So what are the costs of ill health and lost productivity?
13
HEALTH & PRODUCTIVITY
Poor behavior is damaging U.S. population health status —with significant cost consequences for employers
• 2004 U.S. health care spending totaled about $1.8 trillion (about 14% of GDP)
• Modifiable conditions impact health care costs, productivity, and mortality– Obesity accounts for as much as 36 percent of cost increases
– Obese individuals are twice as likely to have high absenteeism
– Average diabetic misses 8.3 days per year vs. 1.7 days for people without diabetes

PARTNERS IN HEALTH
GOAL: To provide U.S.-based employees with resources and programs that help them enjoy healthier and longer lives, leading to better managed health care costs.
We attempt to reach this goal by helping EM employees and their dependents who are participants in the Medical Plan to :
• Stay healthy
• Become better “users” of health care by offering them tools and resources to help make good health care choices
• More easily access quality health care that’s truly needed
• Avoid unnecessary health care costs
Partners in Health, ExxonMobil’s comprehensive health care strategy, was implemented for U.S. employees and pre-65 retirees in late 2003
18
PARTNERS IN HEALTH
Achieved primarily through specialized resources delivered through the health plan, supported by comprehensive participant communications
• Participant outreach, coordination of care and direction to Centers of Excellence by dedicated Health Advocate teams
• Disease and care management programs for cardiac, diabetes, musculoskeletal, and cancer
• Health information and risk awareness through customized health portal and annual health risk assessment

Some last words…Supporting all our other health and productivity improvement efforts:
Behavioral Health Behavioral Health ProgramProgram
23
Behavioral Health Program
According to the Employee Assistance ProfessionalAssociation of America, a well-run Employee Assistance Program (EAP) can reap an employer the following savings:
• 33% percent less use of sick leave benefits• 65% lowered incident of workplace accidents• 30 % deduction in worker’s compensation claims• 35% decrease in health insurance expenditures
The US Department of Labor has shown that for every dollar invested in an EAP, the employer saves five to sixteen dollars.
24
PARTNERS IN HEALTHBEHAVIORAL HEALTH• Confidential, counseling services that
help individuals and their eligible family members work through challenges of life.
– Counseling– Work-Life issues– Financial Issues– Legal Issues– Emotional aspects of other health
problems
25
Behavioral Health Program
ExxonMobil Employee Health Advisory Program includes:
– Telephonic Consultations (24/7) and Crisis Support
– Face to Face Counseling Sessions--short term problem resolution & referrals
– Management Consultation Support Services (Supervisory Referrals)
– Employee and Supervisory Worksite Trainings
– Critical Incident Stress Debriefing Sessions
– Program promotion (push e-mails, posters, wallet cards, website, health fairs)
– Legal and Financial Services
– Dependent Care Resources and Referrals (child to elder care)
26
Behavioral Health Program
Managed Mental Health Program– Cross referrals between medical vendor and MH vendor– Co-manage cases with medical vendor with medical and mental
health diagnosis (example—heart disease with depression)– Intensive mental health case management with acute, chronic and
complex conditions (frequent contact up to 1 year with patient and family)
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, an estimated 17 million Americans experience serious depression each year. Patients with depression utilize significantly more health care services, leading to health care costs that can be twice as much as for those without depression.
Annual costs for lost productivity and absenteeism exceed $3,000 per employee with depression.
27
Behavioral Health Program
AfterCare Program
– Structured relapse prevention counseling for employees in recovery from chemical dependency addiction for 2 year duration
– Company support through supervisor, MOHD and union representation
– Random drug testing for all cases and Supervisory addiction training
Alcohol and drug abuse has been estimated to cost American business
roughly 81 billion dollars in lost productivity in just one year - $37 billion
due to premature death and $44 billion due to illness.
Of these combined costs, 86 percent are attributed to drinking.
29
Malaria Control Program
BACKGROUND• As personnel numbers increased in sub-Sahara Africa, we needed a Malaria
Control Program (MCP)
• In 2001, EM developedand implemented a comprehensive MCP based on A-B-C-Dstrategy:
A = AwarenessB = Bite PreventionC = Chemoprophylaxis
for non-immunesD = Diagnosis early
& treatment
GOALS• Zero malaria cases
in non-immunes• Zero serious malaria
cases/deaths in semi-immunes
30
Adding Management Controls to Malaria Control Program
Despite intensive training efforts and the provision of effective anti-malarial medications as well as bite prevention supplies and vector control efforts, four malaria deaths occurred in Contractors providing services to EM
MALARIA CHEMOPROPHYLAXIS COMPLIANCE PROGRAM (MCCP)• Developed to address issues of non-compliance with chemoprophylaxis• Random urine testing program that seeks to verify the use of effective malaria
chemoprophylaxis by non-immune personnel in areas where required by EM• Required for all EM employees AND all contractors performing services for EM
in malarious areas
MALARIA VISA• Standard online training program using videos and content questions, repeated
annually, to ensure all personnel understand how to protect themselves from contracting potentially fatal falciparum malaria
• Non-immunes sign ‘Attestation Forms’ agreeing to random testing to verify compliance with anti-malarial medication requirements
31
Malaria Control Program – Bite Prevention & Vector Control
MALARIA CONTROL OFFICERS MANAGE PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION AND STEWARDSHIP
PERSONAL PROTECTION• Mosquito bite prevention with insecticide (DEET), permethrin treatment of
clothing, insecticide-treated bednets• Vector control utilizing basic public health measures, including use of indoor
residual spraying, reduction of standing water, etc.
EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT• Needs to be addressed in malarial areas with little remote access or limited
access to quality health care• Needs to be addressed in developed countries (US and Europe) where health
care providers are unfamiliar with diagnosing malaria and not equipped to provide rapid and effective treatment
