Like many companies, this manufacturer had been experiencing several years of double-digit inflation in annual healthcare claims costs. The company knew that they were no longer able to shift any more costs to their employees. Executives also knew that they couldn't sustain these annual increases without seriously jeopardizing their profit margins.
EngagementHealth® implemented our comprehensive program for eligible employees and their spouses in a matter of six weeks, including our core prevention program, company weight loss challenge and six individualized wellness programs. Because this workforce presented a statistically higher incidence of heart disease and high blood pressure, emphasis was placed on programs for weight loss and lowering blood pressure.
By implementing EngagementHealth's turnkey wellness program, this manufacturer made a measurable change in both its employee's health and its bottom line starting in the first year. The program resulted in an annual average loss of 8.03 pounds per weight reduction participant and a 45% reduction in employees with high blood pressure in the second year.
Most significantly, per-employee-per-year claims costs dropped from $5,795 at the program's inception to $4,559 at the end of the third year – a nearly 21% reduction in their per employee per year claims costs. And because they adopted our innovative funding model, the program not only paid for itself but delivered tens of thousands of dollars to the bottom line.
