Why Is Wellness Important To Corporations?

A little investment goes a long way.
Studies consistenly show that a healthy work force has less medical claims, and will decrease the health care dollars spent by corporations.  Health and wellness is directly related to.  As health risks increase, productivity decreases.  Furthermore, the greater the number of health risk factors employees have, the greater the medical dollars spent on medical claims, disability claims and worker’s compensation claims. Improving the health of your employees will in the long run decrease your direct and indirect cost of health care.  Your employees will be happier and more productive.

Wellness Plan for Corporate Health

Step 1 - Identifying Risk Factors:
We do this through a tool know as the "Personal Wellness Profile", (PWP).  In order to determine the health needs of your employees, you must know their health risks. The Personal Wellness Profile Is a four-page questionnaire (39 questions) completed by your employees prior to their health screening.  The evaluation factors specific health aspects of the participant in conjunction with their screening tests results.  The health questionnaire is analyzed using the Wellsource personal wellness software. A personal, confidential four-page health evaluation indicating the areas of risk for each employee is generated and given to the employee . The report also includes educational information to help them decrease their risk factors. The employer receives an executive summary with data that allows them to look at the aggregate status of the health of their employees.

Step 2 - Reduction of Risk Factors:
Based upon the information obtained from the Personal Profile, each employee will have a general understanding of their health, and be able to make changes that will reduce risk factors identified Employers will be able to get a snap shot of their employee’s health, and target their wellness and health programs to specific identified health concerns

Step 3 - Health Education, Coaching and  Information:
Education and information is the key to prevention. Part of an effective approach to the reduction of risk factors and improved health is an education program that focuses on employee’s most common health needs. Based on the results identified through the PWP, our medical professionals will develop a variety of relevant educational and coaching programs to help you achieve corporate health.
