From Awareness to Action: Addressing Diabetes Risk in the Workplace

Awareness Is Only the First Step

When you look at population health data, one trend is nearly impossible to ignore: the rising prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes. Through aggregate reporting, we often see that a significant portion of employees fall into these categories. Some may already know they are at risk. Others may have never been told. Either way, awareness alone isn’t enough. Simply identifying the issue doesn’t move the needle on health outcomes or costs, it only tells us where the challenges lie.

Turning Data Into Action

You have the data. You know how many individuals are at risk. Now what? The true value of health reporting comes from taking the next step, building targeted solutions that not only identify risks but actively support individuals in managing them. This means moving beyond one-size-fits-all messaging and into personalized, actionable care. That’s where a Diabetes Care Management program makes the difference.

What Action Looks Like

Our program is designed to bridge the gap between risk identification and meaningful lifestyle change. It provides:

• Personalized support: Each participant is paired with a dedicated Care Manager who helps them understand their risk, set realistic goals, and stay on track.

• Evidence-based guidance: Participants receive education on nutrition, exercise, medication management, and stress reduction—all tailored to their unique situation.

• Ongoing accountability: Regular check-ins and continuous monitoring ensure progress is sustained, not just started.

• Employer impact: By reducing complications and improving disease management, organizations see lower healthcare costs, increased productivity, and healthier, more engaged employees.

Why It Matters for Employers

For many individuals, diabetes is a very personal health concern—one that requires daily attention and can affect their energy, focus, and overall wellbeing. In the workplace, these individual challenges can also create ripple effects, from increased medical claims to missed time and long-term health risks. That’s why it’s important for employers to recognize that supporting employees with diabetes isn’t just about managing costs—it’s about helping people feel healthier, more capable, and more supported in their day-to-day lives.

A structured Care Management program makes that possible. By pairing data insights with personalized support, organizations can ensure that employees have the tools they need to take control of their health, while employers see the added benefit of lower healthcare costs, greater productivity, and a more engaged workforce.

From Awareness to Action

Identifying risk is a powerful first step. But without follow-through, data alone won’t drive outcomes. With a dedicated Diabetes Care Management program, organizations can transform awareness into action—supporting their employees’ wellbeing while also protecting their bottom line.
