Why is Wellness So Important?

There is a great deal of research on Health and Mental Health in Canadians in general and in Canadian workplaces. Stress as a reason for absence from work has increased 316 percent since 1995 and it is at the root of 70 to 90% of visits to the doctor.

A recent study from Statistics Canada reported that:

• About 500,000 Canadians are absent every week due to mental health or illness.
• Since 2012, depression has increased by more than 60 percent and anxiety has doubled.
• Between absenteeism, which is when employees call in sick, and presenteeism, which is when employees show up to work but aren’t performing at the level they would normally be at, the overall cost to the Canadian economy is $50 billion annually.

There are now many studies that demonstrate that an effective wellness program can SAVE you money.

• Health Canada has reported an expected 340% ROI when implementing the right wellness programs.
• Health Affairs in a broad study showed a 610% return.
• And while most organizations report about a 300% ROI, some have reported as high as 1100%.

We are immersed in a sea of busy-ness, distraction and chronic illness. Stress and worries stretch our human nervous systems beyond what they are meant to handle. And we end up disconnected from our brilliant inner spark that carries meaning and purpose.

Sound is literally food for your nervous system. Our ancestors knew this. And modern science has confirmed the positive effects of therapeutic sound on the nervous system – and every other part of you. Because we are all so deeply wired to respond to sound and music, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, Sound Wellness is a powerful strategy to effectively manage stress, to reclaim the thinking brain, and to reconnect with inner strength and purpose.
