Vyhlidal plans to speak abot how Lincoln Industry achieved a 500% return on investment through its Health and Wellness program. Specifically, Tonya’s presentation will show how a plating company took well-being and made it a key company focus. While most companies focus only on the core business components in their strategy development, Lincoln Industries took wellness and made it a company belief statement, core concept, and business strategy. Tonya will show how the organization’s wellness program has transformed its people and its bottom line.
As Wellness, Safety, and Life Enhancement Director for Lincoln Industries, Tonya Vyhlidal is responsible for the occupational health, safety, benefits, and health promotion programs for a workforce of over 400 people. The programs have yielded a 500% return on investment, and the company routinely saves well in excess of $1 million per year. Lincoln Industries has reduced overall lifestyle associated medical claims, workers compensation claims and modification rates, and has health insurance costs per person at as much as 50% below the U.S. average.
