Wellness Coaches USA’s On-site Coaching ROI Analysis
Date: January 16, 2009

Expert Interview on Wellness Coaching

Wellness Coaches USA announces summary results of an independent analysis conducted by Thomson Healthcare, using their Health & Productivity Management (HPM) Return on Investment Tool (ROI Tool). The ROI Tool, which allows Wellness Coaches USA to forecast the potential impact of its onsite coaching model on future healthcare expenditures and on-the-job productivity, showed that over a period of five years the average ROI was 4 to 1, or $700 per employee.

By reducing health risks, health care expenditures can be reduced, and productivity can be increased, leading to a potential return on investment for Wellness Coaches USA customers.  Therefore, the ROI Tool helps employers answer the question; “What can I expect to save, and what will be the potential return on my investment?”

Summary results from the ROI Tool Analysis

Wellness Coaches USA recently used the ROI Tool for a group of 4,000 employees from 8 of its clients with 11 locations in 10 different states, covering a wide variety of industrial classifications.  To be included in the sample, each client must have utilized Wellness Coaches USA on-site coaching services for at least 1 full year and administered year over year comparative health risk assessments to its eligible employees.  Aggregate data from the health risk assessments was then sent to Thomson Healthcare and entered into their ROI Tool.  The ROI Tool is based upon the premise that demographics and health risks influence medical expenditures and productivity at work.

The ROI Tool’s savings from health risks produced a forecasted 3.7 to 1 return on investment in the 2nd year, representing absolute dollar savings of $940 per employee ($300 per employee in healthcare costs and $640 per employee in productivity costs).  Total program costs were $250 per employee. By the 5th year, the model showed that the forecasted ROI increased to 4.3 to 1, or $1,100 per employee. It should be noted that these ROI and absolute dollar forecasted amounts were based upon current dollar values, without adjusting for any medical cost inflation, or increases in labor costs.
