's what makes this decision even clearer: UPG doesn't just reduce your costs—it can actually generate a net gain for your company.
Because employee wellness programs are typically treated as deductible business expenses, companies often recover 21–37% of their investment through reduced taxable income—depending on their corporate tax rate.
Retention ROI: The real financial breakthrough comes from retention. Consider this:
Replacing an employee costs 50-200% of their annual salary (averaging 100% for most positions)
This includes recruiting costs, training, lost productivity, and institutional knowledge
If you're paying an employee $60,000/year, replacing them costs approximately $60,000
Retain just 3-5 employees who would have otherwise left, and UPG has completely paid for itself plus any tax benefits
The Math That Matters: For many companies, the combined savings from reduced turnover, lower healthcare costs, and productivity gains more than offset the program’s investment—often generating a positive net return.
But here's what no spreadsheet can capture: Your employees' quality of life transforms. They're present for their families. They have energy for their passions. They're not living weekend to weekend, exhausted and depleted. And they know their company made that possible.
Right now, health-related productivity losses are quietly growing inside most organizations.
Without intervention, a predictable cycle begins…
Employer healthcare costs are climbing roughly 6–10% annually
Absenteeism quietly drains productivity—costing an estimated $1,600+ per employee, per year.
Your high performers burn out trying to cover for absent teammates
You replace good people at 50-200% of their salary
New hires step into the same conditions, and the cycle continues.
This isn't just about a few employees calling in sick.
When employee health trends down, everything else trends up: costs, turnover, operational disruptions, and the burden on those still standing. A few absent people don't just create gaps—they create system failures.
As more employees struggle with preventable health challenges, the ripple effect impacts every part of the business — operations, morale, and performance. Ten unhealthy employees disrupt operations.
A workforce trending toward chronic stress, fatigue, and preventable health risks—like hypertension, elevated cholesterol, poor sleep, and inactivity—faces mounting hidden costs that quietly erode performance and morale.
That's not just ROI. That's legacy.

From Crisis to Prevention in 3 Clear Steps
Step 1: Clarify Your Current Reality
We start with a consultation to understand your workforce, goals, and potential risk factors.
Together, we’ll explore where health challenges may already be impacting productivity, morale, and retention.
You’ll walk away with a clearer picture of where prevention could make the biggest difference—and what a realistic starting point looks like for your team.
Step 2: Your Employees Get One-on-One Coaching
Real accountability. Real support. Real results.
Each participating employee is matched with an experienced coach who:
Builds a personalized fitness and nutrition plan around their life
Provides weekly check-ins and one-on-one guidance
Adjusts strategies based on progress and obstacles
Supports them through the UPG+ app for seamless tracking and communication
This isn’t another “download and forget” app. This is a human being who knows their name, their goals, and their barriers—and helps them break through.
Step 3: Watch Your Company Transform
We collaborate with your HR team to track participation, engagement, and outcomes over time.
Our team manages the coaching process and reporting; your team helps us stay aligned on company updates—such as new hires, role changes, or open enrollment periods.
Each quarter, we provide insights into participation trends, engagement levels, and measurable progress—so you can see how prevention is taking hold across your organization.
Streamlined enrollment and communication support
Regular progress summaries for leadership visibility
Ongoing optimization based on feedback and participation data
And, as a bonus—program investments are typically 100% tax-deductible as a business expense.
