Episode Description
Join me as I host live from the Corporate Wellness Conference in Las Vegas. We’ll hear from several attendees on what they have learned and will take back to their employers and employees. Also stopping by is Jonathan Edelheit, chairman of the conference. He’ll share what’s new in corporate wellness. As an attendee myself, I’ll share my experiences as I participate in the Women’s Leadership Summit, Certified Corporate Wellness Specialist training, Corporate Wellness Conference workshops, panel discussions and presentations. We’ll also have the latest on Healthcare Reform. Until then, be well.
Investing in the Future: Creating Wealth Through Health

Our show is designed to help employers understand the complex issues surrounding employee wellness programs. We take deep dives into specific program offerings to learn how and why they work. We look at ways to improve employee engagement and get them excited about wellness as a way of life. We talk to employers about best practices and hear from experts on healthcare reform and legal issues. We cover absenteeism, productivity, incentives, disease management, fitness, stress, ergonomic design and more.
The health of our nation is no longer about personal choices. Obesity and diseases affect us all. They also affect the bottom line of all businesses, large and small. Creating a culture of health in the workplace is no longer optional, it is essential to a healthy balance sheet. Health programming need not be expensive. Failure to actively participate is costly.
My goals are to inform, enlighten and sometimes entertain you. Let’s make a difference in our world today!
