Offering a wellness program is a good first step, but making sure employees know about it and take advantage of it is where the real value comes in. Encouraging participation in programs like Omada can help employees take a more active role in their health while supporting the long-term health of your cooperative.

Personalized Support for Better Health

Available to eligible employees through ABC’s Cooperative Health Plan, Omada is a virtual health program designed to help individuals manage chronic conditions and build healthier habits. Current ABC offerings include programs for employees managing diabetes or high blood pressure.
Omada provides personalized support based on each participant’s health needs and goals, including:

• One-on-one guidance from a dedicated health coach.
• Access to clinical specialists for additional expertise and support.
• Connected devices to track important health measures and monitor progress.
• Interactive lessons covering nutrition, physical activity and everyday health habits.
• Peer communities that provide encouragement and accountability along the way.

Managing chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure takes ongoing effort. Omada gives employees personalized support to build healthier habits and stay on track. HR teams and cooperative leaders can help by keeping the program visible, explaining how it works and encouraging eligible employees to participate.

A Healthier Workforce Benefits Everyone

Helping employees better manage chronic conditions can reduce the risk of serious complications, limit some costly healthcare needs and support a healthier, more productive workforce. While no program can eliminate healthcare costs, encouraging employees to use available resources is an important part of a long-term benefits strategy.

ABC can help your cooperative make the most of Omada. If you have questions about implementing the program or encouraging employee participation, reach out to your ABC representative for guidance.
