Promoting Healthy Change with HealthDrive
Motivating individuals towards adopting and sustaining healthy behaviors is the key to translating your investment in workplace health promotion into a strategic business advantage. Research shows that engaging and informing people about their personal health risks facilitates the process of healthy change. This is what HealthDrive HRA is all about.
Beyond Health Risk Assessment
Health Risk Assessment (HRA) is typically viewed as a first and necessary step towards developing a workplace health promotion program. As such, many HRAs are designed and used as 'instruments' to gather information from employees, rather than as tools that are directly useful to employees. HealthDrive is different. Why? Because we believe that the first goal of a HRA should be to help individuals improve their health outcomes, risk status and productivity. In other words, we believe in HRA as a workplace health-intervention in its own right.
HealthDrive Emphasizes Feedback & Education
Where HealthDrive excels and goes beyond traditional HRAs is the quality of its personalized feedback & education. This is critical to motivating individuals towards adopting and/or sustaining healthy behaviors. HealthDrive seamlessly combines strong feedback & education with an easy-to-follow questionnaire and a scientifically-valid prediction engine.
Because personalized feedback & education is integrated into HealthDrive, this component does not need to be delivered as a separate program in addition to a HRA. This makes HealthDrive a powerful solution that simultaneously supports individual efforts to improve personal health and an organization's efforts to improve population health and productivity. And because it is delivered online, it is easy and inexpensive to deploy and requires minimal effort to administer.
