A Community Based Proactive Health Care
Model Original Airdate: 1/23/2013 The Greater Somerset Public Health Collaborative (GSPHC) in Somerset County, Maine in partnership with HERO, The Maine Health Access Foundation and Medical Care Development developed a community-based employee wellness program for very small businesses and demonstrated that small businesses within a community can join together to offer their workers wellness activities that would not normally be economically feasible for groups their size. This model complements national health reform, which proposes models to allow small employers to group together to purchase coverage. Large employers understand that wellness and prevention form a continuum with insurance; indeed, as the law permits, employers and insurers offer incentives for wellness. By creating a project that gave small employers a similar opportunity to jointly obtain worksite wellness; this project was able to develop a prototype of a complementary product that can be used to offer a full spectrum of health, wellness and medical care protection for small and very small employers.

Organizational Energy: A Primer on Improving Health Original airdate 7/11/2012
View the recording Organizations worldwide are facing a human energy crisis. One only has to review the data on disengagement to realize that change is inevitable, but the question is, “How to Change?” Energy is our most critical human resource, however most people fail to manage energy effectively. Whether real or perceived, most professionals describe their lives as running out of time, low on energy (especially at the end of the day), compromised performance, and so on. Our business routines have often been characterized by non-stop meetings, endless conference calls, and energy-zapping operational modes. Learning how to effectively manage one’s energy in four dimensions (physical, emotional, mental, and aligned to one’s mission or purpose), people can learn how to meet the ever-increasing demands in their lives, improve their personal and professional performance, and improve their personal health and happiness. This webinar will briefly examine the problems we face, and offer time-proven strategies on how to view and manage energy as one way to improve the health and performance of our employees.

A Strategic Approach to Employee Well-Being and Organizational Performance David W. Ballard, PsyD, MBA, Assistant Executive Director, American Psychological Association Connie Roy-Czyzowski, SPHR, CCP, Vice President, Human Resources, Northeast Delta Dental Original airdate: March 21, 2012 Watch the webinar View the presentation Summary: Although the importance of a healthy workforce has come to be generally accepted, many employers remain frustrated that their wellness efforts are falling short in terms of both employee and organizational outcomes. This webinar will go beyond the fragmented approach of one-off programs to present a comprehensive, systems-based framework for promoting a workplace culture where both employees and the organization thrive. Using the American Psychological Association’s healthy workplace model, participants will examine the key characteristics of a healthy, high-performing organization, with special attention given to the importance of custom tailoring workplace practices to meet the unique needs of an organization and its workforce. Case examples from award-winning Northeast Delta Dental will demonstrate the application of psychologically healthy workplace principles in a real-world setting, with an emphasis on practical considerations and lessons learned.
