The owner of Hanson Manufacturing is considering the idea of establishing a smoke-free workplace and instigating an incentive plan to encourage employees to quit smoking. According to CDC research, Hanson Manufacturing will gain approximately ________ in productivity from each smoker who quits the habit

Answer 1

Answer:

$2000

Explanation:

According to CDC research, each employee who smokes costs his or her organization approximately $2000 per year due to reasons such as;

• Smoke breaks at work which accumulate to reduce the amount of time spent doing productive work.

• Health related issues resulting from smoking that may cost the organization money or cause the employee to be absent from work (research shows that smokers are absent from work more than non smokers.

Therefore, for each smoker who quits smoking, Hanson Manufacturing will gain approximately $2000 in productivity.
