Roche’s commitment to employee health is based on the belief that helping employees improve their health is in the best interest of the company; it results in a workforce that is more productive, has fewer distractions and will be absent less.
The case study explains an in-house program called "Choosing Health" that includes a number of employee health components such as a fitness center, nurse line, disease management and e-health Web site. It also discusses the program’s key strategies and principles.
The final portion of the report explains incentive programs and results as the company built the use of two tools offered in the Choosing Health program, the Web site and the nurse line. For example, the nurse line experienced a 120 percent increase in calls over six months on the topic of back care, one of the priority conditions the company has chosen to address. In addition, the study found a 284 percent increase in online site utilization as a result of an incentive program to regularly use the health information Web site provided by MCHMR.
