Key Take Away
This webinar will review the “Best Practices” of engaging employees and their spouses in healthier behavior through effective wellness strategies that also have incredible secondary benefits of engaging people in taking advantage of many other benefit solutions that are often available but struggle to get utilization.
Overview
What is good health to you? Most people would say, “Not having my health get in the way of doing what I want to do.” No one likes to feel sick. Our health is very directly tied to our happiness and most people want to be happy.
However, the truth is most people struggle with their health. The Gallop poll estimates that 6 out of 7 full time workers in America are either overweight or have a chronic health condition. Employers offer benefits to attract and retain good employees. What a wonderful benefit it is to offer your employees progress towards better health.
Why Should You Attend
Offering health benefits to attract and retain good employees is often the 2nd largest cost of doing business, only second to wages. We spend 3 trillion dollars each year in America on healthcare which is twice as much as any other country per capita and yet we aren’t even in the top 20 countries in terms of health. The American healthcare industry is the largest industry in our economy and the 7th largest economy in the world.
Why does it cost so much?
Lack of market forces – The buyer and seller are so far apart that normal market forces don’t play their usual role is obtaining better value for a better price.
Financial incentives are all in the wrong direction – The entire industry makes more money the more things cost. The more procedures done, the more money everyone makes. No is aligned financially with the employer to work towards a healthier more productive work force.
Poor Health – In general, the American people are not a very healthy people. We are very sedentary and fast-food friendly. We could have a perfect healthcare system, but it won’t change a thing if we keep getting unhealthier.
The Indiana University-Purdue University, Fort Wayne (IPFW) Study of 2006 showed that the majority (87.5%) of healthcare costs are lifestyle related. If behavior is at the root of most healthcare costs, wouldn’t it make sense that helping people change behavior would be incredibly important at controlling costs?
Learn the best practices at engaging people in behavioral change to create a more productive workforce that is less expensive to insure.
Areas Covered In This Webinar
To find the best practices of engaging people in behavioral change we can look to the behavioral health industry. What does a good counselor or therapist use to engage their patient in behavioral change? Do they offer a financial incentive? Do they give the patient information? How effective would a counselor be if these were their primary tools? Not! Hence, why the wellness industry gets such a black eye for not being very effective.
So, what does a good counselor do? What are the best practices of engaging people in behavioral change?
Health Coaching
These same best practices that a good counselor uses to engage change in a patient are the same best practices that an effect health coach uses to engage change in a wellness participant. Health coaching is defined as is a process that facilitates healthy, sustainable behavior change by challenging a client to develop their inner wisdom, identify their values, and transform their goals into action.
In addition to engaging wellness participants in healthier behaviour, health coaches can play catalyst role and engaging people in using other benefit solutions like: Employee Assistance Programs, cost and quality transparency programs, second opinion programs, advocacy programs, high performing networks, and disease management programs.
