Subj: Support for Upcoming Wellness Screenings
As part of our strategy to enhance the health of our employees, XYZ has invested in an onsite health
screening and coaching service. The program has documented results that (1) support our effort to stem
the rise in health care costs and (2) have also positively impacted recordable injuries, absenteeism and
short-term disability.
Maximize return on investment by encouraging participation
In order to maximize our return on investment, we need managers to encourage (voluntary) participation at
a health screening with a goal of 65% participation. Our health screening project team has created a
schedule to work with supervisors to achieve little or no impact on our work flow. The time required to
participate in the health screening is 20 minutes.
Health Plan Incentive
Employees who complete the health assessment process will not have to pay an increased health plan
contribution of $xx per month.
Participation as a Metric
We will be benchmarking our actual program participation with other companies in our industry that have
also invested in wellness initiatives. Thank you in advance for encouraging your employees to participate
in this very important health initiative. I look forward to seeing you there!

• How do you define success?

Emphasis on Effectiveness
![Page 38: Top 10 Best Practices for Employee Wellbeing.May.2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef19381a28ab5f788b4629/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Let’s Begin with ROI and VOI
• Return on Investment (ROI) generally encapsulates specified wellness
programming with medical plan costs to track if interventions produce
qualitative changes. Too many variables impact overall ROI (best not
to claim wellness had most impact on ROI)
• Value on Investment (VOI) is broader than ROI in that it consists
primarily of qualitative elements such as improved performance of the
workforce, recognition as an employer of choice, and high employee
retention. Although sometimes considered a soft savings, in most cases
it can be discretely quantified with a combination of company metrics
and health and wellness data. Most can embrace VOI and the impact
of business investment in wellness on key goals.
