“It is an absolute privilege to recommend Chere Bork as both a speaker and a coach. As her coach and colleague for years, I got to know Chere very well. Simply put, she is one of the finest people I have ever met. Her energy, passion and optimism are contagious; she innately inspires everyone around her to be their best. She is a loving mother and wife, a consummate friend and a phenomenal motivational speaker and personal coach. If you want your audience to be inspired, energized and ready to “take action,’” you can do no better than hire Chere.

Workplace Wellness
• As Americans we spend half our waking life at work.
More than any other area of your life, our workplace influences our health.
Generally people do not take care of themselves and their unhealthy habits place a huge burden of increased costs of health insurance, absenteeism, and turnover.
• The U.S. Centers for Disease Control estimates that 70% of the costs of health care can be prevented with diet, physical activity and lifestyle choices, like not smoking.
• There are 40 million Americans with pre-diabetes with diabetes “waiting to happen.”
In Minnesota alone every 20 minutes an adult is diagnosed with diabetes! Expensive!!!
• Lifestyle interventions like diet and exercise are the least expensive and most effective method to treat chronic disease and save money for both the employee and employer.
Health risks are costing you money!
Studies suggest that the average employee has 1 to 3 health risks.
One health risk costs $500.00 to $1,500 per year*
Health Risks High Risk Criteria
1. Alcohol More than 14 drinks per week
2. Blood pressure Systolic > 139 or Diastolic > 89 mm HG
3. Body weight BMI > 27.5
4. Cholesterol Greater than 239 mg/ dl
5. Existing medical problem Heart, cancer, diabetes, stroke
6. HDL Less than 35 mg / dl

10. Physical activity less than one time / week

Preventing low risk employees from adding risks is also a key to controlling costs.
