Presented by Todd Whitthorne

The world of employee benefits has never been more challenging. The constantly-evolving landscape in the business of healthcare, combined with increasing rates of preventable disease, has made the topic of employee health a top priority. 

“Wellness” is no longer an option, it’s a necessity. 

This high-energy presentation will help you understand the scope of the problem, but more importantly, will provide you with specific action steps.  Learn why strong leadership, company culture, and programs that target health risks such as Metabolic Syndrome can have a positive effect on your organization’s bottom line…and in the process, make you look like a rock star!

At this program, you will:

1. Understand the explosive growth of risk factors such obesity, pre-diabetes, and metabolic syndrome and why they have such an impact on the large-claims report.
2. Understand the significant difference between engagement and clinical improvement and why it matters.
3. Learn how to develop programs and interventions that will actually improve health and experience.
