Did you read the recent article in the Boston Globe about IBM’s recent change in strategy over employee health?

It seems that in 2004, they began to invest in Behavioral Health, which means they have paid counselors, coaches, trainers, etc.

to help people improve their diet and lifestyle at home and at work, and guess what? These people have enjoyed better health, higher productivity, and lower healthcare expenses. This is big!! (blue) They are not the first ones to discover it, it’s common sense, and it’s been practiced by MANY other companies, even local companies, such as EMC, CVS and Staples. But every new success, when shared, gives more people hope and more companies hope that they too can reverse the scary trend of lower productivity, and higher employee costs.

I am specializing in setting up private programs (ie, not through your insurance provider) with smaller employers (250 employees or less), which can be tailored to your exact requirements. For more information, contact me at 508-333-4153 or www.DavidsOrganic.com
