Our Values
- Development of a healthy workforce requires strategies that include multiple levels of the social ecological model, including: interpersonal, institutional, community and policy levels
- Individual health behavior change requires informational, behavioral and policy/environmental interventions
- A health and wellness campaign built through community member engagement (community-based) has the best chance for acceptance and success
- Cross-cutting intervention strategies towards benefit cost containment include:
- Education towards a clear understanding of benefit plan designs and alternatives
- Opportunities for informed choices for health care
- Collaborative efforts towards benefit cost containment.
- An effective campaign makes healthy choices easier and more accessible, encourages employees to transition from extrinsic to intrinsic incentives, and contributes significantly to employee satisfaction and productivity
- Worksite wellness initiatives are most effective when coupled with the engaged support of employees’ health care providers
Our Vision
- Positive participation by employees and their families in interventions that impact knowledge, attitudes, discourse and behaviors regarding health and health care management
- Interventions at multiple levels of influence for a culture of health that is sustainable at a neutral cost
- Institutional endorsement of policies and environmental changes that provide support for a culture of health
- Collaborative support by employees’ health care providers
- Demonstrable improvement in health behaviors and engagement with cost containment efforts
