ANOVIA helps organizations maximize investments made on employee benefits.  Our services range from small scope initiatives that may involve implementation of a cost-effective medical plan to larger scope projects which may include a thorough analysis of your current health care package. 

We also aid in the development of annual enrollment strategies, wellness initiatives incorporated with the medical plan design to yield long-term cost savings and campaigns to educate employees on the effective use of their health care dollar.

One of the biggest strengths of our services is that we’re an unbiased partner.  We don’t make deals with brokers, so we are truly an independent consultant that works solely for our clients...with our client’s best interests in mind.  

Healthy employees are better performers AND they save companies money on health care expenditures. 

Benefits of implementation of wellness programs include the enhancement and maintenance of employee health, health care cost containment or reduction, improved morale and reduced turnover.  After all, employees who are healthy, seek health care less, are absent from work less and have more energy to work!

ANOVIA consultants partner with organizations to determine which areas of health need to be improved and then develop programs to meet those goals.  Our services span the spectrum of wellness - from single initiatives in health, exercise and nutrition to full-scale health risk reduction programs based on high medical claim areas.  And we do it with clinically-proven programming, exceptional listening skills and can’t-beat-it customer service. 

Research has shown that happy, healthy employees produce more and get better results.  This has been popularized by the vast array of “100 Best Companies” contests and surveys.  Because employees spend a great deal of time at work, they are coming to demand more from their employers.  More and more we hear terms such as “work/family” and “work-life” – because people want to achieve many different objectives during their lives.  Enabling employees to pursue personal goals enhances the employer-employee relationship, which benefits everyone.

Work-Life programs can be as basic as implementing flexible work hours, telecommuting or job sharing or it can be full-scope involving a comprehensive look at company culture and how it can be adapted to become more employee-friendly.  ANOVIA offers the assessment process to get started and partners with organizations to implement the changes necessary.

_ Many employees are promoted through the ranks because they do a good job.  But being good at doing work, does not always translate to being good at supervising the work efforts of others.  A supervisor who cannot effectively manage others often causes a significant drain on productivity, has a negative impact on morale, and can put organizations at legal risk.   

Because many supervisors are not born with the talent to inspire, engage and enable employees, they are often ineffective in maximizing their team’s productivity.  This presents itself in reduced ability to get work projects done, reduce morale among team members and sometimes can lead to legal troubles as employee issues are handle inappropriately.  An organization’s best defense is training.     

Our training is customized to an organization’s needs and covers topics such as:

• employee performance management and counseling; 
• navigating legal minefields; 
• effective and legal interviewing practices;
• supervisory skill;
• driving for results.

Employee attraction and retention is critical to the long term success of any organization.  By adopting practices that get the best employees on your team…and keeping them engaged, you can improve your organization’s bottom line. 

Our work with clients begins with understanding the human capital required to support key business objectives.  Using the objectives as a framework, we then assess internal processes to determine areas that may need increased focus.  Some of the mechanisms utilized in reaching project goals may include establishing a "dashboard" for important metrics, benchmarking the competition or looking at employee track records after they are hired.  Regardless of the approach, you can be sure that the ANOVIA consultants will provide a tailored solution and one that will yield positive outcomes related to increased employee productivity, exceptional customer service, high morale, retention of organizational knowledge and effective succession planning.   

Managing human capital needs during a merger or acquisition can be one of the most difficult challenges business leaders face today.  At the highest level, there is focus on the executional duties involved with the "deal"; however, almost as important is the proper handling of employees. 

With extensive experience in handling M&A transitions, the consultants at ANOVIA can help develop an overall strategy, be available for "feet on the ground" operational work, and anything in between.  We provide the support needed in various facets of M&A activity including upfront due diligence, the employee impact and vendor relationships, not to mention the after-effect on the company culture.   

At ANOVIA we know that in order to make your programs or message successful, it is critical to effectively get the word out to your target market.  We work with clients to develop materials that communicate the details behind important messages such as benefits, wellness, merger/acquisition activity and company news.  We focus on the proper positioning and the "right" vehicles to communicate the message.  This can take the form of company newsletters, employee letters, flyers, basically anything you’d need to inform, excite or inspire your target market.
