Smoking Cessation: How to Cut Costs and Increase Employee Buy-In
Course Description:
A smoking employee is an expensive employee. And it’s more than just added health care costs. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention medical expenses for smokers total more than $75 billion annually, and cost their employers more than $82 billion in lost productivity.
With startling stats like these it’s no wonder leading organizations are looking to smoking cessation programs to help combat these astronomical costs.
Consider, an effective smoking cessation program in your workplace will:
- improve employee health
- increase productivity
- reduce costs
- enhance job satisfaction, and
- promote a better corporate image
But how do you implement a smoking cessation program that benefits your bottom-line, and encourages your employees to not only enroll in the program — but to stick with it?
Join CCM and our panel of wellness and HR legal experts in this invaluable audio program to learn how to:
- Determine your company’s health liability
- Choose the right health insurance plan that covers anti-smoking pharmacotherapy and tobacco cessation counseling
- Address and implement smoking policies in the workplace
- Measure costs associated with implementation
- Get employees to "buy-in" with added incentives and effective communication
- Calculate your financial return on investment and the resulting benefits

Dr. Schroeder is Distinguished Professor of Health and Health Care, Division of General Internal Medicine, Department of Medicine, UCSF, where he also heads the Smoking Cessation Leadership Center. The Center, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the American Legacy Foundation, works with leaders of more than 50 American health professional organizations and health care institutions to increase the cessation rate for smokers. It has expanded the types of clinician groups that support cessation, developed an alternative cessation message (Ask, Advise, Refer), created new ways to market toll-free telephone quit lines, and engaged the mental health treatment community for the first time. Between 1990 and 2002 he was President and CEO, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
