Solano County received the award for their innovative “Know Your Numbers” financial wellness campaign. In addition, their ”Ergo Express” ergonomic injury prevention program. This was promoted through their wellness program and conducted by Risk Analysts.
Amazingly, Solano County’s workers’ compensation costs related to ergonomic injuries decreased from $478,380 during the first quarter of 2017 to $67,888 during the same three months of 2018.
Ergonomic injury costs decreased by over $410,000 in one year. The amount paid out in claims dropped from $205,000 to $4,000!
The organization credits the sharp decrease to the May 2017 launch of the Ergo Express program. The program introduced a simple checkbox form for 15-minute visits. Teams adjusted office equipment and educated staff to reduce repetitive task injuries.
The Financial Wellness program offers an online workplace education forum. It delivers communications, resources, and events that support financial planning and reduce stress. The Knowing Your Numbers campaign covers credit scores, interest rates, and retirement formulas. It also addresses Social Security, Medicare, and emergency funding needs.
Taking Advantage of Wellness Platform Tools to Create Engaging Programs
Lyta Hamm, Solano County’s wellness coordinator credits a large part of their success to CoreHealth’s corporate wellness software’s features and functionality:
“Our wellness platform, My Well Site, was instrumental for conducting the ”Know Your Numbers” financial wellness promotion; we could not have been as successful or served as many employees as efficiently without it!” says Lyta Hamm, Wellness Coordinator for Solano County. “We were able to easily design and build a custom financial wellness challenge to target and track our specifically chosen financial behaviors. The health tip feature allowed us to design custom financial wellness tips from information provided by our community expert partners. The platform helped with the event portion of our promotion, with the calendar and event management feature efficiently facilitating the chore of coordinating the sign-ups for 25 sessions of financial education Lunch and Learns.”
In May 2018, Solano County was also recognized by Kaiser Permanente’s 2018 Wellness Ambassador awards program for their rockstar approach to employee wellness! Read the blog Solano County Recognized for Employee Wellness Program Success.
