Julie Gloodt

Julie Gloodt works as a Client Manager in Wellness for Horton's Consulting Solutions division. In this role, Julie is responsible for providing clients with expert wellness solutions including health education seminars, on-site biometric screenings, health risk assessments, and health and benefit fairs. Julie is a part of a team of specialists dedicated to helping clients lower healthcare costs and increase productivity by improving employee health.

Before Horton, Julie worked at SmithBucklin and LifeStart Wellness Network where she provided fitness programs and individual health assessments in a corporate fitness center. 

Drawing on her experience, Julie’s approach to wellness is knowing that “one size does not fit all.”

“It’s essential to assess the culture of the organization, and tailor our approach to fit the population’s needs to improve employee engagement and health awareness,” said Julie.

When it comes to her day-to-day work, Julie is known for her constant diligence in helping employers, especially those that wellness is new to, in successfully implementing programs. This also holds true in her approach to customer service and advocacy.

“We need to continuously deliver the highest level of service through best practice recommendations and listening to customer concerns, all while focusing on a total well-being approach,” said Julie. “Employees spend lots of time at work. Therefore, bringing them resources and health awareness is beneficial not only to them but the employer as well.”

For Julie, the most rewarding aspect of her job is seeing a culture of wellness develop when organizations and their employees have a common goal to improve employee well-being.  “Watching how a wellness program comes to fruition and becomes a true part of an organization’s culture is what makes this experience so special and fulfilling.”

Julie received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Health Promotion from the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa. She is from Darien, Illinois and as wellness is a personal passion of hers, she enjoys working out in her free time. When not at work or working out, she loves spending time with her family, being outside, and window shopping.
