Producer conference onsite screening event

• We wanted you to experience our health screening services…

What could have been….

• It’s free, it’s convenient and we had poor participation…

What happened?

• Made the same mistakes thousand of HR people make every day:– Assumed because WE personally understand the

benefits that all employees must think like us…offer it and they’ll come!

Onsite Screening Event

• “We” gave you no compelling reason or incentive and communicated via stealth tactics…

• Result – we had 18 of 130 attendees sign up

Onsite screening event

• To promote wellness programs, it takes sustained effort and proactive (over)communication!

• Employees need:– Awareness– Trust– Buy in - What's in it for them– Multiple methods of ongoing communication– Incentives or simply a call to action

• How could this possibly be communicated on a postcard (or wellness table, etc.)?

existing wellness program with engagement solution

• Bundled wellness & engagement solutions for the mid-market (100 to 3,000 lives)

• Customized wellness & engagement programs (typically 3,000+ lives)

Market feedback• While we’ve been inspired that:

– Clients need this solution

– Brokers like to offer this solution

– It provides producers another compelling communication solution

– Clients get positive results

Market feedback• We’ve also heard loudly that:

– Clients (and producers) like to customize

– Clients don’t always like being told to tie programs together (e.g. voluntary and wellness)

– Many clients don’t want to make choices – would rather an “expert” tell them what to implement

Consultant feedback

• Market opportunity– Much larger than anticipated– Recognize strength in broker distribution

• HealthFitness solutions– In line with market desires– Acknowledged many do not see

tie between voluntary benefits and wellness (three decisions necessary)

Large and growing mid-market for wellness:

• Big opportunity– ~$800m available market

($360m via brokers), fragmented competition, emerging innovation areas

• Right solutions– Large and growing “full-range wellness” buying

segment with advantage for single-vendor with broad solutions offering

LifeHealth & Wealthenhancements for 2013• Positioning:

– Wellness tailored solution options– “Why wouldn’t you?” vs. “You have to.”

• Health screening package options/tablets tech• Addition of achieve incentive tracking option• Engagement - more multimedia available• Modular marketing pieces• More systems flexibility coming

– >$25m investment in Portal 2.0
