Before your employee’s health takes a turn, they should have a team to turn to.

Employees with chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and/or weight management issues can benefit from support and guidance. Even employees without any conditions but who may be at-risk or those who are simply looking for additional support for prevention can benefit from personalized goal setting that guides them towards a sustainable and healthy lifestyle. The health coaching program is designed to do just that by offering one-on-one coaching from a unique network of pharmacists*, nurses and dietitians.

With a team by their side, employees and their families can learn how to manage and live well with their condition. Employers may also benefit from more engaged and supported employees, as well as a reduction in costs to their benefits plan.

47%

of employees with chronic conditions miss work, or find it harder to do their job.

Because chronic conditions come to work

What we know is that 47% of employees with chronic conditions miss work or find it harder to do their job.1 Between diagnosis and check-ups, the current healthcare system may not offer continuous care. This gap in the system ends up bringing productivity down and benefit costs up. The health coaching program is as much of a business tool as it is a workplace tool.
