Employee illness dramatically affects your business in a myriad of ways. Productivity, safety, employee engagement, and organizational culture, are impacted enormously by sick staff. Unlike many things in business, when it comes to illness, no industry, region, or sector is immune to the consequences of employee illness and the effect it has on the bottom line.

According to The Center for Disease Control Foundation, employers pay an average of $225 billion or $1,685 per employee for absenteeism every year. Worse yet – that almost 40% of the workforce (that’s 48 million workers) don’t have paid sick leave and going to work while sick accounts for a remarkable two-thirds of worker illness costs overall.

Employers can make a significant impact on workplace wellness through the healthcare benefits package they offer. Employee health benefits are a critical component to building and maintaining a healthy workforce and in turn, a healthy bottom line. Employers who wish to remain competitive, improve and maintain employee engagement recognize that wellness programs and initiatives are necessary, not optional. In today’s modern workplace however, employers have options that go beyond a standard healthcare plan, one of those options being, an onsite clinic.

Greater access to healthcare for employees of Treasure Island Casino and their dependents takes patient interaction to a higher level.

NeoPath and Prairie Island

Members of the Native American community, as well as employees of Treasure Island Casino and their dependents, are now getting the care they need at NeoPath – Prairie Island. Since October 2013, hundreds of individuals have been seen for both primary care and chronic conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease and breast cancer.

“Our patients have a history of getting lost in the system,” explains Lisa Gunn, LPN. “So our goal is – first and foremost – to develop a relationship with them.

To address this need, Dr. Michael Cowen has gone into the tribal community to meet with elders, which has helped establish trust and enabled word of mouth to spread quickly.

“We’re connecting them with specialists and providing hands-on support with nutrition and smoking cessation,” Gunn says. “That’s particularly challenging since smoking is permitted in the casino. But that’s why creating supportive relationships is so critical.” So far, it appears to be working. “One patient hugged me and told me, ‘you are now part of my family,’” Gunn adds.
