Employers stand to benefit significantly from offering corporate health coaching programs to their staff. First, they benefit from improved productivity and decreased absenteeism, which costs employers in the United States $225.8 billion, or $1,685 per employee, each year according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Additionally, employee wellness programs have proven to lower work-related stress, known as the leading workplace health problem. Finally, health coaching can lower self-funded insurance costs for employers, and unlock better employer insurance premiums from insurance payors, which have more than doubled since 2003.
Kind Health Group programs support the overall goals of Accountable Care Organization (ACO) relationships between employers and healthcare providers. The patient-centered focus on health education, results tracking, and participant accountability delivers results that sustain themselves into the future.
“We teach participants to set specific health-related goals and assume an active role in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Instead of following the old care provider pattern of treating symptoms and diseases, we shift the focus towards preventive care by covering nutrition, exercise, and stress management with long term perspective,” said Dr. Georgine Nanos.
