1. What is the City's Wellness Program

The City of Concord, in partnership with our health insurance carriers, is pleased to offer to their employees and retirees, unique opportunities to improve their overall health and assist in creating healthier lifestyles. Research has clearly shown that promoting health and fitness at the workplace and at home helps employees reduce the rate of premium increases and related health insurance costs, improve overall participant health, reduce stress levels, and become wiser health care consumers. The potential value of wellness programs to employers is just as impressive, with results such as reduced absenteeism, lower healthcare costs, improved employee morale, reduced employee turnover, better customer service, and enhanced employee recruitment. It is a win-win situation for everyone and it is fun!
