What's a health coach?
Think "personal trainer" - outside the gym. Health coaches provide individuals with confidential telephone-based support, guidance, and encouragement to better manage their lifestyle-related health risks at home and in the workplace.
A win-win solution.
Health coaching - especially when preceded by a health risk assessment - is a proven way to reduce health claims, workers' compensation claims, and absenteeism due to illness and disability. WellsourceŽ health coaching solutions are a win-win for both you and your employees.
- Employees are more likely to make lifestyle changes and stay on track with their health goals - whether it's to lose weight, get fit, or quit smoking.
- Employers enjoy the benefits of healthier employees and lower illness-related costs, which translate into a positive economic return on your worksite wellness investment.
Empower long-lasting change.
Making lifestyle improvements can be difficult. Health coaches help identify an individual's strengths and empower them to succeed by focusing on lifestyle-related behaviors that they want to - and can - change.
Why telephone-based coaching?
The health coaches used by Wellsource are able to guide people at any stage of readiness with professional, confidential, one-on-one support.
- Trust: Participants develop a trusting relationship with their coach and are more likely to openly discuss their health problems - a key to positive behavior change.
- Accountability: Frequent, ongoing contact creates a "buddy" system that increases the likelihood of a person following through on stated goals.
- Portability and Flexibility: Because WellsourceŽ health coaching is telephone-based, coaching can take place anywhere throughout North America. Calls are conveniently made around the participant's schedule-anytime during the day or evening.
