The new initiative will include tools and protocols to promote improved lifestyle choices that inspire a healthier culture for ABA members, their employees and their families.

JMB Insurance Senior Vice President Bruce R. Schlesinger added, “Given the cost and importance of benefits today, all businesses, including law firms, must be diligent in identifying problem behaviors and designing benefit programs that will influence change.
