Graco Inc. is a publicly-held manufacturing company located in Minnesota. They established their wellness program in 2008 when healthcare costs began to rise and threaten their overall cost structure and margins.

Over ten years, Graco found what works for their organization and has evolved the program to create a healthier, more engaged workforce, which in turn has led to significant healthcare cost reductions.

Watch our recorded webinar where we discuss Graco's wellness journey with their HR, Health, Wellness and Safety Manager, Kellie McLaughlin.

On this webinar, you'll learn:

• How Graco got started with wellness and how they built their vision.
• Their data-focused approach to evolving their benefits to support employee well-being.

Kellie McLaughlin is a Human Resources, Health, Wellness and Safety Manager for Graco Inc. She has been with Graco since 1998 and is responsible for the Lubrication Division coupled with corporate responsibilities for managing the Health, Wellness and Safety team.

She has a bachelors’ degree in organizational leadership and over 30 years of experience in the various human resources disciplines.
