Looking for Wellness
Program Answers?
Organizations
are experiencing the benefits of wellness programs every day. As you may know,
wellness programs can significantly lower health care costs, reduce
absenteeism, and increase productivity. Instead of a “nice-to-have,” they
are now an essential component of employee benefit packages. Yet how do you
develop and maintain wellness programs to meet a variety of wants and
needs?
AHIP provides answers in two online wellness courses:
Wellness, Part One: Wellness,
Prevention, and Value-Based Care
This
course takes a practical approach to worksite wellness, guiding you through
the stages of program development. You’ll learn design principles, goals
and objectives, how to implement and manage wellness initiatives,
techniques for gaining employee participation, and what to expect as a
return on investment. You’ll also examine legal issues, wellness ties to
consumer health plans, and theories on healthy aging.
Wellness, Part Two: Combating
Chronic Diseases through Workplace Wellness Programs
This
course explores why employers are ideally positioned to help combat some of
the nation’s major health problems such as obesity, heart disease, and
diabetes. Part One
establishes the efficacy of wellness programs. In Part Two, you will
take an in-depth look at chronic diseases along with the unhealthy
behaviors that often precipitate illness. You’ll acquire knowledge about
the workplace as a venue for combating disease, the tools in the wellness
arsenal to identify those at risk, and ways wellness approaches can prevent
or slow the progression of serious health conditions.
