Problem

For years, this global manufacturer had been growing its business through acquisitions. Unfortunately, the company had not cemented a single organizational culture. The workforce was uninformed about the essentials needed to lead healthy lifestyles, which resulted in skyrocketing annual healthcare claims costs for the company. When the idea of implementing an EngagementHealth wellness program was first introduced, human resource professionals at each facility expressed resistance to what they expected to be an imposed, time-consuming process. And employees didn't like the idea of having their health status monitored on a weekly basis.

Solution

EngagementHealth implemented its comprehensive program for eligible employees and their spouses, placing emphasis on the core prevention program and individualized wellness programs. Given an incentive program that was customized for the company, 77% of eligible employees were motivated to register in the program at its inception. Early successes with individualized wellness programs as well as the ease of reporting quickly led to changes in both employee and human resource professionals' attitudes toward the program.

Outcomes

In the past year, this global manufacturer has achieved an average participation rate of 86.5% for its EngagementHealth wellness program. The company has realized significant biometric improvements, including three-times higher than the national average for weight loss and a one-year tobacco quit rate of 73%. Moreover, the company reduced its annual healthcare claims costs by more than $1 million in one year. Most importantly, today both employees and human resources professionals are lobbying for program expansion.
