The Society for Human Resource Management reports that 70% of U.S. employers now offer wellness programs, up from 58% in 2008, 当他们第一次开始调查公司的健康福利时.
这些公司大多出于短期考虑:降低公司的医疗成本. 不幸的是，这些公司中的大多数并没有从他们的项目中看到多少成功.
At Barry-Wehmiller, our primary motivator is caring.
外围十大菠菜app挑战自己，从关怀而不是成本的角度来看待外围十大菠菜app的福利项目. 外围十大菠菜app致力于成为一个以人为本的组织，这要求外围十大菠菜app以团队成员的健康和福祉为优先事项做出福利决策. And that means offering more than programs to improve the bottom line. 这意味着投入大量资源来设计健康项目和教育活动, 鼓励和激励外围十大菠菜app的团队成员承担个人责任，更好地管理自己的长期健康. As an organization, 外围十大菠菜app的目标是帮助他们成为最好的自己，外围十大菠菜app意识到这只有在他们感到安全的时候才有可能, healthy and fulfilled.
在第一年专注于激励外围十大菠菜app的团队成员拥抱更健康的生活方式之后, we were thrilled to see positive outcomes like these:
- 30% increase in doctor visits, mostly for preventive screenings;
- 77% increase in biometric screenings;
- 使用公司补贴的医疗门房服务的人数增加了450%，这有助于团队成员找到高质量的医疗服务, cost-efficient healthcare providers;
- 使用礼宾服务进行处方药审查的团队成员平均可节省数百美元, procedure comparisons, physician recommendations and more;
- 34% reduction in the cost of outpatient surgeries;
- 近30%的医疗计划参保人获得了“更好的你”奖励, 使他们有资格在2016年完成必要的健康活动途径，从而减少每月的保费.
We never imagined we would see such widespread adoption of the program, let alone significant success after a single year! 虽然外围十大菠菜app知道外围十大菠菜app项目成功的最真实的衡量标准在几年后才会出现，但今天做出的更健康的选择应该会减少外围十大菠菜app团队成员未来的健康问题, we are quite proud of the results. In fact, 外围十大菠菜app深受鼓舞，没有像大多数美国公司那样将员工的医疗保险费从中位数提高到高个位数, we are keeping our rates for 2016 the same as 2015.
The biggest benefit, however, is not quantifiable. Just ask Dale Young, one of our long-term team members who, after more than 20 years with BW companies in Wisconsin, recently moved to Clearwater, FL to take on a role with our PneumaticScaleAngelus operations.
After he relocated, 戴尔很忙，他宁愿把找新医生的事再推迟几个月. 但是，实现“做得更好”激励计划要求的最后期限很快就要到了，他还需要做年度体检.
“You know how it is. 我花了很多精力去做研究，去找一个新的医生，我就是没有时间. 所以我联系了Barry-Wehmiller提供的帮助外围十大菠菜app做出医疗决定的服务，他们为我找到了一位医生，并预约了时间,” said Dale.
在体检时，医生在戴尔的背上发现了一个奇怪的小雀斑. He removed the freckle and skin around it and ordered a biopsy. Dale wasn’t overly concerned. “我一生都住在威斯康辛州，在那里我的后背很少见到阳光. 我只是想，在佛罗里达，人们经常在阳光下晒太阳，医生们对任何看起来有点奇怪的东西都非常谨慎.”
When Dale returned a week later for the follow up appointment, his doctor said “Well, I just saved your life. 那个斑点在不到两周的时间内就会变成一个完全成熟的黑色素瘤，并且会杀死你.”
戴尔还记得，当他意识到可能发生的事情的严重性时，他开始颤抖. 如果不是Barry-Wehmiller的健康计划，他可能会面临死刑.
“如果我没有被要求在截止日期前做体检，以获得‘更好的你’奖励的话, 我知道我会等到搬家后事情安定下来再去处理. By then it would have been too late. 如果我没有获得帮助我找到医生的服务, I doubt I would have found one on my own that quickly. 再一次，在黑色素瘤变得致命之前发现它就太晚了.
“My doctor said he saved my life, 但我同样要感谢那些激励我把健康放在首位的健康倡议.”
Dale isn’t the only person who feels that way. 另外六名来自北美的BW团队成员站出来告诉外围十大菠菜app, 因为外围十大菠菜app创建了一个项目，鼓励他们更好地管理自己的健康, 他们有动力去做检查，发现可能危及生命的问题.
As far as I’m concerned, 拯救这七名团队成员的生命是唯一重要的衡量标准!
However, due to our medical plan enrollees’ dedication to smarter, healthier decisions this year, we experienced lower overall claims costs and, ultimately, insurance costs for the organization. So, just as we share the cost of healthcare, we felt the right thing to do was share the benefit of the savings. 外围十大菠菜app决定，公平的做法是让那些参加公司医疗计划的团队成员在12月份不用支付医疗保险费. 外围十大菠菜app知道他们会很感激在节日期间得到额外的钱.
戴尔说，公司把省下来的钱分给团队成员是一个很好的姿态. 这表明Barry-Wehmiller的动机不是为公司节省成本. It’s for us to be healthier—for ourselves and our families.” To him, however, 与他9月份的意外之财相比，他薪水中额外的钱只是九牛一毛. “When that checkup saved my life, I felt like I won the lottery.”
