Wellco’s new wellness positioning system easily tracks and improves outcomes. Free 7-point assessment and planning guide offer.
Royal Oak, MI, April 25, 2011 — After 6 years of wellness programs, a Michigan plumbing, heating, cooling and electrical company acknowledged participation was lukewarm, outcome data was scarce and they were ready for expert help.
“We have worked with many wellness providers and were previously challenged with engaging our workforce and getting the measurable results needed to combat rising health care costs and direct our resources, said Carol Gatewood, President, AJ Danboise.
Recent surveys reveal that the majority of businesses have some type of wellness program but they don’t have any idea if it is working. Further, according to the latest Health and Productivity Survey by Willis, 38% of worksites do not have enough data to calculate ROI and 32% do not have enough time or staff to measure program success.
Wellco recently launched the first and only system to track company wellness efforts and identify the most effective opportunities. The product, called Wellness Positioning System™ (WPS), incorporates data from wellness programs and health benefits into an actionable WPS Scorecard to improve engagement, outcomes and return on investment. The WPS scorecard incorporates a proprietary 27-point assessment into a dashboard of 4 key opportunities; wellness effectiveness, prevention impact, medical costs and integration.
“Since partnering with Wellco we have achieved 100% wellness program participation and have decreased our medical costs by more than 15%,” Gatewood said. “Wellco fixes health and wellness programs.”
“We’re finding wellness programs in jeopardy because they can’t prove their value to senior leadership,” said Scott Foster, Wellco President. “Until now, businesses didn’t have resources to benchmark and improve wellness outcomes without paying a fortune to giant consulting firms.”
“WPS changes all of that by easily measuring, integrating and guiding programs towards ROI. Wellco is proud to provide businesses with affordable, easy-to-use and reliable comparative information to control health care costs,” Foster said.
