Session Description:
With
the substantially rising cost of
healthcare, employers are exploring a
number of ways to keep costs down. One
increasingly adopted approach is the
complementary use of wellness programs
and rewards as a way of encouraging
employees to address their health before
medical problems occur. The aggregate
opportunity for the wellness reward
market is huge: Celent estimates that it
could exceed US$2.7 billion by 2013.
Join Celent senior analyst Red Gillen as
he discusses this market and explores
the potential role for financial
institutions and their technology
partners.
This session is appropriate for senior financial services
executives with responsibility for Employee Wellness
Programs, Retail Banking, Financial
Services Technology Partners, Market Research and Strategy groups.
