ConnectedHealth, the provider of the industry-leading benefits marketplace and personalized shopping platform for employers, health plans and consumers, congratulates its client, Leslie Vander Gheynst, Director of Human Resources at Keller Williams Realty, Inc. who was honored as a “Superstar” by The Institute of Healthcare Consumerism (IHC) for the “Most Effective Implementation of a Private Exchange” in 2014. This award is given annually to forward-thinking professionals who have excelled at implementing solutions for benefit distribution.
Vander Gheynst was nominated based on her commitment to launching a progressive benefits strategy at Keller Williams. Specifically, Vander Gheynst and her team worked with ConnectedHealth to design a co-branded version of ConnectedHealth’s Smart Choices™ Marketplace, called the KW Wellness Benefit Marketplace, which allows Keller Williams’ associates nationwide to easily shop for a full range of medical and ancillary benefits online.
“I am honored to receive this recognition from the IHC for the approach we have developed at Keller Williams to make comprehensive benefit options available to more than 90,000 of our associates,” said Vander Gheynst. “The ConnectedHealth platform has become an integral part of our overarching healthcare strategy and helps drive our company mission of ‘Careers Worth Having, Businesses Worth Owning and Lives Worth Living.’”
For the past several years, the IHC has presented the Superstar Awards to over 60 companies and professionals who inspire consumerism in the healthcare industry. Award recipients were nominated by their peers and selected by the IHC’s editorial team and advisory board in categories such as leadership, plan development and implementation.
“Keller Williams leads the real estate industry by recognizing the advantages of a private exchange, and we’re excited that the IHC is now honoring Keller Williams for their hard work and forward-thinking strategy,” said Joe Donlan, President of ConnectedHealth. “2014 marks the second year in a row that a ConnectedHealth client has been recognized by the IHC for a private exchange implementation strategy, which is a testament to our team’s ability to help businesses offer employees benefit solutions that support healthy, financially secure lives.”
