Texas Instruments        Description

Introduction
Texas Instruments (TI) is a semiconductor company with 43,000 employees in 25 countries worldwide.  TI is the world leader in digital signal processing solutions, the technologies that make the digital world possible.

Health Promotion (Personal Health Management) is one dimension of TI's multi-dimensional Health Excellence initiative.  Health and well-being are the key enabling factors that provide the vitality and stamina employees (TIers) need to achieve and sustain superior performance results.  TI's Health Excellence strategy has forged the efforts of Health Promotion, Benefits, Texins, EAP, Work/Life, Time Loss Management, and Occupational Health into a unified integrated team with the common goals:

? Lead in shaping a work environment and culture that supports and enhances personal accountability for health, well-being and performance success.
? Create a differentiated benefit plan that attracts and retains the brightest and best employees, and drives organizational behavior norms.
? Develop a fully integrated personal health management model to deliver information and support resources at the time and point of need to employees and families.

Health Promotion programs span the full personal health management spectrum.  Key elements addressed are demand and disease management, health risk management and performance enhancement to optimize well-being and functional capability.  The strategic intent is to provide integrated health enhancement services that enable TIers to achieve their personal best in health, work performance and quality of life.

Priorities and initiatives are driven by business needs.  On-line medical and pharmacy claims, disability and worker's compensation data, demographics, public health trends, risk data and TIer measured care-abouts are analyzed and used to set our Health Excellence business goals and action plans.

To provide access to all TIers and family members at the point of need and readiness we have designed multiple delivery channels which include telephonic, internet, scheduled home mailings, nationwide provider networks and on-site programs and resources.
