Balance

Helping improve the wellness of your employees is one of the best long-term strategies for reducing your company’s health care costs. But transforming unhealthy lifestyles is not easy. That’s why our Balance program focuses on the five key behaviors that have the greatest effect on both your employees’ health and the overall health of your organization:

• Tobacco Cessation: features an educational program and a personalized “quit” plan.
• Weight Management: features everything from dietary education to personal coaching.
• Stress Management: teaches how to identify stress triggers and apply coping techniques.
• Physical Activity: helps members set achievable goals and stay motivated.
• Diet and Nutrition: focuses on making meaningful changes in one’s diet.

Balance is not about dispensing “how to” advice. It’s about coaching members to create their own plan of change through:

1. Understanding the total effect of unhealthy behaviors on their overall health status.
2. Realizing the impact unhealthy choices and behaviors are having on their life.
3. Envisioning how their lives could be better by making healthier choices.
4. Identifying the daily situations that spark these behaviors and deciding how to deal with those situations.
5. Building and following a personalized strategy to change and improve lifestyle choices.
