Putting it into Action.

moving ahead In addition to being engaging, effective, and measurable, Virgin HealthMiles programs are simple to implement and maintain. We'll help you set expectations, select features, and work through the specifics like the incentives you may want to offer.

In addition to working on their own, our programs can play a central role in your existing wellness initiatives. Whether you're providing smoking cessation classes, stress management, or healthy food choices, you can maximize participation and benefits by adding HealthMiles.

Did You Know?

Our members are rewarded for getting approximately 30 minutes of moderate activity, 5 days per week. That’s the same amount activity that the CDC recommends adults get to reap long-term health benefits such as a significantly reduced chance of developing type 2 diabetes.

Getting Ready to Go

As you prepare to roll out the program, you can be assured that our step-by-step process ensures your program is structured to optimize business value and results for the specific characteristics of your organization.

Rolling it out

Through this process you can tailor the program to the people you want to reach, how you want to reach them, and the incentives you want to offer.

One Step at a Time

We operate with the goal of getting all of your employees to participate. To make it possible for even the most sedentary ones to participate, our programs feature a low barrier to entry and a simple enrollment process.

Simplifying Participation

Maximize Your Program

The Virgin HealthMiles program is an excellent stand-alone program with proven results. Our experience has also shown that the more organizations leverage the program as part of their overall health care strategy, the more successful the results can be. This chart illustrates two best practice cases where clients have successfully leveraged the program to support their larger strategy:

Best practice case #1 is a manufacturing client who added additional cash incentives at Level 3.
Best practice case #2 is a hospital client who gave employees who reach Level 3 a discount on their health insurance premiums.

Setting Expectations

Level 3 is the milestone in the program which indicates that employees are sustaining their activity levels enough to reap long-term health benefits. In both cases, the clients recognized that the employees who are taking measures to improve their lifestyles, who are taking personal responsibility for their health, are those who should be rewarded for their efforts. These incentive models support each organization’s larger prevention strategy and will ultimately reduce costs for the organization.
