and Improving Employee Wellness

This exclusive online-event provides smart strategies, expert insight and proven best practices to support a culture of health focused on your employees’ health and wellness and a healthy bottom line for organizational success.

Health Reform’s Impact on Employer Health Benefits

The keynote session will preview the results of a 2012 survey that examines employers’ views regarding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. It will uncover the strategies and direction many of the country’s top employers have implemented to adopt and communicate the Health Benefits changes in their organization.

The Affordable Care Act, more commonly referred to as health care reform, was signed into law in March 2010 and made sweeping changes to existing laws governing employer-sponsored group health plans, individual health coverage and governmental health programs that will implemented during the next several years. Since its passage, employers have scrambled to understand the new laws and develop strategies for complying with the various provisions despite a looming Supreme Court challenge to health care reform.

Don’t miss this keynote address to benchmark your company’s strategies and direction against other leading employers.

The 2012 survey was conducted by AonHewitt, Business Insurance, Buck Consultants, Midwest Business Group on Health, the National Business Coalition on Health, and Workforce Management.

Move to Health: Delivering Well-Being within a Well-Being Company

Employers look to their well-being partners to work with them to develop programs that will improve the well-being of their populations.  What happens when a well-being partner looks at its own employee population through the lens of an employer?  How does a well-being partner turn its focus internally to address the well-being of its own employees?

Join us as Erick Shrauger, Healthways Leader for Benefits and Well-Being, shares Healthways experience as an employer implementing a comprehensive well-being program.  The Move to Health program integrates targeted health improvement programs with innovative improvements to the daily operation of the organization to create a culture that recognizes, talks about and embraces well-being.
