ICYMI ? At a recent Fierce Healthcare webinar, our Chief Commercial Officer, Scott Honken, PharmD, joined Susie Bell, MSW, LCSW, CWWPM, NBC-HWC from Indiana University Health for an insightful discussion on?why employer-sponsored weight management programs are a business imperative.
With more than 50% of the population impacted, weight health is no longer a niche issue – it’s a bottom-line business decision impacting cost management, employee well-being, and retention.
Key Takeaways:
?? No Quick Fixes; Scalable Solutions Matter: Sustainable weight management requires long-term investment. Employers should start small and scale programs to meet diverse needs, ensuring accessibility and personalization.
?? GLP-1s or Not? A Holistic Approach Wins: Whether covering GLP-1 medications or not, employers must offer a full-spectrum approach, integrating digital tools, coaching, and clinical support to drive meaningful health outcomes.
?? Employers Must Drive Engagement: Removing barriers and meeting individuals where they are—whether through digital platforms or in-person support—enhances participation and program success.
