Health care costs are a concern to all businesses. During this luncheon, Senator Tom Harkin will discuss wellness and prevention, and the role that employers can play in helping their employees lead healthier lives. Having healthier employees can contain health care costs, improve productivity, and decrease absenteeism.

In 2005, Senator Harkin introduced the Healthy Lifestyles and Prevention America Act, which included tax credits for small businesses who implemented qualified wellness programs.
