Track E: Compensation and Benefits. MaineGeneral Health demonstrated $1.4M in medical savings in 2009. How did they achieve this? Becky Lamey, Senior VP of HR at MaineGeneral, and Denise Dumont-Bernier, Director of MaineGeneral’s Workplace Health, will demonstrate step-by-step their own workplace wellness success story. Key factors to their story include how on-going annual HRAs, biometrics, and health coaching can reduce health risks, improve productivity, and reduce costs to an organization.
