For implementing integrated results-based incentives for corporate health and wellness programs

Stratum Benefit Solutions has launched Corporate Health IQ, a corporate health risk assessment and strategy for designing and implementing integrated results-based incentives for corporate health and wellness programs.

Joe Ceccacci, co-founder and managing partner of Stratum Benefit Solutions, said: “Our clients expect us to work hard to help them identify opportunities to reduce their costs. Bringing innovative approaches to our clients mean reduced premiums and reduced costs. We are invested in our clients’ success, and a move to fee- and performance-based compensation is in our clients’ best interests.”

Robert Gearhart, co-founder and partner of Stratum Benefit, said: “Corporate Health IQ makes sense to our clients. Based upon our significant and demonstrated experience, clients that have embraced our approach are seeing the results. Premium and plan options are linked to specific goals like BMI less than 27.5, blood pressure less than 130 over 85 and other lifestyle related measures such as cholesterol and smoking.

“Another client, Simonton Windows, a division of Fortune Brands, is entering its second season of incentive-based wellness and seeing an overall improvement in BMI, LDL, cholesterol, blood pressure and smoking results. Working with our preferred partner, Bravo Wellness, we implemented this program at Simonton Windows in 2008.

Stratum Benefit Solutions is a business unit of Stratum Group. Its Corporate Health IQ is a 360-degree corporate health risk assessment.
