In today's fast-paced and demanding work environment, it's more important than ever for HR Benefits teams to offer employees comprehensive, top-of-the-line health and wellness benefits. By fostering a culture that promotes physical and mental well-being, businesses can create a welcoming, healthy workplace where employees have the opportunity to truly thrive.

In this article, we'll explore the reasons why employee health and wellness should be at the forefront of every organization's agenda and how adding Zerigo Health to your benefits package can help with this goal, especially for employees dealing with psoriasis and eczema.

Benefits of Prioritizing Employee Health and Wellness

A healthy workforce is a key component of a thriving business. Employees who are given the necessary tools to prioritize their health are more focused, motivated, and efficient in their work

Providing resources for maintaining physical and mental health not only benefits the individual employee but also contributes to the overall success of the organization. Employees who are well supported are less prone to illnesses and are better equipped to manage and prevent flare-ups of chronic conditions, making your entire team healthier and happier.

When organizations focus on intently prioritizing the health and wellness of their employees, they reap numerous benefits that extend far beyond the individual employee. Reduced absenteeism rates, increased productivity, and cost savings associated with lost working hours and temporary replacements are just a few examples.

How Chronic Skin Conditions Affect Workplace Wellbeing

For millions of people, chronic skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema can have a profound impact on their quality of life. These conditions can cause physical discomfort, emotional distress, and even social isolation, making it difficult for individuals to function at their best both at home and in the workplace.

Living with chronic skin conditions can be challenging, and it can have a significant impact on your employees' work performance. According to a study conducted by the National Psoriasis Foundation, 88% of psoriasis patients reported that their condition affected their emotional well-being, and 49% reported missing work altogether due to their symptoms.1 It is essential that employers recognize and address the impact of these conditions to help ensure and promote the good health, success, and overall productivity of their teams.

Zerigo Health's Handheld UVB Smart Light Therapy Device

Zerigo Health's handheld UVB smart light therapy device is a game-changer for employees dealing with psoriasis or eczema. As a next-gen device, Zerigo Health offers personalized, convenient, and highly effective treatment options that go beyond traditional approaches.

What really sets Zerigo Health apart from other options is its holistic treatment experience. Many phototherapy patients find it difficult to keep up their treatment regularly, which can hinder their skin condition from improving. The device's integrated connectivity and reporting features allow users to track their progress and gather valuable data that is then used to constantly optimize their treatment. Plus, the app and ZerigoCareTM Guides offer additional resources, reminders, and personalized guidance to every user.

Because Zerigo Health’s device is handheld, patients also don’t need to book time to drive to a phototherapy clinic. Instead, they can conduct their session on their own terms, in the comfort of their own home. Zerigo Health empowers your employees to take control of their condition.

How Zerigo Health Supports Your Employee’s Health and Wellness

If your employees experience flare-ups of psoriasis or eczema, managing their symptoms can be time-consuming and stressful. That's where Zerigo Health comes in. By effectively managing their condition, employees can reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups, potentially leading to a decrease in sick leave. This reduction in sick leave may not only improve employee well-being, but it may also minimize productivity disruptions and associated costs for the company by bringing the 49% that miss work1 regularly back into the office!

With over $20 billion annually spent on specialty drugs for eczema and psoriasis, a figure that continues to grow by more than 20% each year2, it's crucial to invest in comprehensive and reliable solutions like Zerigo Health. Our innovative approach combines cutting-edge therapies, personalized treatment plans, and ongoing support to help your employees regain control over their skin health. By addressing the root causes of these conditions, we empower individuals to live their lives to the fullest, both at work and beyond.

Zerigo Health's device is also a convenient solution for busy, always on-the-go employees. Rather than spending hours traveling to and from doctors' offices or clinics, employees can conveniently (and comfortably!) administer their UVB light therapy at home under the expert guidance of a remote ZerigoCare Guide. This flexible and time-saving benefit can translate into improved mental wellbeing, addressing the significant impact that chronic skin conditions has on the 88% of individuals that reported their condition negatively affecting their mental health1. By providing a hassle-free and accessible treatment option, Zerigo Health empowers employees to prioritize their mental health and experience the positive effects of UVB light therapy in the comfort of their own homes.
