With health care costs continuing to rise employer sponsored wellness programs are becoming more popular. As a result many new vendors are entering this emerging market. The design of wellness programs and costs can vary tremendously based on the features and personal services in the program. Programs can be as simple as running an internally managed weight loss or exercise programs to having wellness coordinators coming onsite to run exercise programs and doing health risk assessments. HRBA will work with you to determine what is best for your company and budget.

HRBA can help with wellness in three distinct areas:
Coordinate the set-up of a self managed program - A self-managed program can capitalize on web-based technologies for employers that enable employees to set goals for things such as exercise and weight-loss and track it via the website. These websites often are filled with health and fitness information and sometimes allow people to join peer groups to help motivate. Some of these systems are free and others require a fee. It all depends on what you would like. Some employers will create reward programs for attaining goals. HRBA advisors will work with you to develop a program to fit your needs.

HRBA Sponsored Program - HRBA is in the process of negotiating a deal with a preferred wellness vendor. HRBA advisors collectively have hundreds of clients who may want access to more services but due to the size of their firm or budgets cannot afford to deploy the service or manage it. By using the buying power of hundreds of employers collectively we can negotiate a deal to bring a more enhanced program to our customers at a lower price.

Custom Wellness Program - For those employers that want to outsource a wellness program but design it to specifically to meet their needs HRBA can help find the right vendor. With hundreds of vendors in the market and wide ranging features the process of finding the right vendor can be cumbersome. HRBA can assist as a consultant to help determine needs and find the right solution.

The following is a partial list of some of the common features of wellness programs.

• Onsite Services
• Fitness Training
• Health Screenings
• Education
