Rising health care costs are of concern to businesses because of their impact on your bottom line. In response to rapidly increasing costs, employers are becoming more proactive in instituting strategies and programs to reduce overall health care costs, including using health care data to drive health care strategy, placing a great emphasis on health care consumerism, and promoting employee health and wellness.
Unhealthy behaviors are one of the most prominent factors contributing to increasing health risks and, in turn, rising costs. In fact, experts assert that over 70% of health care costs are driven by modifiable lifestyle choices.
Our team takes an integrated approach to health care and understands that the most effective benefit strategies incorporate plan design and benefit options that promote employee health and well-being. SIG recognizes the importance of helping our clients address the health care needs of the chronically ill, provide opportunities for those who are already healthy to remain healthy, and create a culture of health supported by top management and employees. Because of this, our full-time Worksite Wellness Coordinator works closely with SIG’s Medical Director and account management team to assess the needs of your workforce, devise a strategy based on those needs, and implement initiatives aimed at improving the health of your employees and their families.
