Work it Good

No matter what you think about ObamaCare, no one can argue that healthcare costs are very high right now.

Health insurance has quickly become a no-win situation for both employees and employers. No one wants to foot the ever-increasing bill for insurance coverage.

Here in Baton Rouge, one man has a great solution. Denver Benton helps companies develop corporate wellness programs that both benefit employees and reduce healthcare costs for the employer.

I think all companies can be more active in their employees health, Benton said in an interview last week. Because thats their bread and butter their employees.

Benton is part of a growing national trend in corporations to tackle healthcare through prevention. From offering yoga classes at lunch to building a weight room in the basement, more and more business are taking an active role in the health of their employees and the employees are loving it.

Benton has been developing personal wellness programs for a while. Hes a professional running coach, a fitness consultant, and he teaches the occasional fitness class. About a year and a half ago, Benton turned his attention, and skill set, to corporations.

Theres such a need for corporate wellness programs, he said. Most places dont offer anything to their employees. I saw a need for it.

Benton said he first became interested in the idea when a friend of his working at Albermarle approached him.

They wanted to provide more to their employees, more than just a discount at the gym, he said.

He sat down with Maria Rowland, communications program manager at Albermarle Corporation, and head of the wellness committee there.
