GLP-1 medications have created unprecedented interest in obesity treatment—and unprecedented spending for employers. Yet new employee survey data reveals a critical disconnect: many employees view these medications as short-term solutions, while obesity remains a chronic condition requiring long-term support. In this white paper, benefits leaders will gain insight into how employees are accessing GLP-1s, how long they expect to stay on them, and why behavior change remains essential to sustainable outcomes. You'll also explore practical strategies for integrating primary care, behavioral science, coaching, and medication management into a more comprehensive approach.
