(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 22, 2008 ) TROY, MICH., Hylant is not a stranger to the employee-centric developments in health care and employee benefits. As a consulting firm that helps clients design successful employee health-centric plans and investments, The Hylant Group is now implementing the knowledge management tool created by pioneer, Asset Health, to help its employees become healthier people and better consumers of health care.
The Asset Health System consists of a series of interactive/multimedia online courses on topics such as health care security, understanding your benefits, achieving a healthier weight, heart health, building a stronger relationship with your doctor, and many more. The courses are connected to adaptive tests; online assessments that help employees better understand where they can improve their knowledge and abilities.
“We understand how investing and managing health can literally add years to your life and dollars to your pocket,” said Susan Diehr, Hylant’s Chief Human Resource Officer. “Our partnership with Asset Health is a natural extension of our company’s commitment to smart design and investing in our employees to give them the best tools and solutions available to understand, invest in and manage their health.”
“Ultimately, healthy employees are drivers of bottom and top line success and, ultimately, business valuation,” says David Wilson, CEO of Asset Health. “We are thrilled to help the Hylant Group clearly deliver the message that ‘Health is Your Greatest Financial Asset’.”
Knowledge Management (“KM”), as distinguished from Wellness and Disease Management, is a process to help organizations engage their entire employee population in the management of health and health care. Since people learn differently, KM utilizes visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning methods which are designed to help increase retention and promote behavior change. KM incorporates video, audio, content, and interactive exercises as a means of creating higher levels of interaction with employees.
“KM and the Asset Health System are rooted in cognitive science and are about helping employees change behavior,” said David Wilson, Asset Health’s CEO. “This isn’t just about giving employees more information – there’s already plenty available -- it’s about empowering people so that they can make better health care choices and become healthier. We continue to look forward to our partnership with the Hylant Group and to helping promote an even stronger culture of health in the company!”
