Congratulations to our partner, John Hancock, for being named among the nation’s Best and Brightest in Wellness® by The National Association for Business Resources. The recognition is part of a national program that honors companies and organizations that promote a culture of wellness.
Recognized for introducing a whole new kind of life insurance that features an integrated wellness program through its exclusive US-partnership with Vitality, John Hancock Vitality provides policyholders with financial protection, while rewarding them for making healthy choices. Policyholders earn points for the everyday things they do like exercising, purchasing healthy food, visiting the doctorand staying tobacco-free. The more points they earn, the more opportunities they have to earn rewards from national retailers – and save money on their life insurance premiums.
“When you think about it, the integration of life insurance with a wellness program makes so much sense due to the long-term alignment of insurer and customer interests – it’s truly a win-win proposition,” said Brooks Tingle, senior vice president, John Hancock Insurance. “We are proud to be the first company in the United States to leverage wearable devices and other technologies and offer our customers the opportunity to earn premium savings and rewards simply by engaging in everyday healthy activities. And even though we’re in the early stages, we’re already seeing results. For example, John Hancock Vitality members logged an average of 9,205 steps per day during the first year of the program, compared to the typical adult in the United States, who took an average of 5,900 daily steps.”
An annual program of the National Association for Business Resources, The Best and Brightest in Wellness celebrates those companies that are making their businesses more healthy, the lives of their employees better and the community a healthier to place to live.
