Virtual Corporate Wellness Program, Uptick: Program Overview

Three Months to Better Health and Performance

​Over the past few years, our world has become more hybrid than ever. So many of us are no longer commuting to work, interacting among one another at the work place in person and returning to the comfort of our homes. While hybrid work offers flexibility, it also introduces challenges that can negatively affect overall wellbeing. Consider us as your corner crew in a championship fight. In this fight, there is no belt to win. There is additional life to win and additional life that is condition free. While we knowingly perform work for our employers, we simultaneously and perhaps unknowingly are neglecting our own personal wellness. This neglect increases our risk to health issues across the board. There are a variety of solutions to mitigate such risks and reverse the curve.

Over the past decade, SAAF has delivered corporate wellness programs for a handful of publicaly traded companies (Mcdonalds, Coca Cola, Volkswagen, Isuzu, Honda, I Am Gold) with very strong and lasting results for the participants and the company as a whole. SAAF has retrofitted these programs into the environment of the remote workforce. If your remote workers have enough space to take Three Steps in each direction, they are well positioned to get outstanding results. With over 4,000 graduates, SAAF is ready willing and able to improve the quality of life for your remote workers and increase the overall productivity of your workforce.

Approach

We understand what is at stake over the long term for you (the remote worker) and for you (the company). The remote worker by default of being homebound, is less active and more likely to gain weight and increase the risk of impactful health conditions. The company is at risk of the workforce being less productive, attentive, cohesive and present due to increased sick days needed. All of the above affects the production level bottom line, profits and share value.

​We address these risks at their root by creating sustainable changes within the daily lifestyle of your workforce, seamlessly integrated into their remote environment. Our coaching team meets employees where they are, ensuring that no one is left behind and that the entire team succeeds together. Comprised of a consortium of health professionals — including doctors, nurses, physical therapists, master trainers, dietitians, nutritionists, and psychologists — we serve as your corner team in a championship fight. Here, the victory isn’t a belt; it’s better health, greater vitality, and a life free from preventable conditions. There is more life to gain, and more health to enjoy.

​Our goal is to bring out the very best in your workforce and celebrate their journey to better health.
And for the company, the goal is to improve overall productivity, which translates into increased share value.

“SAAF CAMP is a valued stakeholder in saving lives in Suriname and we hope to share these NCD prevention methods with the world …” – Winston Lackin, Minister Of Foreign Affairs, Suriname

“We are both blessed and lucky to have this program.
Bless you Keith for all that you have done for us. Continue in your efforts to heal the world …”
– Linda C. (see written and video testimonials in our guestbook here)

Why It Matters (NCD Impact + Corporate ROI)

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) — including heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and hypertension — are silently eroding workforce productivity. Globally, NCDs contribute to:

• Lost workdays and presenteeism – employees struggle to perform at full capacity
• Rising healthcare costs – companies face higher insurance premiums and medical claims
• Reduced employee engagement – poor health impacts morale and retention

Corporate Uptick addresses these challenges head-on. Our clinically guided, virtual program equips employees
with the tools, knowledge, and ongoing support to:

• Improve cardiovascular and metabolic health
• Adopt sustainable fitness and nutrition habits
• Reduce stress and enhance resilience
• Strengthen overall wellbeing for higher productivity

For consultants and corporate leaders, this means measurable ROI: fewer sick days, improved morale, enhanced team cohesion, and long-term cost savings — all documented and trackable.

Corporate wellness isn’t just a perk; it’s a strategic investment in the health, efficiency, and culture of your organization.

Program Deliverables & Pricing
Corporate Uptick is an immersive, three-month wellness initiative designed to transform employee health and deliver lasting results. Participants receive over 80 hours of guided care across training, counseling, education, and family engagement, ensuring comprehensive impact for every individual. Compared to Corporate Tune Up, Uptick offers deeper engagement, expanded biometric tracking, and a broader mix of workshops and coaching to drive long-term, sustainable outcomes.

Program Components

• Entry & Exit Interviews – Onboarding assessment and closing consultation to measure progress and set sustainable next steps.
• Healthy Lifestyle Counseling (x3) – 30-minute one-on-one sessions with licensed professionals to address nutrition, stress, and lifestyle behaviors.
• Group Training Sessions (x36) – Expert-led physical training to improve strength, endurance, and overall fitness.
• Personal Tracking Tools – Data journal, photo journal, measurement journal, blood work journal, and weight charting (x36 entries).
• Measurements & Biometrics – Waist, arm, thigh, and chest measurements (x3 checkpoints), cholesterol tests (x3), and blood sugar tests (x3).
• Healthy Cooking Workshops (x3) – Hands-on nutrition guidance with master chefs.
• Health Education Workshops (x3) – Sessions led by certified health professionals covering key wellness topics.
• Uniforms (x2) – Shipped directly to your organization for participant use.
• Family Days (x2) – One at program onset and one at completion, integrating employees’ families into the wellness journey.
• Graduation & Recognition – Formal recognition with certificates sent electronically to participants who complete the program.

Program Duration
Three active months with an additional month for application and review.

Pricing per Participant

• Up to 100 participants: $3,000 per employee
• 500–1,000 participants: $2,700 per employee
  Equivalent to less than $40/hour per participant, covering services from our team of certified health professionals. As a registered 501(c)(3), certain costs may be tax-deductible.
  ** According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and Gallup, absenteeism costs U.S. employers roughly $3,600/year per hourly worker and $2,650/year per salaried employee. The CDC Workplace Health Resource Center estimates productivity losses from absenteeism cost $1,685 per employee per year on average. When you add presenteeism (working while sick/unwell), global estimates climb to $2,000–$5,000+ per employee annually.
  
  ** At less than $40/hour — or about $2,500 per employee for the entire 3-month program — Uptick costs less than the average annual loss from absenteeism and presenteeism, which ranges between $2,000–$5,000 per employee depending on the industry. In other words, one successful participant can offset their full program cost by simply reducing a few days of absence or working more effectively.

Corporate Uptick Benefits I – People & Culture

Morale, Positivity, and Enthusiasm – Corporate Uptick elevates workplace mood and energy, creating an environment where employees feel valued and supported. Through health screenings, milestone celebrations, and team-building activities, the program fosters positivity, security, and appreciation across your workforce.
Employee Engagement – Engaged employees thrive in stimulating and supportive environments. Uptick strikes the perfect balance—challenging participants without overwhelming them—so employees stay motivated, fulfilled, and connected to their work and colleagues.

Uptick incorporates de-stress techniques, lifestyle coaching, and structured routines to reduce anxiety, improve resilience, and promote mental clarity. Employees gain healthier habits that support both personal and professional growth.
Enhanced Problem-Solving & Creativity – Well-being fuels cognitive performance. Aerobic activity, structured movement, and balanced health practices enhance focus, creativity, and decision-making. Uptick empowers employees to think sharper, innovate faster, and solve problems more effectively.

Corporate Uptick Benefits II – Performance & Business Impact

Reduction of sick days and healthcare costs
For every dollar spent on employee wellness, absenteeism drops by $2.73 and medical costs fall by $3.27 — a proven 6-to-1 return. Uptick’s screenings, health coaching, and structured activity reduce absenteeism, burnout, and stress, lowering healthcare costs while boosting productivity. Reference: Here

Significant reduction in chronic disease risk
While the pandemic highlighted acute illness, chronic diseases (NCDs) remain the silent killer — claiming 40 million lives annually. Uptick directly addresses risk factors for diabetes, hypertension, and other NCDs with biometric screenings, nutrition guidance, and sustained lifestyle changes.

Attraction and retention of top talent
Wellness-rich workplaces are magnets for top performers. Publicly visible wellness initiatives, like Uptick, improve employer brand and strengthen retention. Employees who feel valued and cared for rarely leave.

Lower employee turnover
Turnover is driven less by pay and more by trust, empathy, and workplace culture. Uptick builds those bonds — from healthy food initiatives to inclusive family days. A strong culture of care translates into loyalty and stability.

Strengthening psychological safety and social bonds
By design, Uptick fosters meaningful connections among employees. Shared health goals and group activities build community, improve morale, and enhance psychological safety, which directly fuels engagement and creativity.

The “Uptick Effect” on equity shares
The program’s name reflects its potential impact not only on health but also on shareholder value. A healthier, more efficient workforce drives measurable gains in productivity and cost savings. For publicly traded companies, this translates into stronger financial performance and the potential to uptick equity share value through improved operational efficiency and reduced healthcare spend.

Virtual Corporate Wellness Program, Uptick: Conclusion

The Power of Corporate Wellness: Boosting Stock and Employee Well-being

Corporate wellness programs are no longer optional perks — they are strategic investments that drive long-term success for both organizations and their people. By prioritizing health, companies see measurable improvements in productivity, reduced absenteeism, stronger retention, and enhanced morale. These outcomes not only strengthen the workplace but also flow directly to the bottom line, contributing to profitability and even share value.

Studies consistently show that companies with robust wellness programs experience a measurable uptick in shareholder value:

• Johnson & Johnson: Reported saving over $250 million in health care costs through comprehensive wellness initiatives, boosting profit margins and supporting stock performance.
• Aetna: Wellness offerings, including mindfulness and physical health programs, delivered $9 million in productivity gains and aligned with a steady increase in stock value.
• Google: Renowned for its wellness culture, Google has leveraged employee well-being as a driver of talent attraction, engagement, and long-term market growth.

Corporate Uptick is designed with these same principles in mind — a comprehensive wellness model that improves health outcomes, strengthens workplace culture, and enhances overall business performance. When employees thrive, organizations thrive — in productivity, culture, and shareholder value. And for publicly traded organizations, that thriving can translate into a tangible uptick in equity share value.

With Corporate Uptick, your organization doesn’t just follow a program — it experiences a transformative journey that elevates employee health, strengthens culture, and delivers measurable results every step of the way, driving productivity, morale, and shareholder value.”
