(firmenpresse) - BOSTON, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 04/19/12 -- Companies across the country continue to turn to prevention as a key strategy to curb rising healthcare costs. Leading employers are seeking to create a workplace culture of health that helps healthy habits emerge and boosts business performance. Key to this strategy: helping employees make and sustain long-term healthy behavior changes. Today, announced its CEO, Chris Boyce, will share insights during a panel discussion at the titled, "We Can't Stop Trying to Change Behaviors: Will it Work?" Boyce will offer insights and best practices based on Virgin HealthMiles' experience in helping leading employers across the country create and sustain positive long-term employee behavior change.
Lifestyle-related disease and conditions drive 75 percent of the healthcare costs impacting businesses and their employees today. The good news? Changing a few lifestyle behaviors can have a huge impact on health and related costs. But in order to change behaviors and see impactful results, employers must align their efforts with their employees' interests and find meaningful ways to engage and motivate them. Leveraging Virgin's deep consumer roots, Boyce will discuss how taking a consumer's point of view and creating a compelling, personalized experience drives deeper employee engagement and leads to long-term healthy behavior change.
Boyce's panel will take place on April 26 from 2:00-3:00 p.m. PT. The group of experts will discuss the growing emphasis on behavior change as a critical strategy to improve health. The panel will cut past the hype and delve into the real promise of behavior change and what really works. Mike Roizen, MD, Chief Wellness Officer, Cleveland Clinic, will moderate the discussion.
