In 2010-2012 employees and their spouses/domestic partners will continue to participate in the wellness assessment and individual action plans to earn the silver or gold out of pocket expense levels. We have enhanced the program based on employee feedback and long term program objectives.
Employee feedback Feedback gathered through an annual employee survey, bi-annual spartner survey and lots of phone calls to BROS indicate you wanted us to:
Eliminate waiting time in the process
Create equity between coaching alls and activity logging
Expand the choices of individual action plans
Improve the coaching program
Reduce confusion related to progress tracking
Operationally, we wanted to sustain and build on behavior change achievements, and eliminate operational inefficiencies. We also wanted to save money.
Program Enhancements These program enhancements will respond directly to employee feedback.
No waiting. Find out your wellness assessment results and start your individual action plan right away.
Everyone will have the same milestones for achieving gold.
Greater choice in individual action plans. New individual action plans give people more choice about how to maintain or improve their health.
Track your progress on the road to gold. You will be able to track your progress at each step of the way on the road to gold.
The quality of coaching will be vastly improved. Additionally, employees and their spartners can expect to see these changes
Easier process. The wellness assessment and individual action plans will be available from one portal page that puts you in the driver’s seat for better health.
The Health Reform Initiative is able to deliver these changes at an annual cost savings of $500,000 to the county.
More information to come
We are excited to unveil further details of the program to employees beginning this fall. We will conduct an extension outreach and education campaign to introduce you to the enhanced program and let you talk to us face to face about what’s new.
