The best way to measure your success is to look back and see how far you've come. Wellness coordinators often use reports to do just that regarding their wellness initiatives. But if you think it might be easier to hire a full-service wellness vendor to prepare your program reports for you, beware. Those reports aren't always easy to access. In a recent survey of 430 companies, 55 percent said wellness providers take too long to provide reports needed to measure the financial impact of wellness efforts.
Fortunately, Wellsource has a suite of administrative reporting tools that allow you to create your own reports. On-demand, easy access to reports can help you evaluate the overall health of your participants, and measure group progress from one assessment period to another. You can also use the reports to summarize the results of your HRA data and financial impact of wellness in the workplace. These reports are especially helpful to your executive team. The reports you can create yourself using the WellSuite® Portal include:
Individual Reports
- Individual Report
- Participant Trend Report
- Participant with Trend Report
Administrative Reports
- Executive Summary Report
- Group Progress Report
- Productivity and Economic Benefits Report
- Detail List Report
- Counselor Summary Report
- Subgroup Summary and Detail Reports
Once you're in the WellSuite® Portal signed in as an administrator, you can access the tools for creating individual and administrative reports. By creating your own reports when you want them, you'll be able to make timely decisions about your wellness program budget, incentives, and initiatives.
