Wellness 37. Describe how you incorporate wellness initiatives into your overall plan designs.
• There are many different ways to incorporate wellness into your company’s benefits program and plan designs. Our team will help determine appropriate plan alterations by either making small adjustments to cater to employee specific needs, or in some cases implementing an entirely new program. Some of the items that we use and study to create wellness initiatives include: o Monitoring employee needs and interest o Conducting screening events o Health education and promotion activities
o Health risk assessments o On-site medical clinics o Measuring and managing employee fatigue o Activities to relieve employee stress 38. What resources does your company have to assist with wellness initiatives?
• Yates partners with many third party wellness companies, whether it be directly with a carrier or a third party administrator that we implement for our clients. Working with these groups gives us access to the following resources: o Wellness coordinators o On-site screenings o Health fairs o Reward programs 39. What steps do you take to help a company assess potential for implementation of wellness initiatives? • We encourage the use of surveys, focus groups and health risk assessments to learn more about the health status and interest areas of your employees. We work with our clients to determine the areas of interest and level of anticipated engagement from your employees to help decide the different forms of wellness programs and initiatives best suited for their company. • Areas of focus include disease prevention, fitness, smoking cessation, alcohol and substance abuse counseling, nutrition education, weight loss and stress management, etc. To encourage employee engagement, your program must fit what they perceive to be a need in order to address their willingness to participate.
