(July 14, 2008) - I’d like to introduce you to a company called Health Behavior Innovations (HBI) http://www.healthbehaviorinnovations.com/

In a time of escalating insurance premiums, companies are looking to wellness programs to reduce and manage their health care benefit costs. And employees are looking for ways to reduce their health costs too. One way to serve both of these purposes is for employers to implement wellness programs.

HBI’s wellness program can sometimes cost companies nothing extra to implement and can reduce health care benefit costs within the first year. The HBI wellness program teaches participants how to make healthier choices and live a healthier lifestyle by providing support to participants through coaches and an interactive program that monitors progress. The coaches work with the employees to identify and set health goals and help the participants stay on track, increasing their chances for success.
