Manage Healthcare Costs & Improve Productivity…in the Workplace!


The Facts

•  $3 trillion spent on health care in America in 2010
•  90% paid by employers in Corporate America
•  75% spent to treat conditions that are lifestyle issues...reversible & preventable!


The Problem
 
“Absenteeism, disability and other health-related matters are costing the average participating organization millions of dollars each year in benefit payouts and lost productivity. While a growing number of organizations realize the connection between employee health and productivity, few understand the link between their HR and management practices and the health of their employees.”

The Core Issue & Challenge for Employers

"Changing the behavior of people isn't just the biggest challenge in health care. It's the most important challenge for businesses trying to compete in a turbulent world, says John Kotter, a Harvard Business School professor who has studied dozens of organizations in the midst of upheaval: “The central issue is never strategy, structure, culture, or systems. The core of the matter is always about changing the behavior of people.”
Excerpt from “Change or Die” by Alan Deutschman
Fast Company: Issue 94 / May 2005 / Page 53


The Challenge for Human Resource Professionals

"Under the new healthcare reform initiative and the current business economic climate, your opportunity lies in increasing your value to the companies that you serve. Those who take the initiative to make the paradigm shift from merely "administrating benefits" to becoming "wellness change agents" will benefit professionally from this repositioning."
