March 15: Human Resource Executive Forum Mar 15, 2011

Jennifer Benz will speak at the 2nd Annual Human Resource Executive Forum in New York City on March 15 about wellness.

The topic, titled, “Is Wellness Worth It? Pursuing a Real ROI for Wellness,” is from 1:30 – 2:45 p.m.

There’s been much talk about the critical role wellness plays in helping to control skyrocketing health care costs. While many programs rewarding healthy behavior seem to have the best of intentions — and even create enthusiasm among workers — the verdict is still out on just how effective these programs are in improving the health of employees and the bottom line.

While measuring participation is essential for gauging the reach of any wellness initiative, many other measurements, both medical and financial, are equally important when trying to determine the true return on the investment of your programs. Michael Miele and a panel of experts will discuss best practices for ensuring that your wellness efforts are truly boosting the overall health of your workforce and your business — and, in turn, delivering a meaningful ROI.
