Ceridian Health Risk Assessment Now Available in Spanish

Innovative tool raises awareness of health risks to Hispanic population, provides direction for improving health

MINNEAPOLIS (June 24, 2004) — Ceridian, a leader in managed human resource solutions that maximize the value of people, introduced a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) designed to reach the Hispanic population—the fastest growing ethnic segment of the workforce according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

The Ceridian Health Risk Assessment is a tool that provides a thorough assessment of health status resulting from a wide spectrum of health behavior, health history, and psychosocial factors. Employees who complete the assessment receive a comprehensive report that empowers each individual to better understand their personal health risks and embrace healthier lifestyles. A critical strategic tool, Ceridian's HRA also provides employers with the information they need to assess, manage, and reduce the health risks and expenses of their workforce.

"Modification of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors and risk factors can have a tremendous impact on chronic medical conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death in the Hispanic population and one of the leading causes of disability in the U.S.," said Linda Laitner, senior vice president of LifeWorks Services at Ceridian U.S. Human Resource Solutions. "Ceridian Health Risk Assessment breaks down language barriers for Spanish-speaking employees and delivers information about health risk factors as well as healthy choices to pursue in order to help them enjoy the freedom of good health."

Ceridian's HRA is a scored appraisal that creates a baseline from which the participant can make lifestyle modifications. Participants receive immediate, confidential feedback via a secure Web site that integrates consumer health education and the participant's personal wellness profile into a comprehensive system that promotes and supports health. Content and resources are dynamic, changing as the individual participant changes. Paper scoring and reporting are also available.

Using results obtained from the Ceridian HRA, organizations are able to identify and stratify population health risks. This process creates the foundation to target precise areas of potential health risk exposure for improvement. Ceridian's HRA drives productivity and lowers health care costs by allowing employers to develop targeted health management programs.

More than 116,000 clients and their 25 million employees worldwide rely on Ceridian to help them better manage their businesses and maximize employee effectiveness every day. Ceridian's managed human resource solutions were recognized in Forbes Magazine's prestigious Fall 2003 'Best of the Web' Annual B2B Guide.
