Employee Health Report Reveals Disconnect in Healthcare Benefits
Imagine a company trying to help its workers stay healthy.
A new report shows that the usual health plans don't always match what people really need.
Many workers are getting sick, especially with heart problems, diabetes, and mental health issues, often at a young age.
Lots of employees feel stressed and take days off work because of it.
However, many companies don’t offer things like regular check-ups.
The report suggests that if companies focus on keeping employees healthy with better plans, it can save them money and help their workers feel better.
Report highlights challenges in employee health insurance and healthcare.
Men account for 47% of insurance claims, but 46% of telehealth users.
Median age for cardiology consults is just 33, indicating early onset of heart disease.
Mental health problems account for 20% of telehealth consultations.
71% of employees are at moderate risk for non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
