Workshop A: Keep Your Best Talent Engaged & Healthy with a Whole-Person Approach to Movement

Movement is good medicine. But research shows that people don’t do enough of it to stay healthy — or they don’t do it correctly to fully recover from injury, surgery or chronic pain.  Movement not only improves musculoskeletal issues it also alleviates comorbidities such as depression, anxiety, obesity, diabetes and heart disease.By taking a holistic, whole-person approach to physical health, you can help your entire population improve their whole health and deal with chronic conditions — while reducing your medical spend, creating a supportive work environment, and improving employee retention. In this engaging, enjoyable workshop, we’ll dig into the science of movement and how regular movement can combine with therapeutic exercise to drive sustainable health and financial benefits. A Doctor of Physical Therapy will lead a short movement class to show you how even a little exercise can drive big benefits and a leader from a large employer’s benefits team will share some of their experiences in providing benefits that really resonate with the needs of their employees, as well as share their hard-won lessons about choosing a vendor partner, driving enrollment, and measuring success. You will also see a real-world example: Rich Krutsch, VP of People Services from ArcBest will join us to share his experiences in providing benefits that resonate with the needs of their people. He will share some of Arcbest’s hard-won lessons about choosing a vendor partner, driving enrollment, and measuring success. This is a great opportunity to see behind the scenes from one of America’s great companies, and learn what has worked—and what hasn’t—in their goal to help their people live healthier, fuller, happier lives.
