Got Wellness Program Questions?

We’ve Got Answers!

You know wellness programs can significantly lower health care costs, reduce absenteeism, and increase productivity. Instead of a “nice-to-have,” wellness programs are becoming an essential component of employee benefit packages. Yet, how do you develop and market wellness programs for health plan members with a variety of wants and needs?

The AHIP Center for Insurance Education and Professional Development provides answers in two new wellness courses:

Wellness, Part One: Wellness, Prevention, and Value-Based Care
This course takes a practical approach to worksite wellness, guiding you through the stages of program development. You’ll learn design principles, goals and objectives, how to implement and manage wellness initiatives, techniques for gaining employee participation, and what to expect as a return on investment. You’ll also examine legal issues, wellness ties to consumer health plans, and theories on healthy aging.

Wellness, Part Two: Combating Chronic Diseases through Workplace Wellness Programs
This course explores why employers are ideally positioned to help combat some of the nation’s major health problems such as obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Part One establishes the efficacy of wellness programs. In Part Two, you will take an in-depth look at chronic diseases along with the unhealthy behaviors that often precipitate illness. You’ll acquire knowledge about the workplace as a venue for combating disease, the tools in the wellness arsenal to identify those at risk, and ways wellness approaches can prevent or slow the progression of serious health conditions.

Register for Part One today. Part Two will be available soon. Keep an eye on your inbox for the announcement.
