Humana Acquires EAP and HR Consulting Firm

Humana Inc. has acquired Harris, Rothenberg International Inc. (HRI), a provider of work/life services and employee assistance programs, including employee coaching and training.

“Employee Assistance Programs and work-life programs are key elements of Humana’s ‘total well-being’ approach to helping people lead healthier lives,” said Sean Slovenski, leader of Humana’s Health and Productivity Solutions unit. “HRI will help facilitate the expansion of Humana’s EAP and work-life offering—integrating and enhancing many aspects of the offering.”

Additionally, with the acquisition, Humana expects to create a product that better addresses 3rd party and internal customer needs. HRI’s offering directs members or their caregivers to value-added services while also offering certain ancillary products that assist employees with day-to-day life issues. The acquisition will support Humana’s efforts to help employer-customers reduce health care spending while also targeting productivity challenges.

Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
