## What this page said

The page opened with the claim that job stress costs employers more than $200 billion a year in absenteeism, poor performance, lateness and workers' compensation claims, and repeated the institute's figures that over half of adults report high daily stress and 60 to 90 percent of health care visits involve stress-related complaints.

The Center for Corporate Health offered lunch-time talks, day-long workshops or a series of wellness courses tailored to the employer, mixing lecture with experiential learning, and named a Boston financial firm as a past client. A companion page listed benefits it hoped for, including improved productivity, morale and creativity and lower absenteeism, and described its core topics, beginning with stress management through the relaxation response. Figures are the institute's own claims.
