A Proven Employee Wellness Plan for Dallas Fort Worth Texas Small Businesses Owners.

How a Small Business Leader in Dallas Fort Worth Can Predict the Likelihood of a Major Preventable Health Claim from Use of Group Benefits Advisors' Small Business Employee Wellness Chart

In this example, the president of a small business in Plano suburb of Dallas Fort Worth, Texas decided after completing this chart for her company that she didn't need or want to pay several thousands of dollars to statistically predict the likelihood of a major health claim among the workforce.  She was shocked when she saw the final results of the chart. There were enough obese employees and spouses, and enough smokers, and some of the obese also used tobacco, that she knew that an exact assessment would tell her the same thing:  Her company was highly likely to have a serious major medical claim, incur a disability claim, and at least one or more families would be seriously impacted by the pain, suffering, and cost and possible death from a preventable lifestyle disease.

She decided after reviewing the results that she owed it to the company and to her employees to lead the company, and implement a program to modify the lifestyle choices of her employees.  Again, like the chart, the program developed by Group Benefits Advisors for her firm was simple to understand and to implement, was inexpensive, and in fact has so far saved the company well into six figures by improving the healthiness of the workforce, reducing medical claims and expenses, and reduced lost time due to medical absenteeism.

It should be pointed out that this small business is very typical, with about the same numbers and percentages of overweight/obese employees and dependents and tobacco users as the average Texas business.  What was different with this company was that the company president took action.

The next post will discuss the program implemented, the results to date achieved by the company, and the overall reactions to the plan by employees.
