(NYSE: PBI) today met with President Barack Obama to help the President understand how the companys total value approach to employee well-being has boosted productivity, enhanced employee well-being and saved money. President Obama convened a meeting including several CEOs to highlight the ways in which progressive employers are contributing proven ideas to address the spiraling cost of health care in America. The strategy session was one component of the Administrations overall effort to lower health care costs, expand access to health insurance, and improve the health and lifestyles of American citizens. We have been innovating with our employee wellness efforts for nearly two decades and are proud of our results, Martin said following the meeting with the President. While our number one priority has always been to enhance the health of our employees, our approach consistently delivers lower costs when compared to benchmark companies. It is truly the best of both worlds.
