True, long-lasting changein our employees’ personalbeliefs and actions occurs
only when a consistentsupport system is provided.
The Cultural Imperative
• Current health plans focus on employees when they are “sick”… little to no focus is placed on the true “health” of the employee
• Programs should support and protect long-term investment in employees
• Employees spend a majority of their day with the Company… we can potentially impact their health behaviors quicker than other avenues
• The impact of employee health is far-reaching
to include:• Total benefit costs
(medical, disability, workers’ comp)• Productivity• Employee morale• Corporate results
53
