Why Recognize Texas' Healthiest Workplaces?
Unhealthy has become the new normal, and as a result, our state is in a health crisis. In Texas, 35.5% of adults are classified as having obesity while another 34.7% are overweight in 2022. This negatively impacts healthcare spending and has a detrimental effect on workforce participation and productivity. Collectively, Texas employers lose $4.1 billion annually in health-related absenteeism and disability. Additionally, Texas employers paid an extra $4.9 billion in higher medical expenditures for health complications.
By recognizing and supporting healthier workplaces, we can:
Reduce health-related absenteeism and disability
Lower healthcare costs
Enhance workforce participation and productivity
Improve the overall well-being of Texans
