Eastman Chemical - HealthE Connections
Overview
2011 Koop Award winner, Eastman Chemical supports a wide range of wellness opportunities for the company’s employees with a strong emphasis on participation in health assessments, health coaching, and other health improvement programs. Eastman Chemical’s program, in place since 1991, effectively engages almost all of its employees (including second and third shift workers) by offering programming at all times. Over the past five years, 90% of employees have completed health assessments and the company has experienced a steady drop in health risks including high cholesterol, hypertension, and blood glucose levels. In 2010, a quarter of the employees participated in onsite face-to-face health coaching. Eastman has seen a strong 3:1 return on investments from its educational and physical activity programming.
