Tobacco and alcohol use, obesity, stress, physical inactivity and poor nutritional habits can have a significant effect on your workforce. Encouraging healthy behaviors may impact more than your organization’s financial statement - it can help reduce absenteeism and increase productivity among your employees.

Lifestyle Management Online includes online coaching and communities that offer diet and nutrition tips, exercise advice and healthy living plans. The voluntary program is accessible through secure log-in and participation does not affect benefit coverage. Lifestyle Management Online includes the following components:

MyHA
At the heart of the Lifestyle Management Online program is the interactive MyHealth Assessment (MyHA), a comprehensive tool that analyzes health risks based on responses to questions about family and personal medical history, lifestyle behaviors, readiness to change, biometric and demographic information. MyHA identifies 12 specific health risks and up to 11 chronic health conditions, prioritizes their importance to health and determines an overall MyHA score. Presented as a summary report, the MyHA score provides insight into one’s risk level for factors such as alcohol and tobacco use, blood pressure, diet, physical activity and stress, among others. MyHA also creates a personal risk report for each risk factor. The personal risk report provides a clear action plan for increasing one’s score and decreasing the risk of developing chronic related conditions. MyHA can be retaken over time to measure results.
