Health and Wellness
Our commitment to consumer driven insurance products has led us to a definite conclusion. We, as Americans, must first improve our overall health to have any impact on the healthcare system. In accordance with this philosophy we have designed a wellness program for small businesses which we provide free of charge to our small business customers.
“Health and wellness programs can not only help keep your employees healthy, but also combat increasing health care costs, prevent absenteeism, boost productivity and improve morale."
-Kiplinger Report May, 2008
Our plan is to provide our customers with a turnkey program designed around the federal government’s suggestion that Americans should get 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise five times a week to maintain a healthy lifestyle and have each group provide a small incentive to their employees to encourage participation in the program. The benefits will not be immediate, but we believe that over a three year period our customers will see savings on their total healthcare costs, increased workforce productivity, a reduction in sick days, and lower employee turn-over.
