Wellness Initiatives

It is estimated that 50% of health care costs are attributable to health risks that can be modified by lifestyle behaviors such as smoking, diet and activity. We believe that it’s critical to include wellness as part of your program because of the direct bottom-line impact it has on controlling your health insurance cost.

We are uniquely equipped to create awareness for your employees through the implementation of monthly wellness articles. Benefit integration of wellness information is distributed to employees in an effort to encourage greater awareness and consumerism. This encourages both the employee and employer to get the most out of their benefits.

The following is a list of sample communications:

  • Information regarding changes to employee healthcare plans
  • Guidance in effectively using benefits
  • Awareness of revisions to carrier procedures and policies
  • Healthcare news that may impact your employees
  • General health and wellness advice
