IDEAL makes the list - Interactive Health Announces 2014 “Healthiest Companies in America”

Thousands of employees’ lives were transformed – and some saved – by companies honored today as winners of Interactive Health’s “Healthiest Companies in America” award.

For the eighth year in a row, Interactive Health – the country’s leading provider of health management solutions – is recognizing a select group that has embraced the mission of life-changing access to preventive health care in the workplace. This year, there is more than double the number of winners, compared with the previous year. These 158 companies have achieved tremendous success in moving employees from high-risk health status to lower risk and achieving remarkably high employee participation.

“These winners are a perfect example of how health outcomes can be improved throughout America,” said Cathy Kenworthy, president and CEO of Interactive Health. “Working with our company, preventive care programs are about much more than just losing weight or quitting smoking – they are a catalyst to transform the way people look at health, well-being and their lives overall. Heathiest Companies in America winners exemplify the long-term positive effects comprehensive wellness programs can have on the health status of large populations. Our work is done exclusively through our people… it’s personal to us.”

Interactive Health’s workplace wellness programs transform companies and their employees by combining a thorough health evaluation with fast results, supported by a wide range of technology tools and prompt outreach by health coaches. Interactive Health’s engagement is well above norms, with 30 meaningful touch points per year and a 75 percent immediate intervention engagement rate. Members spend an average of 10 minutes per visit on the Interactive Health member website due to relevant two-way content personalized for each individual. Interactive Health has found that meaningful engagement, coupled with features that attract a high level of participation among both employees and spouses, directly translates into better health outcomes. In fact, members who engage with Interactive Health online during their program have a 12% higher rate of achievement of personal health goals. The personalization of these programs, at scale and with extraordinary speed, is possible due to ActiveEngine™, Interactive Health’s proprietary health risk analysis and workflow tool.

Interactive Health continues to innovate and adapt to create flexible programs that achieve the best results, which are exemplified through the success of the Healthiest Companies in America award winners. The diversity of companies represented in this winner’s circle, including size, geography, industry, and length of program, are proof-positive that all companies can both seek and achieve the goal of a healthy workforce.

“Maui Jim is proud to provide our employees a work environment that not only encourages healthy lifestyles and smart choices while in the office, but also offers them tools to champion their own well-being and make lasting behavior changes outside the workplace,” said Rhonda Bessert, Vice President of Human Resources at Maui Jim. “Achieving recognition as one of the Healthiest Companies in America is a testament to our commitment to supporting our employees as they take responsibility for their health.”
