Mr. Marcotte is the former Vice President of Compensation and Benefits at Honeywell International and former CEO of the Business Group on Health.
“I chose to join the global team at Wisdo Health as a Board Member to help the company achieve its mission of reducing the harmful consequences of loneliness and social isolation on employee health,” said Mr. Marcotte about his new role.
Mr. Marcotte added: “Loneliness and social isolation is arguably the biggest underserved condition in the American workplace. According to Cigna, 58% of employees are suffering from loneliness and social isolation, costing employers $154 billion a year in absenteeism of lonely employees, in addition to its negative impact on medical costs.”
“We are excited to join hands with Brian as we continue to expand our work with self-insured employers and commercial health plans. Wisdo addresses the loneliness epidemic with an evidence-based, scalable, cost-effective solution aligning with current mental health strategies,” said Boaz Gaon, Wisdo Health’s Founder and CEO.
