Good Health = Good Sense |

It is hard to focus on your job when you are worried about a health problem. We all know someone who comes to work, but has their mind somewhere else. There's even a word for it now: "presenteeism," and it costs employers as much or more than absenteeism. Matria demonstrates the value of the disease management program through direct health care cost savings as well as through indirect gains in productivity as behavioral style changes begin to positively impact absenteeism and presenteeism rates. We also regularly track and report on a wide range of program outcomes, including:
- Improvements in ER and hospitalization rates that drive high costs.
- Improvements in participants' mental and physical health that allow them to feel better, do better and improve the quality of their life and work.
The bottom line is that healthier employees are crucial to lowering healthcare costs, reducing missed work days and improving productivity.
When you consider the fact that 50 to 70 percent of the dollars spent on health care are due to the lifestyle-related illnesses, Counties can't afford not to worry about the health of their employees. Because TAC HEBP is a member-owned health care pool, we take the long term view. We are committed to bringing our members the best available programs to keep your employees as healthy as possible. In the long run, it is one of the best investments we can make!
