We have a long-term perspective. Dee Edington projected that it takes 13 years to achieve a positive ROI on wellness initiatives. Our average tenure is 8.5 years, so we have a lot of employees with >13 years of service -- 78 people or 29% of our staff. We also provide health insurance to our retirees and have 30 of our 59 retirees on our plan.
