   For every employer in this country, climbing healthcare costs has been a continuing concern. While the right plan design can have a positive
   impact on an employer's bottom line, there is an additional step that an employer often overlooks which can further reduce their cost.

   Wellness Programs have been promoted as a way for an employer to further reduce their healthcare costs, reduce absenteeism, and
   increase productivity. A properly designed wellness program encourages increased physical activity, positive changes to diet, a smoking
   cessation program and regular preventative doctor visits, all which have proven to have a positive impact on reducing healthcare cost.

   In order to get positive results, employers must lead the way by incorporating health improvement strategies into plan discussions and
​   commit to making health and well being part of the culture of their company.
