Allow me to introduce myself: I'm Emily Payne, and I've now been BenefitsPRO's managing editor for all of two weeks. I just moved to Denver from Madison, Wisconsin, where I spent the last seven years on the editorial team for a B2B publication covering the athletic, fitness and recreation industries.

What does that have to do with brokers, benefits and insurance? A lot, actually.

I've moved from serving an industry actively trying to help people get healthy and change the way we think about wellness to an industry focused on facilitating access to those same resources and making them affordable. Employee wellness programs, corporate fitness, health insurance incentives, obesity epidemic, population-health management, fitness wearables, evidenced-based outcomes — these are just a few of the terms that continue to hold relevance as I transition to a new industry.
