to improve health behaviors
CHICAGO, IL (April 20, 2006) - Michael Dermer,
President and CEO of IncentOne, a leading provider of award-winning incentive
solutions, spoke to the Midwest Business Group on Health (MBGH) on April 12th
at the Swissotel in Chicago. The program was part of the MBGH’s 2006
Learning Network Series: “Translating Solutions into Actions.”
The event, Health Benefit Contribution Strategies & Incentives, also
featured speakers Steve Kraus, Partner at Deloitte & Touche and Eileen
O’Shea, Director of Employee Benefits at McCain Foods USA.
Mr. Dermer’s presentation focused on using incentives
to motivate employees to engage in healthy behaviors. He discussed the need
for an integrated solution as the best way to align incentives with a
company’s health promotion initiatives. Mr. Dermer also presented an
overview of tax compliance issues and ROI and the importance of driving
program goals – participation, engagement and behavior change. Using
incentives in driving the reduction of healthcare costs is currently an
extremely important topic for many executives and this program was the
MBGH’s best attended event of the year. According to Larry Boress,
President and CEO of MBGH, “Employers throughout the nation are
addressing the need to get their workers engaged in the financial and
clinical management of their health and benefits. Incentive programs
that match the culture and strategies of the employer and its benefit
programs are essential to the process.
