Total Nutrition Technology (TNT), a company specializing in helping people lose weight, manage their health and enhance their sports performance, is helping Charlotte area companies improve the health of their workforce and decrease their health care costs through their on-site TNT Corporate Wellness program. Total Nutrition Technology is also an in-network provider with Blue Cross and Blue Shield and works with policyholders to provide comprehensive nutrition and wellness services for improved health.

Companies that have implemented a comprehensive corporate wellness program have seen substantial savings in health care costs for the company, as much as 20 percent or $2,000 less per employee, according to the 2010 Towers Watson Health Care Cost Survey. In addition to health care cost savings, improved health within a workforce increases productivity, reduces absenteeism due to illness, helps employees better manage their stress and offers employees an appealing benefit program.

“Our TNT Corporate Wellness program offers companies a complete turn-key program that can be implemented within the workforce as part of their Blue Cross and Blue Shield health care benefits package or within a designated budget,” said Angela Wilkinson, president of Total Nutrition Technology. “Our team of registered dietitians and health educators is able to offer employees health assessments, customized nutrition plans and program accountability to help employees reach their health goals. The convenience of offering our Corporate Wellness program on-site and our ability to track participant progress differentiates us from others and has proven to increase the number of employees who take advantage of this benefit, which benefits the company as a whole.”

“The company’s we’re working with often see a difference in cost savings and employee health within 6 – 9 months if they have only 10 percent of their employees actively participating in the program,” said Wilkinson.

The TNT Corporate Wellness program can include group nutrition and skill building workshops, one-on-one consultations with employees, custom nutrition plans, metabolic testing, online workshops and coaching for remote employees, motivating contests, smoking cessation, stress management coaching and health fairs. TNT’s ability to track and show metrics is also important for company’s wanting to see improvements in employee health and wellness, as well as for the participant to measure their progress.

Through this program, Total Nutrition Technology can also help Blue Cross and Blue Shield policyholders taking part in the Healthy Outcomes Wellness Program earn the points they need to qualify for rewards.
