Last week, the university launched its annual MHealthy Rewards programhttp://hr.umich.edu/mhealthy/programs/rewards/faq.html. This program is designed to get faculty and staff in the habit of reviewing their health and taking action to achieve their goals.
This year's program has been simplified and includes just two steps:
Complete the confidential annual health questionnaire. This takes less than 15 minutes and you will be able to view your personal health report immediately.
Complete a confidential wellness screening.
Qualifying, benefits-eligible employees who complete both steps by May 2012 receive a $100 before-tax reward in their paycheck. Use the incentive to treat yourself, donate to your favorite charity or a worthwhile cause, surprise someone you value with a token of appreciation, or whatever you choose.
Not only can your participation help improve your health, but also MHealthy Rewards will provide the university with longitudinal data that contribute to the study of the health of our faculty and staff community and the impact of employer-sponsored health and well-being programs. To get an accurate reflection of the university’s health profile, it is important that even those who consider themselves healthy and active participate in MHealthy Rewards.
If you have questions or encounter any difficulties with the questionnaire, or if you would like to provide feedback on the program, please contact MHealthyhttp://hr.umich.edu/mhealthy/programs/rewards/faq.html. I hope you will join me and many of your fellow colleagues in making a commitment to health and wellness.
