What’s the #1 health service most corporate wellness programs overlook?
Sleep screening.
Despite the fact that sleep apnea affects nearly 1 in 4 working adults, it’s still missing from most employee health benefits plans. And when it goes undetected, it costs businesses—a lot.
Why should you care about sleep apnea screening?
Because poor sleep doesn’t just affect how your team feels.
It impacts how they perform.
Untreated sleep apnea is directly linked to:
- Daytime fatigue and poor concentration
- Higher risks of workplace accidents
- Increased absenteeism and presenteeism
- Chronic health conditions like diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and depression
- Rising costs in extended health benefits and insurance claims
And yet… it’s completely screenable, diagnosable, and treatable.
How does sleep screening fit into a proactive wellness strategy?
Most corporate health programs already promote:
- Annual physicals
- Mental health support
- Nutrition and fitness coaching
But without sleep health support, those benefits only go so far.
Adding sleep apnea screening for employees gives your workforce the chance to:
- Understand their risk factors
- Access diagnostic testing (at home!)
- Receive expert treatment and ongoing support
And your organization benefits through:
- Improved productivity and engagement
- Reduced health-related absences
- Long-term cost savings on chronic illness claims
- Better retention and workplace morale
What kind of ROI can companies expect from a sleep health program?
Studies show that treating sleep apnea can:
- Improve productivity by up to 20%
- Decrease workplace accidents by 70%
- Reduce overall healthcare costs by an average of $3,000–$6,000 per employee per year
When you implement a workforce-wide sleep health initiative, those savings scale fast.
- Better sleep = better business.
