Return on Investment for Wellness Programs

Training Provided by Lorman Education Services nMounting evidence indicates that worksite wellness should be part of every strategic health plan. These plans can offer a valuable tool for employers to promote a fit and health-conscious work force that will save employers money by keeping health insurance premiums down, reducing workers' compensation costs, and by increasing productivity and decreasing lost time. Implementing a plan takes time, attention and deserves a well thought-out strategy to ensure it is effective for the long-term health of your employees and your bottom line. n nHuman resource, benefits and compensation staff members are all too familiar with the difficult - some say impossible - task of controlling health insurance costs. Implemented properly, a good wellness plan can and will deliver a positive return on investment and provide a driving force behind lowering health plan costs. But how do you create it, implement it and effectively measure the results to ensure success for the company, its employees and ultimately, the bottom line? n nThis teleconference will discuss why a wellness program should be a point of serious consideration for your company's health plan as well as how you can implement an effective wellness initiative that delivers significant bottom line results. We'll discuss the management of wellness program performance and how selecting the right metrics can provide an ROI reporting structure that is comprehensive, business-focused and will help you communicate effectively with your executive team and, equally important, secure their buy-in. Finally, we'll wrap up with a real-world conversation that highlights a case study of how one company developed a proper strategy, measured their results and delivered staggering and impressive results.
