Employee Wellness Programs That Work!

The Wellness Education Foundation’s wellness & prevention programs assist employers of all sizes in reducing insurance costs through a healthier workforce with little or no investment by the organization.

The WEF’s behavioral & lifestyle wellness programs include the five essential elements necessary for a quantifiable impact on reducing risks: assessment, intervention, education, access and reporting. Additionally, the WEF concentrates on the entire person by including complimentary, face-to-face health coaching services and monthly on-site health presentations via its national network of Certified Health Coaches to address behavioral and lifestyle changes.

Why Implement a Wellness Program?

• Adults with multiple risk factors are expensive employees in terms of insurance utilization, reduced productivity, increased absenteeism, etc. In fact, they consume 42% more resources than those without. Thus, your clients have a vested interest in reducing those risk factors to improve their profitability.
• Approximately 50% of the workforce experiences a problem known to reduce productivity that often can be successfully addressed through an effective wellness program.
• On average, over 50% of each employer’s employees will have three or more risk factors—categorizing them as high risk.
• According to the US Government Guidelines (Healthy People 2010), 75% of employers should implement a comprehensive wellness program.
• The program was developed with proven principles of changing behavior. We can assist you in reducing claims costs, increasing productivity, and reducing absenteeism.
• Employees will appreciate the new benefit offering that is both visible and well accepted. Furthermore, the WEF’s wellness program will touch and positively impact spouses and dependents as well.
• The WEF’s Program offers a high value, low cost proposition to incorporate a comprehensive wellness program including all five essential elements for effectiveness—assessment, intervention, education, access, and incentivization.
• Upon renewal, employers can build the cost of the program into the employees’ share of benefits resulting in a healthier workforce while not requiring any investment from the employer.
• By using the WEF Program, we’ll have the data and utilization reports to negotiate with the underwriter at renewal for a discounted premium.
• With a guaranteed ROI, it costs more to not have the WEF program than to implement.
• The Program is not painful for your clients to implement. In fact, we take responsibility for getting their employees involved!
