Capturing and Keeping Interest
t
The Human Factor
Guess what? Most employees want to change, sometimes desperately, but information that is being delivered doesn’t fit into their reality. The only way to provide this valuable and effective strategy is to include personal connection. Get Real! provides meaningful coaching and content that changes how employees think about their health and well-being and the belief in their ability to achieve their goals.Then, supports their own solutions to improving their lifestyle habits based on what is important to them and what (and when) they are ready to change.
As a former Benefits Consultant, I can relate to the challenges that a company experiences when recommending Wellness Programs to their clients. Keeping employees engaged long enough for them to actually improve their health and well-being takes a multi-pronged strategy that provides a consistent message that is relatable to the majority of the population. A typical wellness program may offer great initiatives like on-site boot camps, periodic newsletters on the benefits of quiona and organic foods, or recommend taking a yoga class to deal with daily stress. Those offerings are great! However, typically a good portion of the population simply can’t relate and therefore don’t participate. We conclude this segment of population just aren’t interested or “ready to change.” High-risk employees are relegated to disease management and we assume the rest just don’t care. Or we throw them a softball and promote a water drinking challenge that may be a start but often doesn't lead anywhere.

and other "break-time" activities that are Inclusive and respectful of time. These activities are best performed on an ongoing basis or as an instructive class
How Success is Measured
Big picture analytics often fail to reveal changes that may be taking place, often concluding there is little value in the wellness investment. The reality is there may be too many immeasurable variables to demonstrate what's really taking place. However, by being on-site, change can be captured through:
Post-Coaching and Sustainability Surveys
Improvements in Biometrics
Increase in EAP and Disease Management usage
Employee evaluations on activities and critiques of the coach’s value to them
Documentation of under or over-care of employee medical utlization
Health care and productivity savings can be reported by comparing the investment in
Get Real! initiatives and actual documented change in the population such as:
Cancelled bariatric surgery
Eliminated or reduced need for Type 2 Diabetes medication
Reduced fibromyalgia symptoms
Fewer ER visits for anxiety/stress-related issues
Increased EAP usage
Improved productivity through stress reduction and validation
Outcomes of employee medical care choices based on educated decisions
As a former Benefits Consultant, I can relate to the challenges that a company experiences in recommending vendors to your clients. Let’s have a conversation and see if we can mutually benefit each other!
Try a Service!
Try a service! No long-term contracts required. Prices are reasonable and include all marketing materials and follow up on-line employee satisfaction and/or change surveys.Services can be a la carte or bundled based on mutually agreed upon on-site time. Consulting services also available.
Packages
The most common method of utiliziing services is to contract for X number of days a week or month. Together we decide what services you would like and we can change it up as we learn more about what employees want and what their needs are.
For Example: If a client would like on-site services one day a week on an ongoing basis, the cost would be $60/hour with a minimum of 6 hours a day (fewer hours will increase hourly rate). On-site time might look like this:
15 minute Stretching or Meditation Session
30 - 60 minute Workshop * and/or
Implement/monitor a program or challenge
30-45 minute 1-on-1 coaching sessions scheduled in advance (approximately 4-8 sessions)
* Cooking Demos extra due to cost of food plus additional prep/clean-up-time
