SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With the Covid-19
pandemic entering its third year, making informed health decisions
has never been more important. In response, hundreds of large
employers have rapidly bolstered their health and wellbeing
resources with myriad digital health solutions. However, 76% of
Americans still struggle to fully understand their available
benefits.
A new report by The Josh Bersin Company, Leading Practices in
Employee Health Navigation, highlights the best strategies top
organizations can leverage to create an employee benefits
experience that is easier to engage with and navigate.
Many employees now have dozens of health and wellbeing point
solutions available to them, making it difficult to understand
which options are right for their specific needs. When employees
are faced with a fragmented and complex benefits experience, it
leads to lower engagement and poorer health outcomes, ultimately
reducing the impact of employer investments. To address these
challenges and better serve employees and their families, many
employers have turned to navigation solutions to connect their
disparate benefits and create a personalized and engaging member
experience. Navigation solutions that share data and insights
across the healthcare ecosystem—such as care advocates, on-site
clinics, virtual providers, and condition management vendors—enable
benefits leaders to provide a unified healthcare experience for
their whole population, thus ensuring more members get the right
care at the right time.
"According to our research, companies that leverage navigation
tools to make benefits easy to find are more than twice as likely
to innovate," said Josh Bersin, CEO
of the Josh Bersin Company. "That's because employees who can
easily access the best care options for their individual needs are
more likely to stay healthy and productive."
The report includes new case studies from two Castlight
customers, which explore how these companies are leveraging
Castlight Health, Inc. (NYSE: CSLT), a leader in connected
navigation, to help their employees better navigate their benefits
offerings. American Eagle Outfitters, one of the organizations
profiled, implemented Castlight's digital and high-touch
navigation solutions to help engage their entire population in
their health, an undertaking they deemed especially critical during
the pandemic.
"This report validates the powerful impact that connected
navigation can have on the health and wellbeing of the employee
population," said Tamar Rudnick,
senior vice president of Marketing at Castlight. "Castlight's
decade-long investment in data and technology is critical to
enabling this connected navigation infrastructure to provide
members with a seamless experience across all parts of the
healthcare system."
Employers that continually apply a health lens to work and
engage with a connected navigation partner are able to provide
their employees with the right support and care options they need
right when they need it. When employers take a more holistic
approach to employee health and wellbeing, they have the
opportunity to improve health outcomes and reduce medical
spend.
