Turn Employees into Active Health Care Consumers
Turning employees into active consumers of health care unleashes new ways to stem soaring costs and leads your people to better health. Watson Wyatt can show you how.
Companies that beat the trend toward rising health care benefit costs share a common achievement: they've increased employee accountability for those costs. Our research shows that high-performing companies, who also emphasize the health of their employees, are seeing 5 percent cost increases, versus 15 percent for poor performers.
Using our evidence-based approach, we can help you achieve similar results with the right mix of financial incentives, health management, information and self-service tools, deployed with sensitivity to your unique employee populations.
We redefine health care benefit programs with a proven framework for strengthening your benefit strategy through consumer empowerment. We help make your employees more prudent buyers of health care services by giving them more choices and more responsibility. We focus on engaging your employees not only when they elect coverage, but also when they receive care.
A powerful team of professionals — including physicians, health care managers, and technology and communication experts — has the experience, proven methods and practical know-how to customize an integrated approach for your organization.
