Linton & Associates, LLC Partners with The Solutions Group Of Albuquerque To Provide Custom Wellness Plans

Linton & Associates, LLC, an employee benefits specialist agency serving New Mexico and the surrounding states, announces that it will partner with Albuquerque-based The Solutions Group, a provider of high-quality employee assistance, wellness, and organizational development programs, to provide custom wellness plans for small to medium employer groups.

As more workplaces are beginning to consider the benefits of offering wellness plans and wellness programs for employees, including lower health care costs, greater productivity, improved morale, lower absentee rates, higher talent retention and enhanced company reputation, there is a need to help these employers design a wellness plan that works with their employees’ needs as well as the organization’s budget and objectives.

The Solutions Group offers a comprehensive range of wellness services that can be combined into a wellness plan that addresses numerous life, health, and wellness needs. These services include:

• Health Risk Assessments and wellness screenings.
• Health Coaching, including programs for smoking cessation, weight management, stress reduction and cardiovascular health.
• Life Points Incentive Program, which allows employees to earn points for doing things like having a mammogram, losing weight, or wearing seatbelts. The Life Points can be accumulated and redeemed for certain incentives provided by the program or the employer.
• Additional services include classes (workplace, lifestyle, and health and fitness topics), health and benefit fairs, chair massage, workplace seminars, healthy cooking instruction and on-site fitness classes (core strengthening, Pilates, and Yoga).
• Regular reports on the effectiveness of the wellness plan design, helping to track the metrics and providing recommendations on how to change any wellness strategies for greater achievement of the organization’s wellness goals.

Linton & Associates, LLC understands that these partnerships increase the value proposition that they can offer to their clients by providing more than just employee benefits products; instead, they offer a complete custom solution for each client.
