Most importantly, you can learn about and make improvements to your personal health and well-being! 2018 s WELLNESS FOCUS In the 2017 Employee Wellness Program, Aspirus Business Health reviewed the biometric and health assessment results to find that Marathon County s top 3 risk factors for the population are weight management (75%), stress (57%), and nutrition (57%). This year s wellness program will have wellness events, activities, and challenges that focus on those areas to help employees reduce their risk. Marathon County cares about the health of their employees and will continue in 2018 to work with Group Health Trust and Aspirus Business Health to work towards being the safest, healthiest and most prosperous in the state. WHAT IS DIFFERENT IN THE 2018 EMPLOYEE WELLNESS PROGRAM? Our 2018 Employee Wellness Program will consist of a few new features that will allow you to participate in more wellness activities and earn more wellness incentives. You will still be required to complete a health assessment, biometric screening and meet with our Health Coach for two health coach sessions to set your wellness goals. Additionally, you can choose to participate in more wellness challenges, events, and activities based on your interest to earn you additional incentives. WHAT DOES OUR HEALTH COACH DO? Our Health Coach is a wellness specialist and supportive mentor who encourages individuals to cultivate positive health choices. She is a resource to help educate and support employees in achieving their individual health goals through lifestyle and behavior changes. Our health coach is a confidential resource for all employees. YOUR ASPIRUS MANAGEWELL WELLNESS PORTAL In 2018, you will continue to have access to your own personal and confidential wellness portal.
