Advocate is pleased to introduce its wellness coaching program. Coaching is a non-intimidating, yet effective approach for employees to

• identify health and wellness goals,
• become informed consumers of health information,
• develop an action plan, and
• leverage support of an experienced teacher to achieve success

This one-on-one approach, wherein employees set achievable goals and are held to stay the course by a motivating coach, translates into results—success not only for the individual employee, but also for the organization. Organizations with healthier employees see marked improvement in their bottom line.

Advocate coaches have backgrounds in social work, counseling, nutrition, and/or exercise physiology. They each follow a similar, proven coaching model, yet hold employees accountable to their specific goals.

The administration of our coaching program works similar to an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Employees are offered a toll-free number to contact a specialist who will briefly assess their needs and identify and set them up with an appropriate coach. The coach will arrange to meet with the employee, or discuss over the phone the employees concerns and personal goals in depth. The coach will then recommend a combination of telephone and in-person sessions to conduct the wellness work needed to achieve the identified goals. Coaching is confidential.
