Nicotine use is a complex addiction that requires specialized treatment. We\u2019ve been successful at developing programs that meet the needs of the hundreds of thousands of smokers who are ready and interested in quitting. Offering the EX Program in the workplace allows employers to leverage the impact of smoking policies and incentives to promote quitting, while also offering smokers a powerful program that they can access anonymously and privately as they tackle a tenacious addiction.\u201d<\/p>\n
– Dr. Amanda Graham, Senior Vice President of Innovations, Truth Initiative.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nWith this partnership, employers can use Wellable to provide their employees with access to the five core elements of the EX Program below.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Personalized Quit Plan<\/h3>\n
The EX Program\u2019s interactive, self-paced, guided quit plan provides the specialized support tobacco users need for the behavioral, social, and physical aspects of tobacco addiction.\u00a0 It includes digital and video content, interactive tools to identify triggers and track tobacco use patterns, and tailored communications.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The award-winning EX Community provides an unrivaled level of peer support. \u00a0As part of the largest tobacco cessation community, thousands of smokers and ex-smokers share candid advice and powerful motivation.\u00a0 The Truth Initiative\u2019s research has proven that participation in the EX Community is a key driver of quitting success.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Live Coaching<\/h3>\n
When tobacco users have a question or craving, their EX Coach is there (anytime, anywhere).\u00a0 EX Coaches are tobacco treatment experts that understand how this addiction affects each person\u2019s life differently and how best to overcome it.\u00a0 EX Coaches help participants set a quit date, build confidence and motivation, choose the right quit medication, and avoid relapse.\u00a0 EX Coaches are supervised by the Mayo Clinic Nicotine Dependence Center clinical team.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Text Messaging<\/h3>\n
Unlike other text messaging programs that use static content, the EX Program\u2019s robust text messaging platform delivers interactive and tailored messages based on how the tobacco user has\u2014or hasn\u2019t\u2014engaged with the program.\u00a0 Research has shown that by delivering relevant, timely, and compelling series of messages, EX Program\u2019s text messaging program increases the number of participants who set a quit date and complete steps in the EX Plan.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nicotine Replacement Therapy<\/h3>\n
Using nicotine replacement therapy can double the chances of quitting successfully. EX Coaches help participants choose the right quit medication and dosage as well as coordinate delivery.\u00a0 Participants receive home delivery for four weeks of nicotine patches, gum, or lozenges.<\/p>\n
As the first smoking cessation service offered as part of the Wellable program, we\u2019re proud to work with Truth Initiative and its highly successful EX Program to support our users on their tobacco cessation journeys. Offering the EX Program through Wellable allows us to present tobacco cessation to our customers as part of a comprehensive wellness platform, which includes physical activity, nutrition and many other factors that may be of concern to tobacco users looking to quit.<\/p>\n
– Nick Patel, President of Wellable<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nThe EX program pricing through Wellable is based on registered employees, which means employers will only be billed if a smoking employee joins the program.\u00a0 Employers can launch their smoking cessation benefit with zero costs and only pay for those employees who smoke, are ready to quit, and register for the EX Program.\u00a0 Contact Wellable<\/a> for more details!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
More Stats About Employee Smoking<\/h3>\n
According to the CDC, smoking tobacco costs businesses $130 billion in medical care costs and $150 billion in lost productivity each year, placing a heavy burden of caring for smokers on healthcare providers and employers alike. The difficulty of this hardship cannot be underestimated.\u00a0 In some parts of the United States, the smoking population among workers can reach as high as 40%, with the per-employee cost of smoking reaching up to $6,000 per individual. \u00a0With the costs stacking up higher than ever before, smoking cessation therapies are quickly becoming one of the most cost-effective benefits companies can provide to their employees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
