Key Take AwayIn this webinar, we will discuss what an Employee Wellness Program is, the different types of Employee Wellness Programs and the different laws and regulations that come into play.OverviewDoes your company offer an Employee Wellness Program? Employee wellness programs, if done correctly can be a win-win for employers, employees, and safety professionals, insurance carriers…well the list goes on! Conversely, if your company’s wellness program is not set up correctly it can spell trouble for you, no matter how well-meaning you may have been in setting up that program. Why is that? First if your Wellness Program is connected to a Group Health Insurance Plan, you will probably have requirements you must meet under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). But that’s not all. The EEOC in May issued final rules regarding the impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Genetic Information Non-discrimination Act (GINA).Why Should You AttendBefore you throw up your hands and walk away, join us and we will tell you how you can set up your Employee Wellness Program to get the maximum benefit and avoid the pitfalls.Areas Covered In This Webinar• Intro/Overview: What is a Wellness Program• HIPAA Rules/Obligations:• Participatory v.
