Biography
Barbara Fulmer has dedicated the last 15 years to workforce productivity and corporate health initiatives as a senior level executive within healthcare organizations.
Barbara is the founder and president of Get Corporate Health, dedicated to helping employers proactively take control and create programs to not only motivate employees, but drive behavioral change toward healthier lives and a healthier workforce … which results in improving productivity, and the bottom line.
As a consultant to Nutrisystem, Medifast and HealthyWage, and former Global Managing Director of Jenny Craig International’s Corporate Wellness Group, Barbara gained entrée into over three hundred Fortune 1000 corporations. She has had exposure to the costly health issues impacting the American workforce, and seen the challenges from an insider’s perspective. Much insight was gleaned from her clients -- the leading employers and healthcare companies in the country – such as Walt Disney, Wells Fargo, RiteAid, Humana, Aetna, Cigna, Anthem/Wellpoint, and most Blue Cross organizations.
Previously, Fulmer was Jenny Craig’s National Director of Training, delivering leadership, sales, management and communication training to over 4000 field staff, while introducing cutting edge training programs and innovative training solutions such as online learning and knowledge management.
Before joining Jenny Craig, Barbara founded and ran her own corporate event company, New York based Corporate Games, which pioneered the concept of ‘play’ as a superior medium for learning and exchanging information. The company created customized, spirited interactive ‘game shows’ to inject life into meetings and conferences, as well as extreme challenges for organizations such as OnlineBenefits, Watson Pharmaceutical, Tenet, TransAmerica Life Company, Roche, United Healthcare and Allergan.
Barbara was featured in Fortune, Time Magazine and the New York Times.
