In a 2008 survey of 500 employers, among "high-performing" employers [those who have been successful in keeping health care cost increases lower than 5% per year], "78% say they play a significant role in motivating employees to manage their health and health care purchases responsibly, versus just 36% of low-performing companies....72% of high performing companies say they play a significant role in employee health management (e.g., by identifying and managing health risks, and helping employees manage chronic conditions), compared to about one-third (33%) of low-performing companies." (p. 7)
