Val Fields, director of human resources, Associated Industries:Whether loved or loathed by employers, the acronym PPACA (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) has certainly become the most recognizable abbreviation of the decade. However, when asked what changes the PPACA will bring to their company, many employers report they have little information on exactly how health care reform will play out.Some Associated Industries members say they view upcoming PPACA changes with trepidation. However, most tell us that our country is headed in the right direction. In fact, employers who currently provide adequate benefit coverage and who employ 50 or more mostly full-time workers tell us they have little concern about PPACA's coming changes.

Deb Brady, director of AET Benefits, Associated Industries: Wellness initiatives generally involve health-risk assessment and healthy activities, such as walking challenges, health-awareness seminars, and other events that promote an active lifestyle. A health-risk assessment often starts with employees of participating companies undergoing a biometric screening, which tests cholesterol, blood-sugar levels, and other risk factors that can be identified through blood tests. Once the person receives those results, he or she fills out an online survey containing questions about the results of the blood work, height, weight, waist circumference, and health-related behaviors. The program then makes recommendations to improve the worker's health. Brady says it makes people more aware of their wellness. There have been some life-altering changes in people's health as a result. (Spokane Business Journal).
