West’s Health Advocate Launches New Wellness Challenge Portal to Inspire Healthy Competition
New portal offers personalized programs to engage participants in improving health and well-being while having fun
Plymouth Meeting, PA, September 13, 2016 —West Corporation, a leading provider of communication services, today announced the launch of its online Wellness Challenge Portal and ClientConnect, the latest enhancements to Health Advocate’s comprehensive Wellness Program.
The newly designed Wellness Challenge Portal offers participants more than 20 all-new challenges, plus new health trackers including a focus on resiliency and easy tracking of biometric results, among many others. Designed to optimize the user experience, the Wellness Challenge Portal is easy to navigate and can be connected with nearly 100 different fitness devices and apps to enable participants to sync their health data.
The Wellness Challenge Portal makes it easy to send email notifications to participants reminding them to track their progress on various health and well-being activities, motivating them to exercise, eat nutritiously, drink enough water, improve their sleep, and be more mindful of their health. In addition to support for employees working toward individual goals, organizations as well as groups of employees also have the ability to set up focused challenges that encourage fun competitions between colleagues and teams, increasing engagement levels.
While new challenges will be added to the Portal’s library throughout the year, organizations can also create custom challenges in addition to those available. The Wellness Challenge Portal offers a number of other customizable capabilities to further enhance engagement.
“Wellness and well-being programs should not be one-size-fits-all, and as a key component of our Wellness Program, the Challenge Portal enables organizations and individual employees to design and personalize the program to fit their unique needs. Offering activities that help employees meet their goals improves both engagement and outcomes,” said Abbie Leibowitz, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of West’s Health Advocate Solutions. “Incorporating activities like challenges and competitions into wellness programs adds an element of fun that goes a long way toward motivating participation and sustaining results.”
Organizations offering Health Advocate’s Wellness program will also have access to ClientConnect, an intuitive administrative portal offering a “wizard feature” to allow wellness team leaders to easily 2 set up challenges, view participation, and track outcomes. ClientConnect includes Team Captain supporting materials designed by Health Advocate to help organizations promote engagement within their workplace.
Demo versions of the Wellness Challenge Portal and ClientConnect are now available for review.
