As an employer, you're always looking for ways to improve your bottom line. But what if you were told that offering pet benefits to your employees could actually help you save money and increase productivity in the long run? It may seem counterintuitive, but the research is clear: investing in your employees' pets can pay off in a big way.
According to a study by the International Journal of Workplace Health Management, employees who brought their dogs to work experienced lower stress levels throughout the day, leading to a reduction in stress by the end of the day. This can lead to fewer sick days and higher levels of employee engagement and productivity.
But pet benefits can also have a direct impact on your healthcare costs. Pet owners tend to visit the doctor less frequently and have lower healthcare costs overall, according to a study by the Human Animal Bond Research Institute. This is likely due to the physical and emotional benefits of pet ownership, including reduced stress levels and increased physical activity.
This is where Wagmo Wellness comes in. By offering a comprehensive pet wellness plan, you can help your employees save money on routine pet healthcare costs, including wellness visits, vaccines, blood work, and more. And because Wagmo Wellness is 100% guaranteed issue with no underwriting or network requirements, all employees can enroll, regardless of their pet's age, breed, or health status.
But the benefits of Wagmo Wellness go beyond just saving money on healthcare costs. By promoting preventative care for pets, you can help reduce the likelihood of costly and time-consuming emergency vet visits. And because the program offers 24/7 telehealth consultations through Wagmo's own VETalk, employees can access expert veterinary advice whenever they need it, without having to take time off work or leave their home.
Plus, by offering Wagmo Wellness as an employee benefit, you're showing your team that you care about their pets and their overall well-being. This can lead to increased loyalty and job satisfaction, which can ultimately translate into higher levels of employee engagement and productivity.
So, what's the ROI of offering pet benefits like Wagmo Wellness? While it's difficult to put an exact dollar figure on it, the benefits are clear. By investing in your employees' pets, you can help reduce healthcare costs, increase productivity, and boost employee morale and loyalty. And when you consider the simplicity and inclusivity of the Wagmo Wellness program, with no underwriting or network requirements, it's an easy decision to make.
In conclusion, offering pet benefits like Wagmo Wellness can be a win-win for both you and your employees. Not only does it help save money on healthcare costs, but it can also lead to higher levels of employee engagement and productivity. So why not consider offering pet benefits as a way to invest in your team's well-being?
