A Feel-Good Program
Providing the instruments to generate success

Very Well™ delivers the tools and motivation needed for healthy employees that feel good. Just like people, no two businesses are exactly alike, so Very Well’s methods are customized for the specific needs of each company and each individual. With personal, one-on-one coaching at its core, the program also uses a mix of employee health assessments, interactive educational tools, and team support to bring dramatic and lasting changes in areas that can include nutrition, fitness and personal weight, smoking, stress and physical safety.

The program is embraced by employees, their positive view of it colored by the support they receive and by their own successes. Ultimately, Very Well™ has proven to be the most effective, least expensive program of its kind to improve the group health of the entire organization and drop health care costs.

Personal Care, Personal Gains
Our coaches make the difference

In a vast improvement over many traditional "wellness" programs, Very Well™ doesn’t use expensive cash incentives to motivate participation. It doesn't passively make resources available in hopes that employees will suddenly assume the initiative for change. It uses a far more effective motivator: people. Very Well™ coaches are key to its unmatched record of success, deployed into the workplace to provide essential resources and help participants become personally involved in the wellness process.

This method stimulates record-breaking levels of participation, energizing employees to make healthier choices and adopt new habits. Very Well™ coaches visit the work site to counsel and encourage employees to stick to their chosen lifestyle changes. In addition, they enlist full team support from a network of coworkers, families and employers.

Our coaches bring a diverse range of experience to the process of health improvement. With backgrounds in the fields of nursing, nutrition, health promotion, athletic training and exercise physiology, they offer many valuable perspectives on an issue that is by nature complex and multifaceted. Conferring with employees in pre-scheduled, rotating rounds, coaches make themselves available to those who need their services. All work to advance the process of change and encourage people to feel good about improved health.

Well Planned
Know where you’re at and where you’re going

Employee health factors like obesity, smoking, lack of exercise and poor nutrition lead to increased insurance premiums and overall insurance costs. These are all factors that can be changed, leading to healthier employees and lower insurance premiums.

The Very Well™ process starts with a detailed health assessment of every participating employee. A comprehensive questionnaire is completed by each employee and is reviewed by a registered nurse. A detailed breakdown of the results is then provided, presented in easy-to-read charts, which cites current risk factors and goals that should be met to lower insurance premiums.

Armed with this information, Very Well™ then works with you to develop a comprehensive action plan, uniquely designed to address the needs of your organization. For example, the risk factor data could indicate that an area of company concern is a high risk for obesity-related diseases. In a case like this, your solution may include steps as simple as switching vending machine products to healthier choices. You might also choose to work with your Very Well™ Coaches to encourage employees to make time for daily exercise.

Continuing measurements and periodic reports then keep you well informed of the program’s progress along the continuum of success.
