The Situation
The CEO of one of the largest commercial truck dealer groups in the U.S. approached Corporate HealthPartners. Caring deeply for the corporate family, the CEO wanted to implement an effective corporate wellness program to improve employee health.
With 11 locations throughout central Georgia and Alabama, the employees were 84% male and an average age of 44 years old. They had transitioned from a fully insured health plan to a self-funded health plan in 2015.
The Work
The company engaged in Corporate Health Partners’ comprehensive and systematic Prima corporate health program in 2015. Utilizing health informatics to drive employee health and wellness solutions, Corporate Health Partners provided overall program management and year-round health promotions with biometric screening, lunch and learns, challenges, health coaching, wellness team oversight, and more.
Corporate Health Partners’ wellness coaches had 15-minute face-to-face meetings with employees on a frequency determined by their risk level.
The CEO, Director of HR, and the employee health and wellness team proactively and visibly supported the Prima corporate wellness program.
