SAN DIEGO, June 27, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fresh Healthy Vending announces it has pledged support for National Employee Wellness Month. The month-long initiative helps business leaders learn from best practices of how companies are developing successful strategies around prevention and good health, in an effort to engage employees in healthy eating and exercise, which will in turn help to reduce healthcare costs.
Fresh Healthy Vending is targeting offices for its new and exclusive Fresh Healthy Vending Café, the world's only vending machine that offers both specialty organic coffee drinks, along with an assortment of healthy snacks.
Excessive healthcare costs are a concern for every company, as costs continue to rise more than 10 percent annually, with no relief in sight. Employees are also feeling the strain, paying more out of pocket for higher premiums. Forward-thinking companies are taking action to control rising healthcare costs by focusing on prevention as a proven strategy to counter the trend.
"Offering employees options such as the Fresh Healthy Vending Café have become a must for small and medium size companies with 100 or more employees," said Dan Negroni, CEO of Fresh Healthy Vending. "We are in the process of launching a nationwide campaign to educate companies across the U.S. on why healthy eating in the workplace can play a powerful role in helping employees make healthier eating choices, resulting in a positive impact on costly lifestyle-related diseases."
Offering healthier options, such as those found in our Fresh Healthy Vending Café, is proven to lower health insurance premiums for business owners, increase productivity amongst employees, as the healthy products in the machine are not filled with unhealthy sugars, such as those found in energy drinks and soda. This new healthy vending café also decreases the chances of employee absenteeism, as the machine offers nine selections of café quality organic coffee, conveniently meaning business owners don't have to worry about employees running to Starbucks or their local barista in the hope of finding a quality gourmet coffee.
"It's a win-win for business owners which ever way they look at it," added Negroni.
Fresh Healthy Vending is quickly becoming the business of choice for socially responsible entrepreneurs that want to be a catalyst for change in their community. Offering profitable solutions to obvious problems has been the basis for the company's success as it continues leading the way as the nation's largest and most successful healthy vending company.
