transparent about how savings due to improved well-being benefit everyone, a big part of the
messaging is, “You kept our costs low, and we’ll keep your premiums low.” All of the components
of the wellness program highlighted in this case study exist to make employees feel cared about
and take this symbiotic partnership seriously, working with New Era to take care of themselves
and keep healthcare dollar spending down and productivity and engagement high.

3. “Outcomes-based
programming is not
part of our culture;
we don’t want people
frustrated. We want
them to take care of
themselves.”
TRACEY MILLER
Senior Manager of Benefits &
Employee Well-Being
Over the past ten years, New Era has been building its wellness program, which has evolved to
address total well-being to help employees become the best version of themselves in work and life.
The goal is not just to save money, but to help employees truly thrive. This case study outlines
how New Era Cap has created a wellness program that encourages employees to take care of their
overall well-being. According to Tracey Miller, the Senior Manager of Benefits and Employee
Well-being, “Outcomes-based programming is not part of our culture; we don’t want people
frustrated. We want them to take care of themselves. We are just happy they want to be involved!”
T H E N E W E R A LI FE PROG R A M
New Era’s wellness program began ten years ago by simply educating employees on a variety
of health topics, relying on resources from their local insurance provider. Most of these topics
included only physical health such as blood pressure, physical activity and weight loss. There
were few incentives, and most activities were solely participation based. Tracey Miller stated,
feedback from employees was that they “wanted more”. As a result, the program has grown from
education-based with a non-strategic incentive structure to fully branded wellness program, now
known as New Era LIFE. The New Era LIFE program was rolled out to all six locations in 2013.
New Era LIFE had the backing of senior leadership and has grown to be better connected to
the overall vision and strategy of the company. It has become part of the company’s culture, not
just another program. The goals of the New Era LIFE program were to increase productivity,
decrease medical costs, enhance employee engagement and—most importantly—help employees
take care of themselves.

9. Aside from keeping
pharmacy and
medical costs below
benchmark, New Era
is particularly proud
of how their efforts
have contributed to a
more productive
and engaged
workforce.
COM MU N I C AT IO N S T R AT E GY
Communication can be a challenge when running a wellness program with multiple sites.
New Era created a strategy that works. They discovered the importance of having leadership
on board to communicate and launch programming. The company has recruited “Wellness
Champions” at each site to help recruit employees and encourage participation in programming.
These efforts have allowed the New Era LIFE brand to be highly recognizable within each
location in the organization. They also employ internal e-mail, the New Era LIFE intranet page
and onsite television monitors to promote wellness offerings. New Era recently realized online
communications channels were inundated with so much information, that wellness programming
messaging was unable to cut through the “noise”. As a result, the decision was made to rely more
heavily on hard copy channels such as paper flyers in the physical environment; this shift resulted
in an increase in program participation. New Era has also found that keeping branding consistent
has been a great help when promoting the program.
O U TCOM E S
Aside from keeping pharmacy and medical costs below benchmark, New Era is particularly proud
of how their efforts have contributed to a more productive and engaged workforce. Over the
past 5 years, the company has grown tremendously and has seen a steady decrease in employees
voluntarily leaving their positions over the years. The number of employees voluntarily leaving
the company in 2016 was reduced by one-third from 2009. Average tenure in the manufacturing
facility in Derby, NY is over seventeen years, and the organization-wide average employee tenure
is over seven years—this is three years longer than the national average (2016 Bureau of Labor
Statistics).
