Good Health is Good Business

Start by shifting your focus from paying claims to preventing claims; from sharing costs to saving costs; from replacing employees to retaining employees.

Improving employee health is the key. When you invest your attention and health care dollars in a dynamic employee health improvement program, you can dramatically reduce health care costs, productivity losses, and employee turnover.

Investing in employee health pays off – the average ROI is about 3:1.

Sutter Health Partners is your Wellness Solution
As professionals in employee wellness, we know what you need: A solid, sustainable answer to health care, retention and employee satisfaction. A solution that offers proven results; one that’s easy to integrate into your existing programs, and launch with a minimum of effort. The Sutter Health Partners Live Well for Life health improvement program is that solution.

Proven results make the case for wellness
We know that living well works because we have the data to support it. By targeting specific risk factors, Live Well for Life can help your employees reduce their chances of developing serious health problems such as:

• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• High cholesterol
• Hypertension
• Obesity

When you think about your workforce and the cost associated with replacing key people, Live Well for Life starts to make a lot of sense. By investing in your employees’ health, you are investing in longer, more productive work lives.

Sustainable savings and productivity increases
Live Well for Life delivers long-term, sustainable cost controls. With continuous reinforcement and access to wellness coaching services, employees will sustain their health improvements over time. Not only will you see your health care cost savings grow, you’ll also see absences decline and higher, sustained productivity.

Integration with your existing programs
Live Well for Life integrates and aligns with other programs and services you currently offer. Our Wellness Coaches give your employees personalized and practical wellness solutions that draw from all available resources, including your health care plans, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), company-sponsored fitness discounts and community resources. Our Wellness Coaches work with your employees one-on-one, assessing their individual health needs and providing workable advice and solutions.

Exceptional Participation and Satisfaction Ratings
Employers who have worked with us report higher than average employee participation rates – typically between 55% and 65%. What’s more, program satisfaction consistently ranks in the 90th percentile. With Live Well for Life, you’ll be investing in a program that your employees will use and appreciate.

On-site Coaching – the key to positive change
Success rates of any health improvement program increase when personalized coaching is part of the process. While telephonic or group support services do make a difference, nothing works like the high touch experience of one-on-one coaching. Sutter Health Partners’ Wellness Coaches are trained professionals who use proven “best-practice” techniques to help employees adopt and sustain healthy lifestyle changes.

Sutter Health Partners Wellness Coaches are the key to integration – they know where to find answers for your employees, within your benefits program and within your community.
