Illuminate workforce risks and opportunities

LifeWorks Wellness Solutions include our market-leading health risk assessment and effective health and fitness coaching for employees. Our wellness solutions umbrella provides the critical information needed to identify risks, but also gives employees the tools and support to address those risks.

Integration with existing programs

Our Wellness Solutions integrates with your existing programs and strategies - including solutions from companies other than LifeWorks. Working hand-in-hand with the employee support services and solutions you already have such as an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) means your employees have a seamless experience as they are directed to easily navigate the most beneficial interventions and solutions. Further, our Total Health Index (THI) also complements existing health risk data you may already have with additional analysis for more comprehensive detection for your at-risk employees.

Next-generation HRA: Total Health Index (THI) Discovery

The THI Discovery™ survey is the industry’s most robust employee health risk assessment combined with employee engagement and a productivity metrics survey for the global workforce. Data across four dimensions creates one comprehensive and powerful picture of total health for the employee and your organization:

Physical: biometrics, nutrition, physical activity and more
Mental: stress, anxiety, coping skills and more
Work: engagement, productivity and resilience
Life: financial security, relationships and work-life blending

The assessment is much more than just a compilation of current and historical employee health information. It’s a robust, comprehensive view of employee well-being that covers four critical dimensions of well-being.

Improve employee health and workplace results

By completing their THI, your employees know their Total Health scores and then what they can do to improve total wellbeing. These insights include direct, actionable steps, and encouragement so employees are motivated to actively participate in achieving better wellbeing.

From an organizational perspective, employers gain a birds-eye view of what’s needed and can then seamlessly direct employees to specific solutions within your support services network. It is also a global solution that covers employees wherever they’re located. The result is a healthier workforce with reduced healthcare-related costs, fewer absences, and better productivity.

Motivational and professional coaching for better health and fitness

Our health and fitness coaches help employees understand their current health status, impact of their health risks, and the steps they can take to be well and stay well. Telephonic consultations and online chat are available for employees to receive practical, personalized support at times that are convenient for them. These interventions for at-risk employees play a significant role in improving employee satisfaction and engagement as they take healthy steps that yield real results. Coaches address employee health factors including:

Weight management
Healthy eating
Smoking cessation
Responsible alcohol use
Stress management
Exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle
