Viverae Selected as Wellness Provider for Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks

Continuing its growth in the corporate wellness industry, Viverae, a national leader in employer health management and services, has been selected by Nokia as its exclusive provider of wellness programs and services.  Under the 3-year agreement, Viverae will implement and manage Nokia’s health and wellness initiative with the guidance of the company’s Human Resources management team.  All US-based Nokia employees will be eligible to participate in the program. 

Viverae will also create and manage a wellness program for employees of Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN), a joint partnership between Nokia and Siemens.  NSN Human Resources team will provide direction for the program.

Nokia is the world's leading supplier of mobile phones and a leading provider of mobile, fixed broadband, and IP networks.   They employ more than 7,500 in manufacturing, sales, research and development, and support functions in Texas, California, Massachusetts and Florida. The company's headquarters for the Americas is in Irving, Texas. 

“Both Nokia and Viverae have been chosen as “Best Places to Work” in our respective industries and regions.  It’s only natural that we would collaborate to bring increased awareness of health and wellness to Nokia and NSN employees,” said Michael Nadeau,

CEO of Viverae.

Linda Fonteneaux, Benefits Manager at Nokia’s US headquarters, will oversee the company’s wellness program with the assistance of Viverae Account Managers.  Fonteneaux stated, “We wanted a comprehensive health program to enhance the lives of our employees at work and at home.  We also needed results that would have a positive impact on our health care costs.  Through our alliance with Viverae, we have an opportunity to accomplish these goals.”

The health partnership between Nokia and Viverae was arranged by Eric Blumberg, Vice President of Dallas-based Lockton Dunning Benefits.  “Viverae’s proven track record as a corporate wellness firm combined with their ability to measure and report health results effectively and accurately makes them a dynamic partner for Nokia,” said Blumberg.
