人力资源管理协会(Society for Human Resource Management)报告称,70%的美国员工在工作中遇到了麻烦.S. 雇主现在提供健康计划, 高于2008年的58%, when they first began surveying companies about their wellness benefits.

Most of those companies are motivated by short-term thinking: reducing healthcare costs for their companies. Unfortunately, most of those companies aren’t seeing much success from their programs.

在Barry-Wehmiller,推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜的主要动力是关爱.

We challenge ourselves to look at our wellbeing programs through a lens of care, not cost. Our commitment to being a people-centric organization calls us to make benefits decisions with our team members’ health and wellbeing as the priority. 这意味着提供的不仅仅是提高底线的项目. It means devoting significant resources to designing wellness programs and activities that educate, inspire and motivate our team members to take personal responsibility to be better stewards of their own health–for the long-term. 作为一个组织, our goal is to help them become their best selves and we realize that is only possible when they feel safe, 健康和满足.

After the first year of intense focus on inspiring our team members to embrace healthier lifestyles, 推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜很高兴看到这样的积极成果:

  • 就诊人数增加30%,主要是为了进行预防性筛查;
  • 生物识别筛查增加77%;
  • 450% increase in use of the company-subsidized healthcare concierge service which helped team members locate high-quality, 具有成本效益的医疗保健提供者;
  • Hundreds of dollars in average savings to team members who used the concierge service for prescription drug reviews, 过程比较, 医生建议等等;
  • 门诊手术费用降低34%;
  • Almost 30% of our medical plan enrollees earning the Better You Incentive, making them eligible for reduced monthly premiums during 2016 for completing a pathway of required healthy activities.

推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜从来没有想到这个项目会被如此广泛地采用, 更不用说一年之后就取得了巨大的成功! And while we know the truest measure of our program’s success won’t be seen for several years when the healthier choices made today should result in fewer health problems for our team members down the road, 推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜对结果感到非常自豪. 事实上, we have been so encouraged that instead of increasing employee medical premiums from the mid to high single digits like most US companies, 推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜将保持2016年的价格与2015年相同.

然而,最大的好处是无法量化的. 问问Dale Young就知道了, 推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜的一个长期团队成员, 他在威斯康星州的BW公司工作了20多年, 最近搬到了清水镇, 我想在推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜的 PneumaticScaleAngelus 操作.

他搬迁后, Dale was very busy and would have preferred to put off finding a new doctor for a few more months. But the deadline to fulfill the requirements for the Better You Incentive was fast approaching and he still needed to get the required annual physical.

“你知道这是怎么回事. It takes a lot of effort to do the research to find a new doctor and I just didn’t have the time. So I contacted the service Barry-Wehmiller offers us to help navigate healthcare decisions and they found me a doctor and booked the appointment,戴尔说。.

During the checkup the doctor discovered a small odd-colored freckle on Dale’s back. 他去掉了雀斑和周围的皮肤,并要求进行活组织检查. 戴尔并没有过分担心. “I had lived in Wisconsin my entire life where my back rarely saw the light of day. I just figured that doctors in Florida where people are constantly out in the sun were very cautious about anything that looked a little odd.”

当戴尔一周后来做后续预约时, 他的医生说:“嗯, 我刚救了你的命. That spot was less than two weeks away from becoming a full blown melanoma and would have killed you.”

Dale remembers how he started to shake as the gravity of what may have been began to sink in. If not for Barry-Wehmiller’s wellness program, he’d likely be facing a death sentence.

“If I hadn’t been required to get my checkup by the deadline to earn the Better You Incentive, I know I would have waited until things settled down after moving to get it taken care of. 到那时就太晚了. And if I hadn’t had access to the service that helped me find the doctor, 我怀疑我自己能这么快找到一个. Again it would have been too late to catch the melanoma before it turned deadly.

“我的医生说他救了我的命, but I give equal credit to the wellbeing initiatives that motivated me to make my health a priority.”

戴尔并不是唯一一个这么想的人. Six other BW team members across North America came forward to tell us that, because we created a program that encouraged them to be better stewards of their health, they were motivated to get checkups that uncovered potentially life-threatening issues.

就我而言, saving the lives of those seven team members is the only metric that matters!

然而, 由于推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜的医疗计划参与者的奉献精神更聪明, 今年做出更健康的决定, 推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜经历了更低的总体索赔成本, 最终, 组织的保险费用. So, 就像推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜分担医疗费用一样, 推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜觉得正确的做法是分享储蓄的好处. We decided the fair thing to do was give those team members enrolled in a company medical plan a break from paying their medical insurance premiums during the month of December. We knew they would appreciate the extra money during the holiday season.

Dale said the company passing the savings on to team members was a nice gesture. “It shows that Barry-Wehmiller’s motivation is not cost savings for the company. 这是为了推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜更健康——为了推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜自己和推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜的家人.对他说, 然而, the extra money in his paycheck is a drop in the bucket compared to the windfall he received in September. “当那次体检救了我的命时,我感觉自己中了彩票.”
