Proactive Healthcare Rewards
WorkWell, which began in 1995, is a program that has been developed for all Western New England University employees encouraging them to take an active part in their own health. There are 2 main components to the program; health education and physical activity. Participation in the program is voluntary. Incentives are available to people who participate in the physical activity for 4 months consecutively. Release time from work is provided to attend educational programs and for exercise time.
The following is an outline of how the exercise/physical activity component works:
- Go to the Center for Health and Well-Being and sign up.
- If you complete the 4 month exercise program you will return to the Center for Health and Well-Being provide your signature attesting to the completion of the program, be given your incentive and be able to sign up for the next exercise session.
- 15 minutes of release time, up to 3 times per week, may be used for exercise (with supervisor's permission).
