Minnesota Life Group Insurance Teams With Ceridian to Offer Wellness and Life Benefits Package
St. Paul, Minn. (PRWeb) March 22, 2007 -- Large employers can reduce health insurance costs and provide employees personalized services to build healthier lives with a new health and wellness program offered by Ceridian through Minnesota Life group life insurance plans.
“Packaging a wellness program with our group life insurance addresses a number of issues employers face,” said Robert M. Olafson, senior vice president, Minnesota Life Group Insurance, a Securian Financial Group affiliate. “Wellness programs help drive down medical expenses and boost employee productivity. Along with Minnesota Life's group life products, this value-added service sends the message to employees that management truly cares about them and their families and is giving them the tools to take responsibility for their own health.”
The program is provided and administered by Ceridian Lifeworks and its recently-acquired health coaching firm Leade Health, the leader in outcome-based health and wellness services. “What makes this program unique for Minnesota Life clients is that it ties together health and productivity issues and integrates traditional and preventive solutions to manage them,” said Zachary Meyer, senior vice president, Ceridian LifeWorks. “Bundling this service with the employer's group life insurance benefit also makes it easier for benefits staff to get a wellness program up and running quickly and without an additional administrative burden.”
The savings employers reap from wellness programs are real. Data from the National Business Group on Health show that employers can achieve a three-to-one return on investment in wellness programs. Employees who participate generally lower their medical expenses and out-of-pocket costs, as well.
