The owner of a small business wants to improve the health of all employees. Which actions should the owner consider to meet this goal?
1. Drop health insurance for employees.
2. Provide on-site health care for employees.
3. Mandate that all vacation days are taken each year.
4. Reduce the number of sick days offered as a benefit.
Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. Employers have come to better appreciate that healthy employees are more productive and that it is in the employer's interest to promote and maintain employee health. One way that some companies have chosen to decrease health-related costs is to provide on-site health care for employees. Dropping health insurance, mandating that vacation days be taken, and reducing the number of sick days will not help to improve the health of all employees.
