Trustees ask for participation data as wellness programs credited with cost avoidance
Summary
Trustees requested participation rates and engagement strategies after administrators said wellness initiatives produced significant cost avoidance; the board asked that the materials shared with employees also be provided to trustees.
During the committee's review of benefits and risk management, Lubbock Independent School District administrators said wellness initiatives have generated “significant cost avoidance” by helping employees improve health and reduce higher-cost medical care. Trustees asked administrators to supply participation rates and recommended strategies to increase engagement so the board could better evaluate program effectiveness.
Trustees also requested that the communications planned for employees — including details about available programs and direct access links — be provided separately to the board so members can reference the same materials when answering employee questions. Administration agreed to supply the requested participation data and the employee communications materials.
