We all have reasons for why Health matters 
Usually personal in nature 
I want to be an energetic mother / father 
I want to look and feel better 
I want to be vibrant in my old age 
I don’t want to be sick! 
I want to provide for myself and family to the best of my capabilities
But what does good Health mean to the business? 
It matters if it links to performance and the bottom line! 
I want my employees to be productive and “present” 
We need the business to be innovative 
We need our employees to give us a competitive edge 
We want to attract and retain top talent

1.A detailed assessment to understand a person’s unique motivation, confidence and change barriers. 
2.A supportive plan for treatment 
–Establish an emotional connection 
-Follows proven clinical guidelines 
-Incorporates proven behavioral science models 
-Uniquely tailored to each individual 
-Longitudinal 
-Offers tools, tips and resources 
3.Quantifiable Outcomes Measures 
A 24/7 health coach with a plan just for modifying or changing an undesirable health-related behavior 
Digital Health Coaching 
New tools to engage employees and change behavior 
BEHAVIOR CHANGE AND SCALABILITY
Motivation and Incentives 
•Extrinsic Motivators 
–Medical plan discount ($500) for participating in voluntary health risk assessment (HRA) and health advising 
–Other financial incentives for participation in preventive screening (colonoscopy), condition management coaching, maternity support, and healthy weight incentive 
•Intrinsic Motivators: 
–Framing personal health risks as “true health age” or risk of death or chronic disease 
–Resetting mission/story in light of personal feedback 
Since 1995 and in just a few years of instituting the benefits incentive, health profile participation percentage rose from <26% to > 93% - and has remained above 80% ever since. The ultimate goal is to drive participation AND engagement via extrinsic/intrinsic motivators – when combined this will lead to sustainable outcomes.

OUTCOMES
Key Takeaways 
•Since the 1950s we’ve had a “sick care” system - Today we are moving closer to a “health care” system as health & wellness programs are increasing in popularity and effectiveness 
•Stakeholders must look beyond health care as a cost that needs to be controlled and see instead health plans and health and wellness programs as an investment that can be leveraged 
•Success springs from a culture of health, which is built into the fabric of the business, communities and health systems 
•Must set short and long term goals and measure outcomes 
•Integrate service delivery with innovative solutions that focus on prevention, behavior modification, and linkage to benefit design 
•Use appropriate incentives 
•Include family and the community 
•Increased productivity and engagement can generate significant cost savings and improved performance – right people at the right time 
•Investment in prevention and health innovation can yield significant economic and social returns 
•Good health is not only of great value to individuals and populations, but also to industry and society. 
In short, wellness works and prevention pays.
