This session serves as an overview to Dr. Dee Edington’s book “Zero Trends: Health as a Serious Economic
Strategy.” Zero Trends is organized into three primary sections: The Mission, The Business Case, and The
Solution. Companies that embrace the transformational concepts will be rewarded financially by zero cost
trends, increased effectiveness in the workplace, increased health status of the workforce, and will become
a best place to work.
Poor health is a serious threat to our way of life as individuals, businesses and to our economy. The action
needed now requires a serious individual, business and economic strategy to reverse past and current ways
of thinking and our use of resources. The suggestions in “Zero Trends” and in this session are presented
as a challenge to all to find a new level of thinking to address the threats imposed by poor and worsening
health. The comments and suggestions may be irritating or challenging to some. The intention is to raise
the bar for success and thereby challenge those companies willing to make the transformation necessary to
become champion companies.
This session will also include a real life example of incorporating these concepts into its wellness programs.
Learn how you to can succeed by managing towards Zero Trends!

DIPLOMAT BALLROOM 2
SPONSORED BY CONTINUANCE HEALTH SOLUTIONS | CORPORATE WELLNESS
Employees bring their health status to work. In addition to driving benefit costs, health-related issues
increase production costs in the form of higher rates of absenteeism, presenteeism, overtime, work-related
injuries, and disability. The health and wellness of the workforce has a direct connection to an employer’s
financial results.
This session demonstrates how one employer was able to use an innovative health scoring tool to enable
their clinical health coach to identify at-risk employees sooner than traditional predictive modeling tools.
WVUH’s initiative is a model for how early identification and effective coaching positively impacts employee
health and wellness, reduces absenteeism, enhances employee engagement and controls rising health
care costs. Participants in this session will learn how to:
• Demonstrate potential value
• Implement a health coaching program
• Identify employees who are at risk & most likely to change
• Build trust & enthusiasm
• Measure effectiveness & outcomes
