24. SMART Health Partners, LLC Maximizing Workforce Health WELLNESS AS A BUSINESS STRATEGY Nora Tsivgas President & CEO

25. How Is Wellness a Business Strategy?  PEOPLE – Employee satisfaction is the #1 metric used to assess the impact of benefit design changes and programs implemented to support healthy behaviors.  PRODUCTIVITY – Healthy employees miss fewer days of work and are more productive at work.  PROFITABILITY -- Utilization of prevention and wellness strategies leads to lower utilization of the most costly health services. Healthy Employees = Increased Profitability

26. Wellness as a Business Strategy People are motivated by the health benefits they receive from your company and those benefits can be leveraged to motivate healthy behavior choices that can increase the value of your workforce. A healthy workforce costs your company less. Healthy employees are more productive and incur fewer health complications that cost your company in lost work days and higher claims costs. Preventive health strategies keep your employees well – physically, mentally, emotionally and don’t require exorbitant financial investments. Building a culture of health within your company can be an effective and measurable business strategy. A strategic approach to managing your company’s investment in health benefits and programs is essential in these days of rising healthcare costs. Benefits Health Wellness

27. The Call to Action is Hard to Ignore 75 % % of US healthcare dollars spent in 2007 on treating patients with one or more chronic diseases * Non-institutionalized U.S. population http://www.fightchronicdisease.org/pdfs/2009_PFCDAlmanac.pdf General Population 96 % Medicare 83 % Medicaid In a five year span, two- thirds of the rise in healthcare spending was due to the rise in treating chronic diseases.* - Many cases could be prevented. - Most could be better managed. 2/3

28. Prevention vs. Chronic Disease - Reverse the “Flow”  Costs follow risk – the greater the number of risk factors, the higher the cost  A culture of health that promotes healthy behaviors may prevent or slow progression of disease and keep employees as healthy and low cost as possible – to the left side of the risk continuum Disease – with Complications Established Disease General Wellness $ Presence of Risk Factors for Disease Edington DW.

39. How Does Productivity Affect Profitability GAINS Days of physical presence at work Hours mentally present at work Bursts of creativity that result in meaningful outcomes Brand Stewardship LOSSES Absenteeism Presenteeism Time spent distracted by family/personal responsibilities / stress Productivity: Measurable production per employee or group per time period X# of cars washed per day X# of phone calls handled per hour

40. Lost Productivity Has a Measurable Impact (Total # of employees * prevalence) * (average annual salary * % avg productivity lost) = Annual $ lost productivity due to that condition Example: 200 employees with a 17.5% prevalence of flu, an average annual pay of $50,000, losing 4.7% productivity due to flu (equivalent of 7 days out of work and 7 days at half presenteeism = $70,000/year

41. Worksite health promotion programs can yield a $3 to $6 return on investment for every dollar spent over a 2- to 5-year period 46% of employees participating in on-site smoking cessation program quit; 48% smoked less – L-3 Communications Classes and fitness training offered to prevent back injuries resulted in increased employee morale, reduced worker’s comp claims, medical costs and sick days related to back injuries producing a net cost- benefit ratio of 1 to 1.79 – County in California Participants in their “Stay Alive & Well” program significantly lowered cholesterol levels, blood pressure and weight and experienced 21% lower lifestyle-related claim costs than non-participants. Resulting savings: $127.89 per participant with a benefit to cost ratio of 1.68 to 1 over two years. – Reynolds Electrical & Engineering Company, Las Vegas 22% fewer admissions to a hospital, 29% shorter hospital stays, and 42% lower expenses per admission – Superior Coffee and Foods, Illinois Employees whose lifestyles included two to four health risks such as smoking, little exercise, overweight— were 75% higher than those of low-risk employees. High-risk employees who improved their health habits through the company’s health promotion program and became low risk cut their average medical claims in half, lowering their medical insurance costs by an average of $618 per year. – Steelcase ¹Harvard Business Review, December 2010, W. Braun, What’s the Hard Return on Employee Wellness Programs? Reference: The Cost Benefit of Worksite Wellness, www.welcoa.org/Worksite_cost_benefit.htmlwww.welcoa.org/Worksite_cost_benefit.html J&J‘s leaders estimate that wellness programs have cumulatively saved the company $250 million on healthcare costs over the past decade, from 2002 to 2008, the return was $2.71 for every dollar spent.¹
