Healthy Workforce Program: How Workers' Comp and Wellness Programs Go Together

摘要

Most successful businesses are beginning to understand that the reactive approach to employee health - providing Group Health insurance to cover employees when they get sick - is far less effective than one that combines preventive efforts with transparent/reactive medical services. Adding a traditional "Wellness" program to group health benefits used to be the first step for employers who want to "proactively" reign in their increasing group healthcare costs. This approach is slow, sometimes ineffective, and difficult to measure success. More importantly, this philosophy is becoming obsolete.
