LONG-TERM HEALTH CARE STRATEGY
The lifestyle choices employees make can affect their health
and quality of life today and in the future. These lifestyle
choices also affect the cost of health care.
ND Bakken Oil Company’s Long-Term Health Care Strategy is
designed to help manage rising health care costs by supporting
employees and their families in living a more healthy life. As
health care costs continue to increase, ND Bakken Oil Company
is committed to providing opportunities and resources for
employees and their families to manage their health, creating a
healthier culture at ND Bakken Oil Company’s, and supporting
our wellness initiatives.
HEALTH MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
At ND Bakken Oil Company our employees are our greatest
asset! We recognize that our employees’ good health is a
critical factor in our continued success. For this reason, ND
Bakken Oil Company partners with Heath First to administer
our health management program. Based on individual responses
to a Health Risk Questionnaire (HRQ), a personalized health
report offers each participant personal health information, risk
factors and tools for personal health improvement.
Behaviors such as smoking, poor diet, and lack of exercise are
some of the factors that increase a person’s risk of health
problems. Knowledge of these risks helps change behavior, and
the health report helps identify any risk areas that may need
attention. The HRQ provides a scientific way of turning
intuitive knowledge into measurable odds.
A Health Management Incentive (HMI) is offered to reward
individuals for actively managing their health by completing the
health management program each year. ND Bakken Oil
Company believes so strongly in “healthy living” that the cash
incentive is offered to all regular employees, even those who do
not enroll in ND Bakken Oil Company’s medical plan. The
focus on making healthy choices is not only for employees, but
extends to their families. The HMI for 2013 is $1,000. If an
employee chooses to participate, the incentive will be paid
based on eligibility and timely completion of the requirements
for each phase of the program.
WELLNESS COMMITTEES
ND Bakken Oil Company believes in providing employees with
tools and resources to help make healthy lifestyle choices. The
Wellness Committees include employees who represent various
departments, act as wellness advocates and are responsible for
building interest and participation in wellness efforts at ND
Bakken Oil Company.
The Wellness Committees’ objectives are to foster an
environment that offers healthy lifestyle choices, encourage
employees and their families to move to a higher level of health
and wellness, and provide tools and resources to support ND
Bakken Oil Company’s wellness themes.
The Wellness Committees sponsor events around these themes.
Employees’ lifestyle choices directly affect ND Bakken Oil
Company’s bottom line. We encourage employees to make the
choice to participate in and support ND Bakken Oil Company’s
wellness initiatives.

ND Bakken Oil Company offers a choice of three medical plans
administered by HealthAmerica: The Core, the Optional and the
Consumer Choice.
The Core Medical Plan
This plan allows participants to go to any doctor or hospital.
The plan pays 80% of eligible medical expenses after an annual
deductible of $300 per person. The plan pays up to the
reasonable and customary amount for a particular expense in a
location. Once medical expenses reach the annual out-of pocket
maximum of $2,000 per person, the plan pays 100% of the
eligible expenses for the remainder of the year. Participants
continue to pay costs related to prescription drugs.
The Optional Medical Plan
This plan is a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan that
allows an employee to see any doctor, but provides greater
benefits when providers are in the HealthAmerica network.
Once expenses reach the annual out-of-pocket maximum of
$500 per person, the plan pays 100% of the eligible expenses
for the remainder of the year. Participants continue to pay costs
related to prescription drugs.

This plan is per person. Once medical expenses reach the annual
out-of-pocket maximum of $2,500 per person, the plan pays
100% of the eligible expenses for the rest of the year.

offers incentives such as low premiums, free generic drugs and
fitness club reimbursements. It is a PPO plan that allows you to
see any doctor you choose, but provides greater benefits when
you see providers in the HealthAmerica network. The plan pays
80% of eligible medical expenses after an annual deductible of
$500.

Life Styles Inventory TM (LSI): Self-Description
Feedback for
The raw and percentile scores in the table below and the
extensions on the circumplex shown on the next page depict
your perceptions of how you think and behave.
The CONSTRUCTIVE Styles (11, 12, 1, and 2 o'clock
positions) reflect self-enhancing thinking and behavior that
contribute to one's level of satisfaction, ability to develop
healthy relationships and work effectively with people, and
proficiency at accomplishing tasks.
The PASSIVE/DEFENSIVE Styles (3, 4, 5, and 6 o'clock
positions) represent self-protecting thinking and behavior that
promote the fulfillment of security needs through interaction
with people.
The AGGRESSIVE/DEFENSIVE Styles (7, 8, 9, and 10 o'clock
positions) reflect self-promoting thinking and behavior used to
maintain one's status/position and fulfill security needs through
task-related activities.

The raw scores potentially range from 0 to 40. The percentile
scores represent your results compared to those of 9,207
individuals who previously completed the Life Styles Inventory.
For example, a percentile score of 75 means that you scored
higher along a particular position than 75% of the other
respondents in the sample and, in turn, indicates that the style
represented by that position is strongly descriptive of you. In
contrast, a score of 25 means that you scored higher than only
about 25% of the other respondents and therefore indicates that
the style represented by that position is not very descriptive of
you.

Personal Thinking Styles
25
Identify your primary and backup thinking styles: What are your
"primary" (highest percentile score) and "backup" (second
highest percentile) personal thinking styles as shown in your
circumplex? Discuss how your primary and backup personal
styles are manifested in your life and work (see the LSI Self
Development Guide online). Using the style interpretations in
the LSI Guide, describe the styles and give your perceptions
about the results. Do you agree or disagree with them and why?
Identify your limiting style: Identify and illustrate one style you
think might be working against you to reduce your overall
effectiveness. Name the style you have chosen, make a few
remarks about why you are choosing this style as limiting your
professional effectiveness in organizations.
Select one behavior associated with this style that you think you
would like to change and the difference it will make. Be sure to
support your interpretation with examples, etc.
LSI Style Interpretations: Go to the LSI1 Results page, find
your circumplex profile, and click on the circumplex "slice" of
one of the styles. The site will bring you to a customized
interpretation of the style you clicked on. Click on each of the
12 "slices" to see all of the customized style description pages.
Impact on Management Style
35
What impact do your personal styles have on your management
style? Explore and assess the impact of your personal styles on
your effectiveness as a manager in terms of the four functions
of management:
a. Planning;
b. Organizing;
c. Leading; and
d. Controlling.
If you are currently not a manager, assume you are and predict
your effectiveness as such.
Genesis of Personal Style
35
Critically evaluate and explain on how you developed the
personal styles that were revealed in your LSI. What role, for
example, did family relationships, school, organizational
memberships, culture, etc. have in shaping your personal style?
Conclusion and Reflection
25
Think about your LSI results and your responses to the above
questions. Summarize any concluding comments. Close your
paper with a statement of at least one question or goal you hope
your work in MGMT591 will help you to address and comment
with a few sentences to describe the value of this exercise to
your personal and professional development.
Please note: The LSI Self-Development Guide is integrated into
the LSI1 Participant account, and is available after you
complete the LSI Survey and have access to your results. In-
depth and personalized style descriptions can be found by
clicking on the style "slices" of the circumplex. For example, if
you would like to learn more about the Humanistic-Encouraging
style (Style 1), you simply click on the circumplex "slice" for
that style. The same goes for the other 11 styles.
You can find the Challenge of Change and the Self-
Improvement Plan information by using two of the additional
links that become available in you LSI online account after the
survey is complete. These links are "The Challenge of Change"
and "Your Self-Improvement Plan." Good luck with the
exercise!

  • 3.

We support this philosophy through integrated programs, processes and workplace practices that are designed to create partnerships between the organization, its employees and its stakeholders – a total rewards approach. Our total rewards strategy supports an environment where talented, innovative people want to work with strategic objectives to be market competitive, recognize individual performance and reward business results. LONG-TERM HEALTH CARE STRATEGY The lifestyle choices employees make can affect their health and quality of life today and in the future. These lifestyle choices also affect the cost of health care. ND Bakken Oil Company’s Long-Term Health Care Strategy is designed to help manage rising health care costs by supporting employees and their families in living a more healthy life. As health care costs continue to increase, ND Bakken Oil Company is committed to providing opportunities and resources for employees and their families to manage their health, creating a healthier culture at ND Bakken Oil Company’s, and supporting our wellness initiatives. HEALTH MANAGEMENT PROGRAM At ND Bakken Oil Company our employees are our greatest asset! We recognize that our employees’ good health is a
  • 4. critical factor in our continued success. For this reason, ND Bakken Oil Company partners with Heath First to administer our health management program. Based on individual responses to a Health Risk Questionnaire (HRQ), a personalized health report offers each participant personal health information, risk factors and tools for personal health improvement. Behaviors such as smoking, poor diet, and lack of exercise are some of the factors that increase a person’s risk of health problems. Knowledge of these risks helps change behavior, and the health report helps identify any risk areas that may need attention. The HRQ provides a scientific way of turning intuitive knowledge into measurable odds. A Health Management Incentive (HMI) is offered to reward individuals for actively managing their health by completing the health management program each year. ND Bakken Oil Company believes so strongly in “healthy living” that the cash incentive is offered to all regular employees, even those who do not enroll in ND Bakken Oil Company’s medical plan. The focus on making healthy choices is not only for employees, but extends to their families. The HMI for 2013 is $1,000. If an employee chooses to participate, the incentive will be paid based on eligibility and timely completion of the requirements for each phase of the program. WELLNESS COMMITTEES ND Bakken Oil Company believes in providing employees with tools and resources to help make healthy lifestyle choices. The Wellness Committees include employees who represent various departments, act as wellness advocates and are responsible for building interest and participation in wellness efforts at ND Bakken Oil Company. The Wellness Committees’ objectives are to foster an environment that offers healthy lifestyle choices, encourage employees and their families to move to a higher level of health and wellness, and provide tools and resources to support ND Bakken Oil Company’s wellness themes. The Wellness Committees sponsor events around these themes.

The CONSTRUCTIVE Styles (11, 12, 1, and 2 o'clock positions) reflect self-enhancing thinking and behavior that contribute to one's level of satisfaction, ability to develop healthy relationships and work effectively with people, and proficiency at accomplishing tasks. The PASSIVE/DEFENSIVE Styles (3, 4, 5, and 6 o'clock positions) represent self-protecting thinking and behavior that promote the fulfillment of security needs through interaction with people. The AGGRESSIVE/DEFENSIVE Styles (7, 8, 9, and 10 o'clock positions) reflect self-promoting thinking and behavior used to maintain one's status/position and fulfill security needs through task-related activities.

The percentile scores represent your results compared to those of 9,207 individuals who previously completed the Life Styles Inventory.

In contrast, a score of 25 means that you scored higher than only about 25% of the other respondents and therefore indicates that the style represented by that position is not very descriptive of you.
