Wellness brokers and consultants hold a unique seat at the table of workplace wellness. They intimately understand their client’s needs while also playing a role in shaping emerging markets.

In this webinar, we will discuss ERISA fiduciary duty and whether employers have a fiduciary duty to implement wellness programs that could potentially save the group health plan money. The session will cover basic legal principles involving ERISA law and then apply those concepts to workplace wellness to determine if wellness program stakeholders can advocate for employer investment in workplace wellness as a legal duty of the employer.

Wellness Law Attorney, Barbara Zabawa, has partnered with WELCOA to provide best practices every quarter when it comes to the legal landscape of your wellness program.

Learning Objectives

• Learn about ERISA fiduciary duty.
• Explore how ERISA fiduciary duty may obligate employers to offer workplace wellness programs as part of responsible group health plan management.
• Understand to which workplace wellness programs this possible legal duty would apply.
