WEBINAR DESCRIPTION

The cost of health and disability insurance offered by a large majority of corporations in America has had a severely negative impact on the bottom lines of those employers.  The outdated model of focusing resources exclusively on treating those who are already sick or disabled can no longer be supported in an era of shrinking margins, global outsourcing and the rapidly escalating cost of treatment.

A growing number of employers are taking a proactive approach to containing these costs by providing employee wellness programs as a standard employee benefit.  The research clearly demonstrates that by encouraging healthier choices among their employees, employers are reaping long term savings in terms of sick time, disability and health care costs.  Return on investment (“ROI”) analysis demonstrates that these measurables are only a portion of the cost savings.  In reality, companies that have effectively developed a wellness culture also realize cost savings in recruitment, retention, reputation and employee “presenteeism” (engagement).

Is an employee wellness program right for your company? The statistics indicate that a well thought out program can result in cost savings. But it is critical to understand the key aspects of a truly effective and high ROI employee wellness program. Brad Cooper’s webinar will provide multiple steps your company can take – starting that same day – to begin implementing a program that will meet your ROI goals and objectives. In addition to the 7 key steps covered, attendees will also have the opportunity to analyze their current (or potential) program through the highly regarded Wellness Program Micro-Audit.
