Employers today are faced with rising healthcare costs and a declining healthy workforce. Managed care has served its purpose, but is no longer able to keep up with these soaring costs. For this reason, many companies are implementing corporate wellness programs. The goal is to reduce the cost of healthcare by dramatically improving the health of valued employees and their dependents.
An effective corporate wellness program will identify individual risk factors for employees and dependents and provide the tools necessary to implement lifestyle changes to positively impact their overall health. As illustrated in the graph, a corporate wellness program should move employees at moderate and high risk levels to a healthier low risk as well as to keep those employees at low risk levels from shifting to high risk.
Improving the health of your company is a three-step process involving: Identification, Intervention, and Evaluation & Measurement. Step One, Identification, involves a confidential health risk assessment and biometric screening. Step Two, Intervention, entails education, tools, challenges, and rewards. Step Three, Evaluation and Measurement, is tracking and reporting the progress of the entire program. Through a partnership with Matria Healthcare, we can offer you an affordable wellness solution. |
