Why Wellness: The Safeway Model

In analyzing health costs the Safeway corporation found that 74% of health costs were due to four chronic conditions: heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity.  Safeway also determined that 70% of health costs were driven up or down by behavior. 

In 2005,  Safeway introduced a wellness program called "Safeway Healthy Measures".  The program targeted four key areas: Weight, Tobacco Use, Blood Pressure and Cholesterol.

Cost Savings:

Over four years, Safeway's per-capita health-care expenses remained flat, while the rest of American business has seen a 40% increase.  Safeway held costs down not by cutting health care or increasing employee costs. They introduced a wellness program that was well received by their employees. 80% of participants rate the program as good or excellent. Read More: Wall Street Journal, 19 June 2009 (Reference)

 Awareness and Intervention

Safeway changed the company culture and employee behavior by educating their employees on the status of their health and then providing support measures to help change behavior. These changes included education and incentives for smoking cessation, healthy nutrition and physical exercise.  

At Wellness 2000 we help companies build these kinds of wellness programs.  They require extensive planning and promotion, but they are affordable by businesses of all sizes.

Why Wellness 2000

Simply stated - we have been doing this for a long time and we have developed a program that works.  Our method generates high participation rates.  To participation we add smart intervention and environmental program changes. This technique produces positive, measurable results. Our programs begin with what we call "Personalized Care".

Personalized Care

Success begins with the individual. We meet each employee, in person, face to face, to talk one on one about their lives and their health. Consultations take place privately and focus on the individual needs of each employee.

Participation

While other wellness programs often have 35% participation rate, our average participation rate is 75%. Why? Because we are actively engaged on a personal level with every person we serve. Getting and maintaining a high participation rate is a key deliverable for our company and for yours.

Prevention

The earlier we catch a medical abnormality, the easier it is to manage, and the less it interferes with every day life. By performing health awareness and intervention measures in a personalized environment, your employees become much more fully involved and committed to changing to healthy behaviors. 

A commitment to good health is a commitment to excellence in the workplace.  Let us build a program for you.
