Workplace Wellness Programs to Reduce Workers' Compensation ...

Blog by: Garry Watts, CPCU, CRM

By implementing workplace health initiatives, many companies are taking proactive measures to help with decreasing health issues affecting their employees. This is particularly important because of the following:?

The working population is aging, with the national average around 46 years old.
There is a decreasing number of skilled workers, increasing the number of on-the-job injuries.
Obesity rates are astronomical and continue to rise.
There is a steady increase of inactivity among Americans.
Medical care costs continue to rise.
There is an increase in stress-related illnesses.
Approximately 90 percent of Americans are living with some chronic condition, such as diabetes, asthma, thyroid disorders, etc.
Most importantly for risk managers, non-work-related health issues directly increase the risk of work-related injuries.

Getting Employees Healthy

To assist your employees in getting healthy, staying healthy and consequently reduce their risk of a workplace injury or illness:

Create an employee safety education committee devoted strictly to health problems that correlate with injuries.
Teach employees how to properly investigate accidents and determine ways in which they could be prevented. This may include:
- Ergonomics evaluations
- Lift equipment evaluations
Offer personal health profile screenings for employees to identify their risk factors. This should include screenings for cholesterol, bone density, glucose, body mass index, etc.
Provide personalized health coaching and self-help materials.
Offer quarterly corporate challenges to promote weight loss and activity.
Offer quarterly educational safety and health seminars.
Consider implementing a cross-promotional safety and health program with your health care provider.
Provide incentives to employees who fulfill health-related goals, or remain free from injuries for an established amount of time.
Refer all employees who suffer a work-related injury to the wellness program coordinator for a consultation.
