Program

What Are the Benefits of Wellness?

• Being well rested and healthy benefits the
  company.
• Well rested employees are more productive at
  work.
• Employees that feel good also miss less work
  which allows companies to be more profitable.

Step 1 Assess the Health of Your Group

• Offer a health and lifestyle assessment along
  with a health screening.
• This can provide motivation for employees to
  become more healthy.
• An assessment also helps a company identify the
  most common health needs of its employees.

Step 2 Discover the Results

• A HRA or Health Risk Assessment gives each
  employee a personal health report with detailed
  results.
• Our Personal Wellness Profile creates risk
  profiles for a variety of health problems such as
  heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis and much
  more.
• Ensure that your employees understand their
  Health Risk Assessment.

Step 3 Educate your Participants

• Education is a critical step for your employees.
• Offer programs to help educate your employees on
  topics such as weight loss, exercise, learning to
  lower blood pressure and cholesterol and other
  programs to improve overall health.
• Provide health coaches to help motivate your
  employees to be healthier inside and outside of
  work.

Step 4 Motivate and Track Participation

• Motivation is a great way to help employees
  improve their health.
• Companies that offer incentives tend to have much
  better results.
• Offering discounts on health insurance can be a
  big motivator for employees.

Step 5 Create a Culture of Health

• Creating a culture that fosters healthy living is
  important to improving employee health.
• Providing healthy snacks and meals at your office
  can help to foster this culture.
• Offering flex times for exercise and promoting
  biking to work and other healthy activities can
  increase employee participation.

Step 6 Measure and Evaluate Outcomes

• Measuring your successes and failures is
  important to maintaining an effective wellness
  program.
• Evaluate your program once a year to make
  adjustments as necessary.
• Repeat the HRA each year to see how your
  employees are performing annually.
