Employers have an incentive to help their employees live healthier lives: healthy employees are more productive, and have lower healthcare costs,have at least one major chronic disease, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity or hypertension.
The challenges facing employers are significant—from the rising cost of chronic disease to the acceleration of hybrid and remote models, and an increasingly virtual and connected work environment. The best leaders embrace these challenges, using them as an opportunity to adapt their benefits strategy and design.
By allowing employees to opt-in to the Teams integration, employers can better support those who want the daily encouragement and support on their health journey. This support could look like sending a message to our interactive chat bot on Teams, where users can set reminders for their care, learn about their benefits, or ask health information.
“With a 3.5x ROI, Teladoc Health’s Diabetes Management program is an invaluable addition to our benefits offerings,” said Anita Tucker, Senior Health and Welfare Benefits Manager, Reynolds Consumer Products. “But the true return on investment is our employees’ improved physical, mental and financial wellbeing.”
As employers continue to navigate a challenging benefits landscape, focusing on ways to remove barriers for employees—whether that’s adding a virtual solution or prioritizing a seamless “front-door” experience to address point-solution fatigue; employers are providing real value for their employees. Additionally, it’s important to make sure that these tools work for the people you serve, even as work models continue to evolve.
