Breakout Sessions
Successes and Challenges of Implementing and Managing a Wellness Program
Meijer Stores, a large Midwestern retailer with approx 60,000 team members was seeking to implement a Health Risk Assessment/Wellness program that had monetary rewards/penalties attached to it. Since there is an on-going participation requirement we need to track this and administer it accordingly throughout the year.  The process was complicated by the need to work with several health providers, many of which had different Health Risk Assessment processes and methods to report the results back to Meijer. With nearly 30,000 team members enrolled in a health care plan, the logistics to collect the results and administer them properly is a daunting task. We used a combination of delivered and customized Peoplesoft processes to manage this.  We’ll discuss our successes, challenges, and the lessons learned during this process.

Benefit Administration and Multiple Jobs: Open Forum
Does your company or institution have employees in multiple jobs with multiple eligibility rules? This forum will be your chance to discuss issues with other institutions who have the same day to day issues with benefits administration and multiple job processing as you do.  We want to hear how you have been successful in managing multiple job eligibility (if you have) or how it is causing you many headaches.
