Vera Workplace

Let Vera Workplace cut your long-term healthcare costs by making your employees happier and healthier. We do real, face-to-face wellness coaching – the kind that helps employees change their behaviors and improve their lifestyles. And we do it so well that you will not only cut healthcare costs, you’ll do better business because your workers are more productive.

Big Picture

Vera Workplace is the ultimate win-win. You cut costs and your employees thank you for it.

It’s all about changing your peoples’ behaviors. When they live better, healthier lives because they make better, healthier lifestyle choices, they get sick less, run less health risks, extend their careers, and cost less to your bottom line.

And they will work better, too – because they want to.  They will have more energy, passion, loyalty and self-confidence. They will have more creative resources at their disposal. Where they were once just happy to get through the day, they will be eager to do their jobs better. You will reap the benefits of a more spirited workplace, with high morale and energetic camaraderie.

Believe us – it’s a good and fun environment to work in.

What you get

First, we’ll market and manage the entire program for you.

As long as you and your leadership team provide the critical top-down support, we’ll deliver everything you need to make it a well-known, company-driven initiative. We’ll determine the necessary visibility, create the messaging, provide the incentives (or disincentives), we’ll track participation and report back, we’ll create value-adds for your employees (newsletters, fit tips, informational/educational collateral) – we’ll even create menu items and meal plans for your cafeteria. There’s nothing that we can’t do.

Then we’ll execute – the part where we’ll actually make your employees healthier. We’ll teach the classes – everything from yoga, Pilates and fusion fitness to lunch-and-learn nutrition and stress-related classes. We can do personal training, group personal training – it all depends on what you want.

But the most important product you get is our certified, Vera wellness coaching. This is where the rubber meets the road. The part where your people actually change their lives.

Why our wellness coaching works

We give your people face-to-face, personalized wellness coaching. The kind that requires high emotional intelligence. The kind that changes people’s behavior.

It starts with a screening. You can either let us do it, you can release information to us, or we can work with a third party. Doesn’t matter to us – as long as we get can establish the baseline of your employees’ physical health, lifestyle and behavior.

Then we get personal. We tap into their key motivators and help them articulate what they really want. We help them see that what they want is reasonable – and attainable. And then we help them get it.
We spend more time with the people who face higher risk factors.  But no matter who it is, it’ll be the best 30 minutes your employees have ever spent with a health professional.

Or put it this way:

If a doctor were to tell 10 people that they’ll die unless they change behavior X, universally about 1 out of those 10 people will change their behavior.

If a wellness coach were to tell 10 people they’ll die unless they change behavior X, industry-wide about 7 out of 10 people will change their behavior.

At Vera – we run better than industry-average. We’re at 8.7 out of 10. And we’re not just talking about watching less TV. We’re talking about changed lifestyles. Want an example? Read A Tale of Two Tims.

The Final Say

There’s a final truth here that needs to be said. If, because of our wellness program, just one of your employees doesn’t get diabetes, heart disease, or any other high profile disease, your entire program will have paid for itself.  If you are interested in bringing Vera to your workplace – fill out the form below and we will be in touch promptly.
