CHICAGO, March 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Interactive Health today named 184 employers as the "Healthiest Companies in America," an annual award that recognizes businesses that are investing in and improving their employees' health.

Interactive Health helps companies solve for rising healthcare costs and encourages employees to adopt better habits at a time when the average life expectancy of an American is actually shortening, with obesity and diabetes as significant contributing factors.

To be recognized, honorees reached or exceeded an exemplary 70 percent participation rate in their workplace wellness program and their workforce's overall health risk was low, based on the results of an annual health evaluation that involves a blood draw, lab tests and a detailed questionnaire. This evaluation is often more thorough than what patients receive during routine visits to primary care doctors. This new knowledge motivates people to adopt new habits, which Interactive Health supports through year–round personalized digital tools, coaching and other resources for each participant. Participant results included:

  • 75 percent of participants who were at risk for hypertension made changes and are no longer at risk
  • 40 percent of participants in a high risk range migrated to a healthier state
  • 42 percent of participants in a moderate health risk range moved to a healthy status
  • Lower overall emotional health risk than Interactive Health's book of business

For employers, the benefits are just as transformative. Companies recognized by Interactive Health benefit from higher productivity, lower medical costs, fewer workers' compensation and disability claims, and reduced absenteeism.

"Rush prides itself on providing a healthy, supportive work environment for our employees," said Cynthia Bik, program manager for benefits and wellness with Rush System for Health, which was among the employers recognized by Interactive Health. "As caregivers, the health and safety of our patients is the priority, and in order to provide the best care, it is imperative that our staff have access to resources that help them maintain healthy habits themselves. This recognition reinforces our commitment to valuing and supporting our employees' health so that we can continue to do what we do best – care for others."

Of the 184 recognized employers, 131 are repeat winners in the 11 years since Interactive Health began recognizing the country's healthiest companies. Over 32 businesses and organizations have reached this list for five years or more, while one company – Nature's Sunshine, based in Lehi, Utah – has won the award every year.

"It is truly magnificent to see our customers achieve this rate of employee participation in their wellness programs, supporting an overall healthy workforce," said Interactive Health President and CEO Bill Goldberg. "I am inspired to see how many organizations have reached this achievement this year—and how many additional employers were extraordinarily close to attaining this goal. All the investment they've put into supporting their employees' health has paid off. Employees enjoy healthier lives, while employers benefit from enhanced productivity and lower healthcare costs. It's truly a win–win combination."
