These are the people that help your business run as it should, meaning that they have a significant importance when it comes to maintaining your day-to-day operations as well as ensuring your overall success. Because we know you care so deeply about your people, we wanted to delve into why you should invest in the health of your employees by providing **Direct Primary Care (DPC) health insurance**. Keep reading to learn all of these interesting reasons. # **Reasons You Should Invest in your Employee's Health** ### **It means fewer sick days** Giving your employees the preventative health care as well as the care when they are sick means fewer sick days that your office will have to pay for throughout each year. In the U.S. workforce illness costs a whopping **$576 billion** annually, for leave ranging from sick days to workers compensation. This is a staggering number and you do not want employee absenteeism to have an adverse effect on the profitability of your business. The more available health care is to your employees, the less likely they are to need an abundance of sick days throughout the year. **It’s as simple as that!** ![](https://blog.scoophealth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/sick-days.jpg?width=287&height=280&name=sick-days.jpg) ### **It means more productivity** More productive employees means a more profitable business, which means good things for executives and company owners. This uptick in productivity will come from healthier employees that have the energy to work efficiently. **Forbes** cites a phenomenon called presenteeism as a cause of a lack of employee productivity. This refers to when employees report to work but illness keeps them from performing at their best. Having the freedom to receive medical attention in these cases will help employees to recover quicker, feel better, and to crank through more work. When they're receiving regular health care that helps them physically or mentally, it will make for more sharp and agile work that will do nothing but benefit your business. ### **It means loyal employees** Encouraging your employees to become loyal to your company means that your recruiting and hiring costs could be lowered. After all, the goal of almost every business owner is to retain happy and healthy employees that are satisfied with their job. Loyal employees are more likely to work harder to help your business meet its goals and comply with its mission overall. ![](https://blog.scoophealth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/loyal-employees.jpg?width=624&height=408&name=loyal-employees.jpg) Offering **Direct Primary Care (DPC)** healthcare to your employees is a great way to should your employees that you are invested in their personal health and wellness.
