The Thought Leader: The Value of Working With Employer Solutions

Helping Fox Valley Businesses Build a Healthier, More Productive Workforce

In today’s competitive labor market, the health and wellbeing of your employees isn’t just a perk: it’s a business imperative. Studies consistently show that healthier employees are more engaged, more productive and more likely to stay with their employer. That’s why partnering with the right healthcare provider is essential to building a strong, sustainable workforce.

Ascension Wisconsin Employer Solutions is proud to partner with employers throughout the Fox Valley and beyond, offering a full suite of direct-to-employer services designed to improve employee health, reduce costs, and boost organizational performance.

National Recognition Underscores the Power of Safety and Health Initiatives

Each year, the National Safety Council honors CEOs who demonstrate exceptional commitment to workplace safety through its “CEOs Who Get It” program. These leaders know that safety culture starts at the top, and it pays off.

Similarly, OSHA’s Safety and Health Recognition Program (SHARP) recognizes small businesses with outstanding health and safety programs, reinforcing the idea that a safe workplace is smart business.

In addition, the National Institutes of Health estimates that over 50 million U.S. workers are currently covered by workplace wellness programs, underscoring a nationwide shift toward preventive care and employee wellbeing.

Local Support from a Trusted Healthcare Partner

As your local healthcare system, Ascension Wisconsin offers more than just medical care — we offer strategic, direct-to-employer health solutions with easy access to specialty care when needed. Our goal is to support the health of your employees and their families every step of the way.

Here’s how we do it:

Hire and Keep the Right People

Finding and retaining quality talent starts with proper screening and care. Ascension Wisconsin Occupational Health Clinics offer:

  • Pre-employment physicals
  • Drug and alcohol screenings
  • Fast, effective return-to-work injury care

Our providers understand the importance of timely, compassionate care that helps employees start their job with confidence, and if injured, return safely and quickly.

Provide Better Access to Cost Savings and Quality Care

Onsite and near-site clinic solutions help employers control healthcare costs while improving outcomes. Ascension Wisconsin Employer Solutions provides:

  • Personalized, convenient primary care for employees and their families
  • 70% average employee engagement in our employer-sponsored clinics
  • A demonstrated return on investment (ROI) of 1.5

These solutions eliminate barriers to care, reduce unnecessary ER visits and promote long-term wellness.

Support Mental Health and Overall Wellbeing

A healthy workforce is more than just physically well — it’s mentally and emotionally supported. Our customizable wellness programs are designed to build a positive, sustainable workplace culture.

According to the CDC, a well-implemented wellness program can result in:

  • Up to 25% reduction in absenteeism, healthcare costs, workers’ comp and disability claims
  • Lower insurance premiums over time
  • Higher retention of top talent

Our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) goes even further: supporting employees and their families with mental health services. We see utilization rates three times higher than the national average, a sign that our services are trusted, accessible and truly making a difference.

Partnering for a Healthier Workforce

At Ascension Wisconsin, we believe healthcare is more effective when it meets employees where they are: at work, in their communities, and in every stage of life. Whether your business is looking to improve safety, reduce healthcare costs or build a stronger culture of wellness, we’re here to help.
