Viverae, a national provider of comprehensive health management solutions that help corporations reduce health care costs by improving employee health, released a new white paper, “Worksite Wellness: How Engagement Drives Real Health Improvement,” which is based on a study of Viverae’s clients conducted by faculty members at Baylor University’s Hankamer School of Business. The paper examines Viverae’s methodological approach to changing employee lifestyles as a long-term strategy for successful health and wellness programs. You can download a complimentary copy now.
Influencing health and wellness changes in your workforce is more complicated than simply telling employees to eat more fruits and vegetables and exercise. While a great deal of current research documents the benefits of healthier employees – lower employer-paid medical costs, reduced absenteeism and increased productivity – most research is limited to case studies that focus on the efforts of only one organization - until now.
With Baylor’s professor John F. Tanner Jr., Ph.D., associate dean of research, and assistant professor Morris George, Ph.D., Baylor recently partnered with Viverae and conducted a study to examine the statistical correlation between employees’ health assessment scores and wellness program participation with the use of personal health coaches. The study also examines how all of these variables converge to change long-term employee lifestyle behaviors.
When you download this paper, you will learn how Viverae’s health and wellness programs create winning strategies for employee participation, engagement and sustainable lifestyle changes by providing:
• Health assessments: Self-reporting and biometric testing to assess and set health status benchmarks for employees.• Health coaching: Personal coaching and regular feedback to aid lifestyle changes and improve the long-term health of employees.
• Meaningful incentives: Broad array of incentive programs – lower insurance premiums – designed to create a healthy culture in an organization.
Having the right approach to health and wellness programs and the statistical validity to prove it makes Viverae the perfect choice for a health management provider. Discover how Viverae creates wellness programs that sustain long-term behavioral and lifestyle changes for any employee population.
