EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT PROGRAM TO LESSEN THE BURDEN OF INCREASED HEALTH CARE COSTS

Thousand Oaks, CA -- August 23, 2007 -- ThinkVitaminsOnline.com, a national leading provider of health and wellness products, announces an enhancement to employer benefits/awards programs. All employees of participating organizations receive a free membership ($20 value) providing a 15% discount on over 4000 wellness products from 150 leading brand manufacturers.

As more of the health care costs are being passed onto employees, individuals need to be more proactive in maintaining their health.  Just last week, Blue Cross announced another reduction in benefit coverage, placing higher costs for health care benefits squarely on the consumers. Currently, benefit plans do not cover over-the-counter vitamin and wellness products. Consequently, employee wellness programs are receiving increasing attention.

“In addition to reducing demand for medical services, wellness programs provide economic benefit by reducing absenteeism, reducing on-the-job injuries and workers' compensation costs, and reducing disability-management costs” says Paul Doyle, President of ThinkVitaminsOnline.com .  “Combining exercise, a balanced diet, and appropriate supplementation of wellness products reduces the incidence of health-related absences”, he said. “And since we offer over 150 different US brands (no private labels), the issue of implied endorsement by employers is eliminated”.

Wellness programs also help to recruit and retain the most effective, productive employees. Studies show a correlation between employees who seek out corporate wellness programs and the most productive workers. Morale is another benefit of a wellness program. These programs are inexpensive ways to show employees the organization is interested in them as total persons.

“At a time of reduced job security, wellness programs provide a spark of good will and foster the all-important message of self-responsibility”, Doyle said.
