Free Corporate Weight Loss Website

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has developed a free online corporate wellness and weight loss website called LEANWorks!. It is geared for small to mid-sized companies looking for more information and techniques to combat obesity in the workplace.

Here is just a short list quoting the site’s benefits:

* An obesity cost-calculator where employers can input employee demographic data to estimate the total costs associated with obesity and determine annual obesity-related medical costs for their companies.

* Information and resources to help employers plan, build, promote, and assess interventions to combat obesity.

* Information on how employers can estimate return on investment, a measure of the cost of an intervention compared to the expected financial return of the intervention.
