00:00:00
I call it the fruit bowl initiative.

00:00:02
Right?

00:00:02
There's a fruit bowl in the break room, but that that doesn't do it.

00:00:06
Like, that's not wellness.

00:00:08
You know?

00:00:08
So things like step challenges, gym discounts, you know, a meditation app.

00:00:13
And it's not that there's anything wrong with those things, but that's not a wellness

00:00:18
initiative.

00:00:19
That's not being truly proactive.

00:00:21
Welcome to Health Decoded, your number one source for real health information with your

00:00:26
host, doctor Alessi and Matt Tack.

00:00:32
Welcome to Health Decoded, with your host, Matt Tack.

00:00:37
I am, not alongside doctor Alfred Alessi today.

00:00:41
Actually have a guest in here that I'm really excited about, Jim Horning.

00:00:46
Jim Horning is our Director of Wellness and Execution at Alessi Functional Health.

00:00:52
Now I should say Ascend Functional Health.

00:00:55
So I'm really excited to have him, with us today in the podcast.

00:01:00
So I just wanna welcome everyone back.

00:01:04
Today, we're gonna talk about something a little bit different.

00:01:06
So we're gonna be talking to HR leaders, executives, and decision makers, and honestly,

00:01:12
really anybody that, really thinks corporate wellness is important.

00:01:16
So those people are responsible for the things that are getting harder every year, building a

00:01:22
productive, more engaged and healthier workforce.

00:01:26
So if you're dealing with the rising insurance costs, employee burnout, turnover,

00:01:31
disengagement, this episode definitely is for you.

00:01:35
So I'm joined by again, Jim Horning, our director of wellness at Ascend Functional

00:01:40
Health, who leads our corporate wellness initiatives, and today we're going to unpack

00:01:44
why corporate wellness is no longer a nice to have, it's a strategic necessity in the

00:01:51
workforce today.

00:01:52
So, Jim, how are you?

00:01:55
Very good.

00:01:56
Thanks for having me.

00:01:57
It's great to be on the famed podcast.

00:02:00
But this is one of my favorite topics, so, I'm excited to launch into it.

00:02:05
You know, we see firsthand what happens when companies stop, you know, reacting to health

00:02:10
problems, and they start investing proactively in their people.

00:02:13
So great topic.

00:02:15
I'm ready.

00:02:16
For sure.

00:02:17
So let's dig in.

00:02:18
We're gonna be talking about the real cost of an unhealthy workforce.

00:02:22
So, you know, at the end of the day, we always start with a problem.

00:02:26
Like, what is the problem?

00:02:27
Because most companies don't realize how expensive poor health actually is.

00:02:32
And we're not just talking about insurance premiums.

00:02:35
We're talking about absenteeism, presentee tism.

00:02:39
That's a big word that we talk about.

00:02:40
Low energy, burnout, disengagement.

00:02:43
And at the end of the day, just turnover that you don't like to have.

00:02:46
Retention's one of your biggest thing within the workforce today.

00:02:49
So, most employers are paying more every year for health insurance, number one, yet their

00:02:55
workforce is getting sicker and not healthier.

00:02:58
So, do you think That about that?

00:03:02
Is the paradox, right?

00:03:03
Companies spend more, but they're not seeing better outcomes.

00:03:07
And what we consistently see is this, employees are exhausted, stress is through the roof.

00:03:12
There's preventable conditions like, you know, back pain.

00:03:16
You got your office workers, for sure.

00:03:18
We hear that a lot.

00:03:19
Metabolic issues, anxiety, inflammation, everything is driving claims and people feel

00:03:25
like their employer doesn't actually care about their health.

00:03:28
It might not be true, but that's that's the perception and oftentimes the reality with

00:03:34
certain organizations.

00:03:36
They're like, Well, they don't care how I feel.

00:03:38
They just care about my output.

00:03:40
And we're seeing that across the board.

00:03:42
Yeah.

00:03:43
And when employees don't feel cared for, they become disengaged at the end of the day.

00:03:49
And then what do they do after that?

00:03:50
They likely leave or worse, you know, you have this silent quitting now, which they just stay

00:03:58
on and they stay and become underperforming for a period of time before they eventually are let

00:04:03
go.

00:04:04
So, have you seen that?

00:04:06
Yeah.

00:04:08
Hands down.

00:04:09
It's epidemic, really.

00:04:11
An unhealthy workforce is one of the biggest hidden liabilities on a company's balance

00:04:17
sheet.

00:04:18
They don't look at it strategically, but that's part of the balance sheet.

00:04:22
Yeah.

00:04:22
100%.

00:04:23
It affects directly affects the bottom line to everything.

00:04:26
So, you know, as we dig in why, like, corporate wellness typically fails, most companies think

00:04:36
they have a wellness program.

00:04:38
You talk about this all the time.

00:04:39
They they think they have a wellness program.

00:04:41
Well, we do this, and the insurance, they rebate for this, and, you know, we might have a

00:04:46
couple thousand bucks that we spend on them.

00:04:49
But let's be honest, like, what does that look like?

00:04:52
Yeah.

00:04:52
I I call it the fruit bowl initiative.

00:04:55
Right?

00:04:55
There's a fruit bowl in the break room.

00:04:57
That doesn't do it.

00:04:59
Like, that's not wellness.

00:05:00
So things like step challenges, gym discounts, a meditation app.

00:05:06
And it's not that there's anything wrong with those things, but that's not a wellness

00:05:11
initiative.

00:05:12
That's not being truly proactive.

00:05:14
Exactly.

00:05:15
These programs are like they're the check a box.

00:05:18
Yeah.

00:05:18
But they don't, like, actually change the behavior.

00:05:21
They don't reduce the the amount of claims that the company has, And they honestly don't make

00:05:28
employees at the end of the day feel supported in their endeavor.

00:05:32
Right?

00:05:32
Whatever it is.

00:05:33
Right?

00:05:33
You know, I think it's important even at work to have this balance of you're engaging them

00:05:39
with work activities, but then you're also engaging them with something outside of it

00:05:44
that's creating healthy habits.

00:05:46
Exactly.

00:05:47
It can't be generic because that's the problem, right?

00:05:50
They're disconnected from real health outcomes.

00:05:53
They don't meet employees where they actually are.

00:05:56
So you get proactive, you're going to make a difference.

00:06:00
A burned out employee doesn't need another email about drinking more water.

00:06:04
You know, that's not going to cut it.

00:06:06
They need support, structure, accountability, and access to care.

00:06:11
And that's strategic on the business front.

00:06:14
You're thinking of your own ROI when you do that.

00:06:18
It isn't just to be nice.

00:06:20
You want to be the top of the top, and that is going to be important when you're trying to

00:06:24
affect those that are burned out or nearing burnout.

00:06:28
And that's where most wellness initiatives fall apart, that no infrastructure.

00:06:34
The big part that we always talk about, no data.

00:06:37
How do you collect the data?

00:06:38
Where's the data associated?

00:06:39
There's data and everything else, maybe in their marketing and everything, and their P and

00:06:44
L, and their expenses at the bottom line, but like, there's no engagement, there's no data

00:06:49
associated to that.

00:06:51
How do you get that data?

00:06:52
How do you get that feedback?

00:06:53
So as we shift from like, okay, what isn't working to the benefits to actually care about

00:06:59
your employees, this is where, you know, our true conversation begins here.

00:07:04
Yeah.

00:07:05
The most forward thinking companies are no longer asking, you know, what benefits can we

00:07:10
offer?

00:07:11
But they're asking how can we take care physically take care of our people?

00:07:15
Like, what does that mean?

00:07:17
And what does that look like?

00:07:18
That's the key difference.

00:07:20
So, well put, you know, what do we do at Ascend Functional Health?

00:07:24
We build wellness initiatives that are structured, that are data driven.

00:07:28
That is huge.

00:07:30
We don't want to put blinders on anything that we do business wise, right?

00:07:34
We want to see what we're doing and what the outcomes are.

00:07:37
So data driven is definitely part of our wellness initiative.

00:07:41
Mobile is very important and integrated into the employee experience.

00:07:47
Or we don't wanna just stack it on top of everything.

00:07:50
Like here's just another thing, boom, put on, on top and, and weigh everything down.

00:07:55
No, we wanna integrate it into the employee experience.

00:07:59
Yeah.

00:07:59
That's experience is our word of the year this year at Ascend Functional Health.

00:08:04
I keep saying Ascend Functional Health.

00:08:06
I gotta get used to that, formerly Ascend Functional Health, now Ascend.

00:08:11
But our word of the year is experience for the simple fact that it's your your life is an

00:08:17
experience, right?

00:08:18
And I always go back to the how do we make our life that experience that we want to make it?

00:08:25
And I always go back to the quote from James Clear in the book Atomic Habits.

00:08:29
We don't rise to the level of our goals, we fall to the level of our systems.

00:08:35
And that just rings true for me.

00:08:38
It's been a model that I tried to live my life, how am I incorporating more habits that allow

00:08:44
me that are in the systems at which I operate to experience life more fully?

00:08:50
And that's where collecting these structured, data driven, mobile, integrated for the

00:08:55
employee experience, how they ring true and how you can benefit your employees.

00:08:59
But this isn't about removing responsibility either, though, from the employees.

00:09:04
You know, it's really about empowering them to make that difference.

00:09:08
Yeah.

00:09:08
Ownership is everything.

00:09:10
Right?

00:09:11
And then we have more confidence when we have that ownership.

00:09:13
So when employees feel better, you know, physically, mentally, everything improves,

00:09:19
right?

00:09:20
Everything that they're involved in at work, not even just the wellness.

00:09:23
So their focus, their energy, productivity, morale.

00:09:28
Everyone talks about culture.

00:09:30
You know, we we don't have a good culture.

00:09:32
We do have a good culture.

00:09:33
Well, team connection is is really the, foundation of culture.

00:09:38
We want everybody to be connected, understand one another, and like you said, experience,

00:09:43
understand one another's experiences.

00:09:45
Well, how great would that be if the wellness initiative caused them to work together and to

00:09:51
create this team dynamic?

00:09:53
So healthy employees don't just work harder.

00:09:57
They work smarter.

00:09:58
They work longer.

00:09:59
And the keyword, you know, they work with purpose.

00:10:03
Purpose is such a critical word,

00:10:05
It's huge.

00:10:05
Yeah.

00:10:06
Across the board, purpose.

00:10:08
How are we purpose driven in everything we do?

00:10:11
So, how corporate wellness reduces insurance costs, because that ultimately is where the big

00:10:17
red flag is, that we always talk to businesses.

00:10:21
They're like, Man, our insurance costs are just bleeding us.

00:10:26
So let's talk about the metric every executive really cares about, and that's overall is going

00:10:32
to be like, How do I reduce my insurance claims?

00:10:34
Yeah.

00:10:35
And that's where it becomes strategic, right?

00:10:37
And it's financial strategy.

00:10:39
It's not an expense.

00:10:40
So like you said, the what comes to mind immediately for me, because I was just talking

00:10:47
with an executive regarding the diabetic claims costs and how that that one chronic condition

00:10:54
alone is bleeding out.

00:10:56
You know, they're self funded.

00:10:58
They're just paying out constantly.

00:11:01
Like, we need a solution because high cost claims come from preventable or manageable

00:11:07
conditions.

00:11:08
So musculoskeletal issues, the metabolic disease, chronic stress and inflammation, poor

00:11:15
recovery and mobility, all of these things need to be, at the forefront of an organization if

00:11:22
they want to be strategic financially.

00:11:25
Yeah, and when you intervene early, I will say it's never too late, but when you get there

00:11:31
early, when you improve that movement, recovery, nutrition, and stress resilience,

00:11:39
claims naturally, what do they do?

00:11:41
They likely are going to go down.

00:11:43
Yep.

00:11:44
They're going to go.

00:11:45
And that's exactly what we want to see.

00:11:47
It's just as important utilization shifts, right?

00:11:50
So employees stop waiting until something breaks and instead they engage in care

00:11:56
proactively.

00:11:57
You're creating these micro habits, if you will, it's going to grow.

00:12:02
It's going to infiltrate not only their work, but their personal life.

00:12:06
And that's cheaper.

00:12:08
It's more effective.

00:12:10
It's sustainable.

00:12:11
It really is strategy just keeps coming to mind, whenever I talk about this, with

00:12:17
organizations.

00:12:18
Think of the big picture, how it's going to affect the individual and the organization as a

00:12:23
whole.

00:12:26
Corporate wellness isn't about spending more, it's purely about spending smarter.

00:12:33
Exactly.

00:12:34
And that's, you know, life.

00:12:35
How are you making adequate deposits into your savings account, right?

00:12:40
To get a return on, to get a return on what you're putting into that.

00:12:43
And then ultimately like the business and the longevity of the business that is the saving

00:12:47
accounts long term.

00:12:48
Right.

00:12:49
And when you one thing, yeah, because this kind of the bridge between spending smarter, like

00:12:57
you just stated, and having that ideal culture.

00:13:01
Right?

00:13:02
You're investing into your people.

00:13:04
And one of the most overlooked benefits of corporate wellness is culture, right?

00:13:09
We want to create this cultural dynamic.

00:13:12
So employees participate in wellness initiatives together, something powerful

00:13:17
happens.

00:13:18
So spend smarter because you're going to see a result on that culture side and then ultimately

00:13:24
health wise for your entire employee base, you're going to become a coveted company to be

00:13:31
at or to stay at, which is also really important.

00:13:35
Yeah, there's the level of you maximize It's like a can't go wrong philosophy in this case.

00:13:44
Insurance costs likely, you do it long enough, right?

00:13:46
The insurance costs go down and then you get an ROI in your people and you have rising

00:13:52
revenues.

00:13:53
So literally the bottom line is you make a lot more money overall when you engage in your

00:14:01
people.

00:14:03
That's really important to think about how you're spending money smarter with corporate

00:14:07
wellness and engaging into your workforce and making sure your people just feel cared for,

00:14:14
number one, but they are becoming healthier.

00:14:17
And that's the true emphasis of what a good quality corporate wellness program looks like.

00:14:24
Yeah.

00:14:24
So, let's dig into a little bit about the engagement, the culture, the retention piece,

00:14:30
of what we do at Ascension Functional Health and how we aid in small businesses.

00:14:35
I mean, look ideally at, when you say small businesses, and I'm part of even a small

00:14:43
business committee, with the chamber.

00:14:45
So I get to see firsthand, a lot of what's happening in those 25 to 50 employee count all

00:14:51
the way up into the hundreds as well, And just how that culture will affect.

00:14:58
We always think global, like, the big companies have great culture.

00:15:01
Those small companies want great culture, right?

00:15:04
They also want that, but they may be more limited know what they can invest.

00:15:10
So we like to come in and say, well, let's plan this together.

00:15:13
Let's look at smart ways that we can copy the big dogs, right?

00:15:18
But create this enviable culture even for the smaller organizations.

00:15:22
And most notably, especially Tampa Bay right now, right?

00:15:26
We're really invested in our community, but it's here and beyond.

00:15:32
So we're really looking at whether it's a small you know, organization, a small business, we

00:15:37
want that team bonding.

00:15:39
We want morale to improve.

00:15:41
We want people to feel invested in, like you said, and supported, not just managed, not just

00:15:47
here's your to do list, but really invested in to make a difference on that small front who

00:15:52
may feel overwhelmed.

00:15:54
You know, they don't know how to begin.

00:15:56
They don't know what it means, to come in and plan alongside them and show them, this is

00:16:01
perfect for your organization as well.

00:16:03
Yeah.

00:16:04
It becomes an overall shared experience, not just I like a working at Accenture, and, you

00:16:11
know, we didn't have a wellness program.

00:16:12
There's no wellness initiatives.

00:16:14
Large organization, right?

00:16:16
And so it becomes, you know, even for some somebody like that, it's it's almost moving the

00:16:22
titanic when, you know, you do a corporate wellness initiatives with a 120 employees.

00:16:28
Much more manageable when it becomes like 50 to 300, even four or 500.

00:16:32
More manageable in the process of of creating something.

00:16:36
You're in a little bit smaller boat.

00:16:38
You can create culture and retention and and more community that way.

00:16:41
But I remember, they spent majority of their dollars taking us out drinking.

00:16:46
And we would just we would, you know, have these happy hours and kind of these elaborate

00:16:51
elaborate ways of, you know, they would just wanna entertain us, and that's what they

00:16:55
thought, you know, proper culture and retention looked like.

00:16:59
We're taking this out for half hours and feeding some hors d'oeuvres.

00:17:03
And we're flipping the script on that and saying, hey, why is that?

00:17:06
You know?

00:17:06
Why is it that you think a happy hour in hors d'oeuvres is what's gonna create your company

00:17:12
culture when you could have something that they're more engaged, you're creating a

00:17:16
healthier lifestyle and workforce for your employees, and they ultimately get the long

00:17:23
benefit because they're able to engage better with their families maybe.

00:17:26
They're able to become better parents, better daughters, husbands, whatever it might be.

00:17:32
And that is ultimately what we're trying to it's not just like the shared experience

00:17:38
internally within the organization, but you want them to be happy outside of the

00:17:41
organization well.

00:17:43
And so that's where I feel like that just engagement, culture, and retention is so

00:17:49
impactful is that when you can when you can have them walk through walk out of your doors

00:17:54
and be just as happy as walking into your doors, man, you're doing something pretty

00:17:58
powerful.

00:17:58
Yeah.

00:17:59
That is powerful.

00:18:00
It's the fastest way to build loyalty.

00:18:03
Mhmm.

00:18:03
Right?

00:18:04
Invest in someone's health because they aren't just thinking about work all the time as as

00:18:08
much as the, you know, those in in leadership may want them to.

00:18:13
Right?

00:18:13
But they've got weddings to attend.

00:18:14
They have grandchildren they want to be able to lift up in the air or go play with at the park

00:18:19
or, you know, be able to, to stay around long enough to see, you know, that, that coveted

00:18:26
granddaughter get married.

00:18:27
You know?

00:18:28
Like, there's real skin in the game for their life, for their longevity.

00:18:33
You invest in that, you've just created a loyalty that's unmatched.

00:18:39
It is again, I gotta say it, it's it's strategy, but it's also just doing the right

00:18:45
thing.

00:18:46
Yeah.

00:18:47
And retention follows because people don't leave companies that take care of them.

00:18:52
Exactly.

00:18:52
People do not leave companies that they genuinely love.

00:18:55
In fact, I've seen a lot of people take discounts on what they potentially could earn

00:19:00
because they're I'm just in too good a spot.

00:19:02
They care about me too much where I could make money elsewhere, but I stay here because we

00:19:08
have a we have a bond and we're we have a bigger vision involved here.

00:19:11
Exactly.

00:19:13
You you bring up a really good point just for me to add that that retention is so important,

00:19:18
but you also become the honey that's going to attract because there are folks out there who

00:19:24
are looking, where can I work where they would care about me?

00:19:29
And in a market like we have, you were attracting the right kind of team member that's

00:19:35
really gonna make a difference for your company, this is also perfect, not only for

00:19:40
retention, but for in recruiting, for in being able to draw in the right team that's gonna

00:19:45
make a difference.

00:19:46
So it's win win.

00:19:48
Yeah.

00:19:49
I'm gonna steal your tagline here of something that you say, but the fastest way to build

00:19:53
loyalty is invest in someone's health.

00:19:55
Yeah.

00:19:55
100%.

00:19:56
Yeah.

00:19:57
It's, you you can give them the happy hours.

00:20:00
You can give them the hors d'oeuvres.

00:20:01
Can You give them even, like, a pay raise.

00:20:03
You can give them more paid time off, but if you give them health, you are giving them

00:20:09
something exponentially more that they are depositing into their own bank account.

00:20:15
So so let's dig into now who corporate wellness is actually for.

00:20:21
So this is especially impactful, this episode, small to medium sized businesses.

00:20:26
Right?

00:20:26
We target 50 employees ideally and up where every hire matters, especially that early in

00:20:32
the game.

00:20:33
You're 50 employees and up.

00:20:34
You're relatively you're stable, not not massively big, but you're there and you're

00:20:41
really trying to make an impact.

00:20:43
That's where every hire really truly matters, that you can retain them.

00:20:48
Yeah.

00:20:48
And we touched on it a little bit.

00:20:50
Like these companies don't have massive HR departments or unlimited budgets, right?

00:20:55
But they want solutions, and they need solutions that are turnkey, that are scalable,

00:21:00
that are measurable.

00:21:02
Yeah.

00:21:02
And that's what we provide.

00:21:03
We do the heavy lifting in that regard.

00:21:05
Yeah.

00:21:06
And that's exactly what we built.

00:21:08
So an infrastructure that allows companies to deploy real wellness through challenges without

00:21:14
the added complexity of you need to do this, this, and this.

00:21:18
We need to have 15 meetings to make this happen, and every employee needs to do this,

00:21:24
this, and this.

00:21:25
It's creating taking out that complexity and really adding a clean, scalable approach to the

00:21:32
wellness initiative.

00:21:33
A 100%.

00:21:34
At the end of the day, right, the best thing you can give your employees isn't another perk.

00:21:41
Right?

00:21:41
Yeah.

00:21:42
The yeah.

00:21:42
The other perk, the I I go back to my time with Accenture.

00:21:46
Like, they had these, points.

00:21:48
It was like a point structure at the end of the day.

00:21:50
And, know, it was kinda cool, but you could buy different things in this, like, store.

00:21:55
Right.

00:21:56
And so, like, the amount of points you collected, you could go in there and you could,

00:21:59
you know, buy yourself a golf set or go go buy something else.

00:22:03
And I just look I I probably don't know where any of that stuff is anymore.

00:22:06
I have no idea what what happened to it.

00:22:09
But it was the perk, but didn't really create, like, any level of culture.

00:22:14
And I will say, you know, I really enjoyed my time, at Accenture, and I took things from it

00:22:20
that we actually implement even today at Ascend.

00:22:24
But, and I will say but, they spent majority of their engagement not on anything associated to

00:22:31
the wellness of our employees how we can get them more engaged and how we can retain them

00:22:37
with through a mindset approach to build and properly build habit structures for the

00:22:43
longevity of their health.

00:22:45
Right.

00:22:45
And that's really what we built in.

00:22:47
It's it really just that comes down to health, like true physical health of your employees,

00:22:52
because health always healthy people show up differently every day, hands down.

00:22:59
At work, at home, and in life, all three of those things, if you have a healthy employee,

00:23:05
they will show up better for you every single day.

00:23:08
Yeah, 100%.

00:23:09
And when the workforce thrives, your business follows.

00:23:13
It's it's a given.

00:23:15
Yeah.

00:23:15
The the the business does absolutely follow everything.

00:23:20
It's when you have a stable workforce, your sales guys are just healthier, your ops guys

00:23:26
are healthier, your HR, know, hell, I shouldn't say guys and gals, I don't wanna leave out

00:23:31
anyone here.

00:23:33
But both of both of those drive success towards the business.

00:23:37
And that's that's ultimately we know if you're a business owner listening in or even if you're

00:23:42
an employee listening in.

00:23:44
Yeah.

00:23:44
If you're an HR rep listening in, you know, how much value and I think about this from even

00:23:50
employee standpoint that, you know, if you're an employee, listen to this, because how

00:23:54
important it is for you to start embedding these things at work.

00:23:57
And maybe it's you bringing this up to your CEO and saying, Hey, I think I really would enjoy

00:24:04
you guys thinking about building in some sort of corporate wellness into the infrastructure

00:24:09
of our DNA, because it's made an impact on me over this last year that I've made a decision

00:24:16
for my health, I really want this to be a DNA.

00:24:18
Maybe you can even be that ambassador for your organization.

00:24:23
So if you're just listening into this podcast because you love the Health Decoded podcast, I

00:24:27
would and you're an employee, I'd recommend, hey, how how can you talk?

00:24:31
How can you come up with ideas to entertain your C suite, or the CEO, or the president, or

00:24:39
even your HR to say, Hey, I would really like to help out in incorporating some level of

00:24:43
corporate wellness so that the entire workforce can thrive?

00:24:46
Yeah, absolutely.

00:24:48
Yeah.

00:24:49
If you're an HR leader and executive looking to reduce your insurance costs, improve

00:24:53
engagement, and build a healthier workforce, I would recommend reaching out to us at Ascend

00:24:58

00:25:00
He would love to talk to you about everything that entails and give you a little bit more

00:25:05

00:25:12
he's gonna tell you, hey.

00:25:12

00:25:13
It's not a good fit.

00:25:15

00:25:21
