Low and No Cost Wellness Plans that Improve Employee Health and Your Bottom Line

Course Description:

No pain, no gain? That maxim doesn’t hold true when it comes to employee wellness programs.

In these lean times, most employers are under the impression they can’t afford to fund extensive, expensive wellness programs. But, equally, they can’t afford ever-increasing health care premiums.

Yet, despite the ongoing recession, a recent survey by Watson Wyatt and the National Business Group on Health Wellness Programs shows that employers are continuing to add workplace wellness programs. 

Why?  Besides managing runaway health care costs, smart organizations realize wellness programs can:

• improve work efficiency/productivity
• reduce unscheduled absences
• assist with recruitment and/or retention, and
• even impact workers’ compensation costs and non-occupational disability.

But, to run an effective and efficient program you need to know how to structure your program to address your business needs.

Discover how your organization can offer low, even no cost options that will have a positive impact on employee health – and your bottom line in this must-attend CCM audio conference. 

Leading industry expert, Ralph Colao, a Senior Consultant of Mercer Health and Benefits, will share some low and no cost strategies your organization can implement today. 

During this critical program, you’ll also learn:

• The multitude of benefits wellness plans offer to employers and employees
