Excerpt: It is [the concept of preventative care that spurred the CEO of Quest Diagnostics] to implement the company's wellness program four years ago, said Steve Burton, vice president of health and wellness services at Quest Diagnostics. The company's voluntary program, Healthy Quest, provides employees, their spouses and domestic partners with a personalized health report -- called Blueprint for Wellness -- based on laboratory testing. The program also provides educational materials, weight-loss support groups, fitness classes, a smoking cessation program and personal counseling sessions. Employees who participate in the free program are given $10 bi-weekly as an incentive, Burton said.... So what's in it for the company? Healthy Quest is designed to focus on health issues that 'drive a lot of costs, and drive a lot of lost productivity,' like obesity, smoking and stress, Burton said. Since Healthy Quest was established, the company has benefited from lower health care costs, fewer sick days and more satisfied employees, he said. 'Through an independent researcher, we determined that for about every dollar that we invest behind Healthy Quest, there's a savings of about $4.80,' Burton said.
