Use Health Risk Assessment (HRA) Software to Create Wellness Programs
Health risk assessments (HRAs) have traditionally formed the foundation of corporate health and wellness programs. HRAs assess an individual’s health status and identify any potential health risks. Use the results from an HRA to create a program that guides companies and program participants on how to manage and reduce health risks and healthcare costs.
Use Functional Fitness Testing (FFT) Software to Create Wellness Programs
Functional fitness testing (FFT) is a safe and effective way to assess the fitness level of an employee and track their fitness progress over time. Use functional fitness testing to track the company’s employee fitness as a group, and therefore assess the overall success of the wellness program.
Use Physical Abilities Testing (PAT) Software to Create Wellness Programs
Physical abilities testing (PAT) can help you and your clinic create programs that meet the specific needs of a company’s employees. For example, balance testing (a component of physical abilities testing) can help a company identify potential issues in the workplace, like slips, trips, and falls, for employees who regularly use stairs and/or ladders. Use PAT results to create health and wellness programs tailored to the specific physical needs of a company’s employees and help the company save money in workers’ compensation claims.

Types of Corporate Health and Wellness Programs
Participatory Wellness Programs
Participatory wellness programs give a financial incentive to participate without requiring employees to satisfy any health-related condition.
Examples of participatory wellness programs include:
- Reimbursement for a gym membership in a fitness center.
- Providing a reward for participating in a smoking cessation program.
- Providing a reward for completing a health risk assessment regarding current health status without any further obligations or conditions.
Activity-Only Wellness Programs
Activity-only wellness programs require employees to perform an activity that some individuals may be unable to perform or complete based on health status, such as walking, diet, or exercise programs. Activity-only programs require employees to participate, but the employee does not have to attain or maintain a specific health outcome in order to obtain an award.
Outcome-Based Wellness Programs
Outcome-based wellness programs are designed to promote health and/or prevent disease. These programs require that employees attain and/or maintain a specific health outcome in order to obtain a reward. For example, employees obtain an award only after maintaining a specific body weight or body mass index (BMI) score.
