TEAM FISHEL'S WELLNESS PROGRAM A SUCCESS:
Project Update and Preliminary Results

Participation
Participation was outstanding in Team Fishel’s first annual wellness event. 1,117 Teammates and spouses participated in onsite biometric screenings at over 22 Team Fishel locations. This included 863 health plan participants, as well as an additional 254 Teammates and spouses who voluntarily participated. After the first 3 weeks of coaching calls, over 300 participants have completed their health coaching Review of Findings call.

Awareness and Educational Impact
A key objective of the program focused on the improvement of personal health through improved awareness and education. The initial results suggest the program has made a significant impact with the awareness of Teammate health. This is demonstrated in the difference between Teammates’ self-perception of their health as reported in the survey and the actual biometric health measures:

The results show that only 2% of the participants self-reported that they were in below average or poor health. However, actual biometrics demonstrated that 29% of participants were at high or very high risk. Likewise, 74% of the participants self-reported that they were in good or great health, but only 49% received a passing 71 or higher on the assessment (ideal or low risk.) Finally, there was a significant difference between the number of individuals who self-reported health conditions and the number identified by biometrics.

The health coaches are identifying these differences and talking to Teammates about the risks identified by the HRA in the Review of Findings calls. The coaches are also referring Teammates into CIGNA’s Disease Management Program, Well Aware, as needed or scheduling follow-up coaching calls for those who set goals to improve.

Overall Score
The average wellness score for Team Fishel was 64. This score is an indicator of wellness that takes into account only the scored biometric measurements. This score provides an indication of Teammates’ health status. Team Fishel’s score is below the industry average (manufacturing/ distribution/labor companies) of 68.50. The average result for the entire HealthCheck360° screened population (all industries) is 71.65.

Summary
These preliminary results show a large amount of previously unidentified risk factors. This is consistent with our industry, but several programs are already in place to address the identified conditions. Health coaches will be reviewing individual results with all participants. Health coaches will also refer appropriate Teammates to CIGNA’s Well Aware program. We now have the necessary support structures in place – education through onsite screenings and individualized reports, health coaching, and disease management – so that motivated Teammates have every opportunity to improve their health.
