How To Do A Trial Program •  Install Purifans in shared office areas to filter the air 40 Dmes per hour, reducing the impact of allergens and airborne parDculates on employee’s health. •  Purifan’s filtered air will also reduce the spread of contagious illnesses brought to the office including common colds and flu.

Immediate Payback A very wise man once said, you can’t develop a plan to solve any problem un0l you’ve fully defined and understood the problem. With our Wellness Program we defined the problem as too many airborne par0cles that trigger a variety of common health problems. The lowest cost solu0on that requires no lifestyle changes and no medicine is to reduce the person’s exposure to the allergy triggers. How We Measure Our Success 1 -­‐ Reduced employee sick days and health care costs related to allergies, asthma and common respiratory infec0ons. 2 -­‐ We also seek to reduce the airborne spread of many common contagious illnesses from one sick employee to other people sharing the same office air. For many Wellness Programs the impact on employees is hard to measure. But Purifan’s Wellness is easy to track and measure: Measure •  Employee Absenteeism •  Employee Respiratory Illnesses Change Something Improvement Process •  Other Ways to Measure •  Inhaler use •  Asthma aTacks •  Allergy medica0ons Measure •  Employee Surveys Do More of What Works Change Something Most Wellness Changes Require A Major Employee Commitment to Personal Lifestyle Change •  Dietary changes •  Weight loss program •  Smoking cessa0on •  Regular exercise programs •  Seat-­‐belt usage •  Stress Reduc0on, Depression • Chronic Back Pain, Migraines •  Five fruits and Vegetable Servings A Key Element of Good Management is to put more management focus on the things you can actually control or change that will make a significant difference in achieving the desired outcome. Purifans Benefit Every Employee   Improve lung health makes immune system stronger to fight off common illnesses   Reduces allergy symptoms that drive employees to take mind-­‐numbing medica0ons with bad side-­‐effects   Reducing the spread of illnesses can save many sick days and health costs for employees   Cleaner air has been proven to correlate with the following benefits 

Fewer data entry and calcula0on errors Fewer on the job accidents. Higher worker produc0vity BeTer long-­‐term heart and lung health Fewer employee sick days and reduced presenteeism (being sick at work) Companies focused on Wellness Programs know there is a real long-­‐
term value of improving employees’ health. Purifan’s Office Wellness Program focuses on the avoidable causes of daily absenteeism and presenteeism. The savings can be quite large, and realized in the very first year of implementa0on. Example using a $25,000 salary or $100 per day. Higher salaries will increase many of these values.   Paid sick day to stay home -­‐ $100   Value of lost work -­‐ $100-­‐$200?   Impact on project schedules   Impact of working sick or contagious   Impact on other employees who have to cover for the sick person   Cost of health care used   Cost of prescrip0ons   Cost of preventa0ve medica0ons   Side-­‐effects of meds and over the counter drugs Value is at least $240-­‐$500 per day   Presenteeism is a new term used by human resource professionals to describe circumstances in which employees come to work even though they are ill, posing poten0al problems of contagion and lower produc0vity.   In a 1999 study sponsored by the Employers Health Coali0on, researchers calculated that the costs of lost produc0vity are 7.5 0mes greater than costs due to absenteeism. For example, presenteeism due to chronic condi0ons; such as migraines, allergies and back pain can add up to 15, 20 or even 30 0mes the costs of absenteeism.   Causes are chronic allergies, asthma, migraines, back pain, depression and stress. Allergic Diseases and CogniDve Impairment Sneezing, wheezing, watery eyes and runny nose aren't the only symptoms of allergic diseases. Many people with allergic rhini0s also report feeling "slower" and drowsy. When their allergies are ac0ng up, they have trouble concentra0ng and remembering.  
For instance, allergic rhini0s can be associated with:  
Decreased ability to concentrate and func0on  
Ac0vity limita0on  
Decreased decision-­‐making capacity  
Impaired hand-­‐eye coordina0on  
Problems remembering things  
Irritability, Sleep disorders, Fa0gue  
Missed days at work or school  
More motor vehicle accidents  
More school or work injuries These problems are aggravated by allergies’ impact on quality of sleep, and the side effects of most common over-­‐the-­‐counter and prescripDon medicaDons employees take to reduce symptoms. EliminaDng exposure to the allergy triggers is the best ways to reduce chronic allergies. Typical School InstallaDon Based on ExisDng Classrooms   Cut absenteeism by 61% -­‐ saving 
