Workshop A: “Fixing Stress”: Informing Health, Productivity & Wellness
• Robert Simon Siegel, CEO, Global Optimal Health Group
• John White, M.D., Chief Medical Advisor, Diagnos-Techs
• Eric Hatzenbuehler, Health & Productivity Consultant
• Tamela Thomas, Wellness Manager, Washington Athletic Club in Seattle
In this session, speakers will present the essential components of practical solutions to
the universal challenge of stress. In delivering a combination of new standards, precise
diagnostic measures, and prevention essentials, speakers will provide attendees insight
on the potential value of stress management as a means to bettering a workforce’s
health and productivity. This session will also focus on the strategic implementation of
innovative stress and wellness management into the workplace. By defining “stress”
as a physiologically foundation of wellness, this session will help attendees use illness
prevention, healthcare costs, productivity, absenteeism, presenteeism to inform exciting
new “health-producing” skills.
Workshop B: Partnership and Prevention: Utilizing Different Health Networks to Prevent
Disease and Promote Performance
• John Sinnot, M.D. Chairman, Internal Medicine, USFHealth
• Antonio Iglesias, Pharm.D., Regional Medical Director, Pfizer, Inc.
Approximately 50,000 adults die each year in the US from vaccine-preventable diseases
such as influenza and pneumonia. To confront this problem, Pfizer collaborated with the
University of South Florida (USFHealth) and Tampa General Hospital to review the use of
vaccines as a method of improving workforce health. The first step in this collaboration
was to model the direct and indirect benefit costs associated with Community Acquired
Pneumonia (CAP). This session will reveal the economic burden of CAP and the advantages
of partnerships to deter CAP incidents. Presenters will discuss the health system’s
direct and indirect benefit costs associated with CAP and annual cost estimates for the
organization’s health, sick leave/absence, short-term disability (STD), and group life
insurance benefit programs. Speakers will then explore how the expansion of employee
coverage for vaccines in partnership with pharmacy networks worked to improve the overall
health and productivity of affected workforces.
Workshop C: Health and Productivity Management Guided by a Workforce’s
Professional, Social, and Emotional Wellbeing
• Jim Purvis, VP, Well-Being Improvement Design, Healthways
• Elizabeth Glenn-Bottari, Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, Integrative Health,
St. Joseph Health
Healthways partnered with St. Joseph’s Health to better understand and improve employee
well-being. Speakers will discuss a program to address high claims costs and instances
of absenteeism and presenteeism. Healthways leveraged St. Joseph Health’s Choose
Well brand and developed custom campaigns for each ministry to maximize employee
engagement and participation in the Healthways Well-Being Assessment. This survey
measured more than just the physical health of employees, it also identified the impact that
work environment and social, emotional and community well-being had on their overall
well-being as well. Through robust data analytics, Healthways identified key priorities for
improvement and this session will discuss the program’s approach, implementation, and
productivity savings.
