What we do

vielife is an innovator in health and performance. We specialise in increasing the ability of individuals and organisations to be more effective and productive. We also deliver our unique solution and technology to healthcare providers to integrate into their services to provide a complete solution that focuses on overall health, not just medical costs alone.

Prevention rather than cure

Historically, organisations and healthcare providers have tackled health reactively - responding to employee sickness as it happens. However, the winds of change have blown, and at vielife we have been firmly at the forefront of a shift in focus to a more proactive approach preventing ill-health and managing and promoting well-being. It is far more effective to encourage good health than pay the price of treating illness or sickness absence.

Our approach

Our wide range of initiatives provides organisations with integrated, preventative health and productivity solutions. Our approach begins with a thorough analysis of the current state of an organisation's or community's overall health profile. We identify the potential health risks specific to that population, before recommending a bespoke programme to mitigate those risks. All our data is linked back to an organisation's bottom line or council targets.

 

 

vielife research suggests that the majority of people who fall 'sick' are not suffering from pre-existing conditions. Half of all medical costs are the result of illnesses that could have been prevented. vielife Lifestyle Management Programmes give an average return on investment of 6.2:1. How can an organisation afford not to take the health of its people seriously?

 

Following vielife's assessment of the health status of an organisation, the employer receives two main outputs:

• A benchmarked report that explains the company's specific health-risk profile together with metrics that link lifestyle risk directly to the bottom line. Employees provide the data, which is compiled, analysed and presented in a report. The health-risk profile is linked to the direct costs associated with ill health and the impact on the company.
• Tailored recommendations in the form of Lifestyle Management Programmes, shorter health campaigns and consultative advice to improve the health of individuals and overall workforce performance.

The business case:

• vielife's solutions lower an individual's health risk quickly and help them to remain healthy, providing a business with a fuller working employee base and a community of healthier individuals.
• vielife's programmes reduce costs related to absence and reduced productivity. Less sickness absence means more people working, greater productivity and less stress on colleagues, spreading the workload more evenly.
• vielife initiatives improve employee engagement, retention, loyalty to brand and employer differentiation.
• vielife activity decreases medical claims and health insurance policy premiums, stress-related absence and long-term sickness absence, as well as health-related legal claims.
• vielife encourages people to take responsibility and be interested in their own well-being. The online service empowers individuals with actionable information and tools to assess and improve their own health and well-being. [boxed out]
• vielife saves health services money that would have been spent on treating avoidable medical conditions.
