ROSELAND, N.J., April 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/
-- ADP®, a leading provider of human capital
management services, today announced that The Jackson Companies, a
family-owned enterprise of golf course and campground
establishments in South Carolina,
has selected the ADP Vitality wellness program to help combat a top
business challenge – rising healthcare costs. Designed to
assist midsized companies in fostering a culture of health and
wellness, the ADP Vitality wellness program will enhance The
Jackson Companies' existing "Teammates Getting into Fitness"
wellness initiatives.
More than two-thirds of human resources decision makers in
midsized companies believe the cost of healthcare coverage will
increase faster over the next three years than it has in past
years, according to a recent study by the ADP Research
InstituteSM. The Jackson Companies joins an
expanding list of midsized organizations adopting the ADP Vitality
wellness program to help address this issue.
"We're taking a proactive approach to help our employees live
healthier lives as healthcare costs continue to grow," said
Dennis Wade, Chief Executive
Officer, The Jackson Companies. "Pairing the ADP Vitality
wellness program with our existing wellness activities will help
increase teammate participation by enabling them to access
educational tools and resources at work, home or on the run."
The ADP Vitality wellness solution helps midsized employers with
between 50 and 1,000 employees proactively manage rising healthcare
costs while also helping to reduce healthcare claims and employee
absenteeism. Key features of this incentive-based program
include an interactive wellness portal, health risk assessments,
biometric screenings and personalized wellness plans with
recommended goals and activities. The program integrates with
social networking sites, mobile applications and fitness
technologies to give employees additional support as they pursue
their wellness goals. When employees achieve plan
goals, they earn points toward lowering their health plan
contributions.
"The ADP Vitality wellness solution empowers employers and their
employees to take greater control over their health and medical
costs," said Regina Lee, Division
President, ADP. "By adopting preventative strategies like
health and wellness programs, midsized companies can work toward
lowering health expenses as well as increasing employee morale and
productivity."
