Corporate Wellness Services

1. On-site Wellness Screening Options
• Health Risk Assessments establish the baseline health risks of the employee population for the corporate leadership and to provide each employee with a baseline of his / her health risks. Solutions for Life can provide an online HRA or a paper assessment. Either HRA format can be done with or without lab analysis and other biometric measurements.
  
  We help employees understand the results of their health risk assessment. Whether at a wellness seminar or one-on-one consultation, we interpret their HRA results and identify the most important lifestyle changes a person can make to manage their health.
• Wellness screenings provide one-on-one consultation after taking the individual’s blood pressure, heart rate, weight and height, and BMI. These screening can be done with and without blood analysis. Based upon these results, the health coaches talk with the employee about his or her results, the health risks that these measurements may indicate and what lifestyle changes they could make to improve their measurements. The coaching concludes with the employee identifying what lifestyle changes he or she might be willing to take and to problem-solve how they will accomplish their plan.
2. Wellness On-site Education – our medical and health education staff provide 30 to 60 minute on-site wellness seminars to your employees. While we have a full curriculum of presentations, we always enjoy the challenge of developing new seminars tailored to your needs. The Solutions for Life presenters are experienced and very effective with any size audience.
3. Health Advising and Coaching – our health educators are skilled at bringing about behavior change and working with individuals on lifestyle behaviors that will help them prevent and address risks for heart disease, diabetes, overweight and obesity. We can provide the health coaching one-on-one at the work site or telephonically.
4. Tracking Success – we track the outcomes. Whether it is tracking individual biometric or behavioral results, employee participation in the wellness activities, or impact on the company’s bottom line, we know that the only way to measure success is to track and measure the outcomes. We work with our corporate clients to establish outcomes measures that will be useful in determining the success of the wellness program to the corporation.
