J Douglas Williams YMCA Launches “Partners in Health” Membership Program for Local Businesses

Strengthening Our Community Together: Because Good Health Makes Good Business Sense

Lake Mary, FL — The J Douglas Williams YMCA is proud to announce its Partners in Health corporate membership program, designed to help businesses invest in employee health, enhance workplace culture, and build a stronger, more connected community.

In today’s fast-paced environment, the well-being of employees directly impacts the success of a business. A healthy workforce is a productive one, with fewer absences, greater morale, and fewer work-related incidents. Research supports the impact:

• 91% of employees feel more motivated to do their best work when their employer prioritizes well-being (American Psychological Association, 2017).
   

• Companies with strong cultures of health experience an 11% lower turnover rate (Mercer, 2017).
   

• 87% of job seekers consider health and wellness offerings when choosing a job (Zippia, 2023).
   

• 89% of employees working in companies with wellness programs report being happy and would recommend their workplace (Wellable, 2024).
   

“Partnering with the Y sends a clear message to your employees—you care about their health,” said Warren Yong, Executive Director of the J Douglas Williams YMCA. “And the Y is unique in the fitness space—we give back to the community dollar for dollar. When your business partners with us, you're supporting your employees and investing in the greater good.”
