It makes sense that healthier employees improve your organization’s bottom line through improved absenteeism, productivity, and lower health, disability, and workers compensation claims costs. You have heard about other employers who have taken steps to improve the health of their employees. Or perhaps you have some programs in place, but now you’re ready to take it to the next level.
But how does an employer know which approach to wellness is best for its unique population? And then how do you find and garner the resources and expertise to properly implement the right programs and monitor the results?
East Capitol Street Consultants works with clients in the design, implementation, communication, and on-going administration of integrated health management plans and wellness initiatives.
East Capitol Street Consultants advocates the Manatee County Model as the primary methodology for increasing member participation in health management. Key success factors of this model include:
· 97% Participation (employees & dependents!) in Health Risk Assessments, Biometric Labs, and Wellness Exams · 94% Participation in evidence-based preventative exams and condition-related disease treatment education programs · 2009 health and pharmacy claims paid at 2006 levels without increasing member cost share · Significant reduction in overall population health risks
The innovator of the Manatee Model has found the right mix of benefit plan design, member incentives, integrated programs, and leveraged data to create flat trends and a healthier workforce. The Manatee Model takes design and integration several steps beyond other employer programs. Two key aspects of their success have been:
· The TOTAL integration of all health programs that touch the employee, and
· Ready access to individualized support for behavioral change, provided onsite or through community-based face-to-face advocacy and coaching.
It's Wellness Done Well. The results continue to be very impressive.
