Best Practices for Premium Differentials
in Tobacco Cessation

Tobacco use continues to be one of the most costly, deadly addictions in the U.S., and tobacco cessation remains the most cost-effective health benefit you can provide. But how do you get tobacco users at your company to quit? The most successful organizations have implemented a premium differential tied to participation in a proven tobacco cessation program.
 
As a human resources professional, you know how complicated it can be to design and implement initiatives that lead to real, cost-saving behavior change. A good first step is to study other organizations and learn from their experiences.
 
Join us on Tuesday, March 13 or Tuesday, March 20 for our latest Clear Insights webinar, Best Practices for Premium Differentials in Tobacco Cessation.  Alere Wellbeing's Vice President of Client Services, Yuki Yang, will be joined by a panel of human resources professionals from Sherwin-Williams, Family Dollar, and WellPoint, who are experienced in premium differentials. Together they will share lessons learned and best practices.

 
What You Will Learn:

  • What is a premium differential

  • Why one size does not fit all

  • How to plan, launch, and implement a premium differential
