TIPS FROM ANTHEM
Your path to a healthier workplace starts here.
You know that having a healthy workforce is good for your employees and good for your business. But what's the best way for your employees to get started on their personal path to a healthier lifestyle?
Anthem has the answers. Without a doubt, the best time to make a health change is always right now! And the best way to start is by having your employees take the Anthem "MyHealth Assessment".
What is the MyHealth Assessment and how does it work?MyHealth Assessment is Anthem's online health assessment tool and it's available to your employees at anthem.com.
The MyHealth Assessment is basically a health calculator. To use it, your employees first answer some online questions about their health and lifestyle. Then they receive feedback on their health. For instance, they'll learn how they're doing health-wise. They'll learn what they can improve and get some suggestions on how to make those improvements. And they'll learn what health programs their benefit plan offers at no extra cost to them (as long as they qualify).
What does the MyHealth Assessment do for your employees' health?Taking the MyHealth Assessment can set your employees up for long-term health success. That's because setting realistic goals can help make your employees much more likely to achieve them.
They'll be encouraged to use free support tools to extend their healthy lifestyle changes. These include additional wellness information and online resources. Plus, they'll get a health report that they can print out and take to their next doctor visit to serve as a guide in working with their doctor to plan their next steps toward better health.
They'll also get early warnings about possible health risks that need attention. This can help keep minor issues from turning into major ones in the future.So, what's the best thing your employees can do to improve their health this year? Encourage them to take the MyHealth Assessment at anthem.com now to find out.
