It delivers results comparable to GLP-1 benchmarks and generates measurable ROI for employers.
“Our wellness strategy is not just a ‘program’; it has become a strategic advantage as we build a culture where every associate can thrive physically, emotionally, and professionally,” said Jenny Weidner, Director of Human Resource, Hancock Health.
