MasterBrand Cabinets Selects Bravo Wellness to Manage Wellness Initiatives

"Traditional wellness programs just do not work because they are not tied to results," states Robert Jacobs, Executive Vice President of Human Resources at MasterBrand Cabinets. "Results from other wellness initiatives that Bravo has done cannot be ignored, and results-based wellness programs like Bravo's need to be a critical component of a national health strategy."

"We routinely see over 97% of those eligible participate in the wellness assessment," says Jim Pshock, Founder and President of Bravo Wellness. "Bravo's plans are typically designed to incent participants who choose healthy lifestyle behaviors and increase costs for those who do not. Accommodations are made for individuals with medical issues that might make a typical healthy lifestyle goal unreasonable. Tying employee costs to their healthy choices is a real motivator and actually works."

MasterBrand Cabinets represents the 50^th company to select Bravo Wellness to manage its results-based wellness initiative since its inception in 2008. Bravo Wellness' compliance expertise and state-of-the-art technology enables organizations to find all of the support they need to move beyond wellness participation goals to outcome based programs, whether incentives or penalties are employed. Most of Bravo's clients have experienced a 97% participation and significant return on investment in the first year. Bravo Wellness provides consulting, administrative support for the appeal/reasonable alternative process and custom programming to convert results into a payroll or eligibility file. If needed, Bravo Wellness can also arrange biometric screenings, health risk assessments and health coaching through strategic partners.
