Corporate Wellness Conference Engages Employers to Raise the Bar for Corporate Wellness Programs

Royal Palm Beach, FL, July 16, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Employers and Health Insurance Leaders gather at large to discuss challenges and opportunities in implementation of Corporate and Worksite Wellness, seeking solutions under healthcare reform during the National Corporate Wellness Conference, taking place September 20th-22nd, 2010 in Los Angeles.

Employers are emerging from the healthcare crisis as healthcare costs continue to rise and employees become unhealthier and lead unhealthy lifestyles that result in the development of more serious health conditions. Corporate Wellness is one of the high hopes for the healthcare industry in lowering costs and making health insurance more affordable. Employees and their families need to become engaged in their health and learn to live healthy lifestyles every day. Engaging in healthy behavior is one of the only chances of reducing the serious health conditions that will develop later in life.

Annie Leko, Honeywell Wellness Program Manager states, “The corporate work atmosphere brings new challenges and tests to the everyday wellness endeavors we face as health professionals. As one of the fastest rising issues faced in the United States today, Healthcare and Worksite Health Programs are growing and changing at an unbelievable rate. Events like the Corporate Wellness Conference offer a place for all health industry advocates to come together and share statistics and what the past has proven, new ideas that are working to push forward in the corporate wellness industry and future market outlooks. Let’s get after it together…because we will make a change!”

Corporate Wellness is an emerging industry that most employers are starting to implement. The biggest challenge for employers is generating the understanding about which corporate wellness programs have successful results and a return on investment, and those that do not.

Robert Davenport, the Wellness Manager for the NASA/Johnson Space Center said, “The Corporate Wellness Conference is a tremendous opportunity for professionals in the wellness industry to exchange ideas and learn tried and true practices of other companies navigating the health and productivity management challenges faced by all organizations today. I look forward to sharing my experiences and challenges with attendees and applying solutions gathered from this meeting in my organization.”
