Case Studies

• Wrest Point Hotel Casino in Hobart, Tasmania, reported a return of $4.87 for every dollar spent on their pro-active Health Management program with Healthy Business. Wrest Point now reports an average of 950 less sick days each year, a decrease of 62.1% compared to previous years. Add to that a total of 48 less workers compensation claims each year, a 36.4% reduction. This program focused on high risk populations, including cleaners, house-keeping, coin clearance and maintenance/cellars and the emphasis was on education programs, immunisation, integrated return-to-work plans and injury prevention/work hardening strategies.

• Providence Health System-Everett (USA) saved an estimated $1.5 million or a cost-benefit ratio of 1 to 4.24 over the three years of an outcomes-based employee health benefits program called the Wellness Challenge. By offering financial incentives to employees who demonstrated responsibility for their health and fitness based on set criteria, the program showed reductions in the use of health benefits, lower medical claims, less absenteeism, and improved health habits. Health care claims were 33.6% lower for employees at Providence Health System-Everett than at nine other similar hospitals.

• Each dollar invested in workplace health promotion yielded $1.42 over two years in lower absenteeism costs at Du Pont Co (USA). Absences from illness unrelated to the job among 45,000 blue-collar workers dropped 14% at 41 industrial sites where the health promotion program was offered, compared with a 5.8% decline at 19 sites where it was not.

• Superior Coffee and Foods, a Bensenville-Illinois-based subsidiary of Sara Lee Corporation, attributes impressive results to the success of the company’s comprehensive wellness program. Superior showed 22% fewer admissions to a hospital, 29% shorter hospital stays, and 42% lower expenses per admission when comparing costs for this division’s 1,200 employees with costs for other divisions. Long-term disability costs were down by 40%.

• With medical costs per employee at $6,000, nearly twice the national average, Union Pacific Railroad (USA) introduced the concept of personal health management to its 28,000 employees, mostly union and blue collar. Beginning with a modest medical self-care initiative at an annual cost of $50 per person, the program achieved net savings of $1.26 million. In addition, a voluntary program to help employees lower health risks projected a cost-benefit ratio of 1 to 1.57 after one year. Employees in a treatment group lowered their risk of high blood pressure (45%) and high cholesterol (34%); others moved out of the at-risk range for weight problems (30%); and 21% stopped smoking.
