The Hidden Cost of Workplace Burnout
If you're evaluating corporate wellness programs for your organization, you're likely facing one or more of these challenges:
Rising healthcare costs driven by preventable chronic disease
High turnover among your best performers
Productivity loss from burnout and presenteeism
Wellness initiatives that generate excitement but don't create lasting change
You've probably tried the standard approaches: gym membership discounts, mental health apps, lunch-and-learn speakers, wellness challenges. They create a temporary buzz, but six months later, nothing has really changed.
Here's what most employee wellness programs get wrong:
They focus on awareness without addressing the root cause. Your team isn't burning out because they don't know they should eat better or manage stress. They're burning out because the demands of modern work are outpacing their biological capacity to sustain them.
The Real Numbers Behind Burnout:
77% of employees report experiencing burnout at their current job (Deloitte)
Presenteeism alone costs U.S. employers $150 billion annually in lost productivity (CDC)
90% of healthcare spending goes to chronic diseases—most preventable through lifestyle changes (CDC)
Replacing an employee costs 50-200% of their annual salary
Companies with wellness programs see a 28% reduction in sick days and 26% reduction in healthcare costs
(Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine)
When employees are chronically under-fueled, over-stressed, and under-recovered, it destroys productivity,
drives turnover, and inflates your healthcare costs.
What if burnout wasn't a personal failing, but a capacity problem you could solve?
The Corporate Wellness Program Your Team Needs
The Human Capacity Framework is a 90-day corporate wellness program designed specifically for mid-size organizations (300-1,000 employees) that want measurable results, not just another wellness perk.
This workplace wellness program addresses the root cause of burnout: your team doesn't have the biological capacity to sustain the demands being placed on them.
Led by Registered Dietitian Kait Richardson, this employee wellness program teaches your workforce how to build sustainable capacity through three critical pillars: Fuel, Regulation, and Recovery.
The Three Pillars
FUEL
What the body has available to work with
Employees learn evidence-based nutrition strategies to:
Maintain consistent energy throughout the workday
Improve focus and decision-making capacity
Eliminate afternoon crashes and sugar cravings
Stabilize blood sugar for better productivity
Fuel properly during travel, meetings, and irregular schedules
Participants gain practical strategies that work in real work environments ranging from desk jobs and field work to business travel and leadership
The Impact: Research shows proper nutrition improves cognitive function, leading to 25% better decision-making and concentration.
REGULATION
How the nervous system interprets and uses that fuel
This is where most corporate wellness programs fail. They focus on what to eat but ignore how stress hijacks your biology.
Your team discovers how to:
Manage stress responses without burning out
Break the chronic fight-or-flight cycle that drives poor food choices
Use caffeine strategically instead of relying on it to function
Understand the stress-eating connection (it's not willpower, it's dysregulation)
Build nervous system resilience through simple daily practices
The Impact: When your nervous system is regulated, the same fuel goes further. This means better focus, clearer thinking, and more resilience under pressure.
RECOVERY
Whether capacity is replenished or depleted over time
High performers chronically underestimate this pillar. You can fuel well and manage stress, but without recovery, you're still depleting capacity faster than you're rebuilding it.
Participants build sustainable habits for:
Quality sleep (the foundation of cognitive performance)
Strategic movement and strength training
True recovery practices (not just "rest days")
Long-term metabolic health
Sustaining results after the program ends
The Impact: Recovery is about replenishing intentionally so you can maintain high performance over time. This pillar makes health sustainable.

The Workbook.
Real stories and strategies Kait uses with her clients to help them stop falling into diet traps and start fueling their body. This story workbook is for yo-yo dieters, binge eaters, emotional eaters, stress snackers, and obsessive food trackers who want to stop being so all-or-nothing with food.
How to Eat Like a Normal Person dismisses the idea that people need to restrict to get results. Rather it, provides evidence-based nutrition strategies that promote nutritious food choices without the guilt of enjoying a cookie now and then. Kait’s book encourages readers who want more energy and confidence that they can make peace with food- without the diet!
“One of the best books I've read on diet/nutrition… No food is "off-limits" - rather, [Kait] teaches you how to make choices (even with some of those foods you might have always considered "forbidden") to enjoy food in a way that helps your body stay on track.”
