More than five years ago, Aetna tackled a challenge facing employers everywhere today: chronic health issues among employees drive up costs and put employees at risk.  As a leading health insurer, Aetna recognized that many of the same challenges the company faced as an employer were the same challenges their customers were facing. Working with Aetna employees as the pilot group, the company was able to create strategies, workplace programs and tools to help employees recognize their health risks and then do something about them. Many of these early experiments went on to become new solutions for Aetna's customers. Elease Wright shares valuable insight and lessons learned during the journey to a healthier workplace.
