Over time, Chrysler LLC delivered a 2.6 to 1 return on investment for its wellness programs by engaging employees, revealing company resources to those with high risk factors and rewarding healthy behaviors with premium incentives. Notably, the programs are completely voluntary.
“I think [these results] are significant because these programs aren’t mandatory; people participate on their own,” said Kate Kohn-Parrott, the former director of integrated healthcare and disability at Chrysler LLC. Now President and CEO of the Greater Detroit Area Health Council, Kohn-Parrott shared wellness best practices the car company achieved during her tenure as part of a webinar series presented by Change Agent Work Group (CAWG) and facilitated by the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans.
