CLIENT SUCCESS STORY

Convenient virtual solutions simplify healthcare for Big Y employees

  Key takeaways

Big Y, an independent New England supermarket chain, partnered with Teladoc Health to empower its 10,000 employees to live their healthiest lives—giving them the confidence, care and support they need to improve health outcomes with a comprehensive suite of flexible and convenient virtual care offerings.

Results since partnering with Teladoc Health:

  • 1.8% average A1c reduction for members living with uncontrolled diabetes1
  • $24,750 estimated annual cost savings from A1c reduction2
  • +78 Net Promoter Score (NPS) for 24/7 Care3

Strengthening health outcomes for supermarket employees and their families

Most of Big Y’s employees work fast-paced, shift-based jobs in supermarkets. Irregular schedules, busy lifestyles and limited access to computers and phones at work make it difficult for employees to manage their health. Big Y needed a creative support solution that would help increase engagement among hard-to-reach employees, reduce costs and improve well-being across its large workforce.

Big Y initially partnered with Teladoc Health to address the high prevalence of diabetes among employees. Leveraging innovative behavioral science principles and convenient tools, Big Y employees could better understand their health trends and build healthier habits.
