It鈥檚 a good day to feel good! The University鈥檚 popular Healthy OHIO program kicks off the fall semester with biometric screenings and an exciting Max Buzz鈩 activity tracker program.
鈥淗ealthy OHIO is now in its 11th year and, while it has seen some evolution as national wellness trends advance, I think the greatest evolution we have seen is the administrative support of uplifting employee wellness,鈥 said Jenn Bennett, director of WellWorks.
Healthy OHIO is 帝王会所's employee wellness initiative and is supported by Human Resources and the Benefits Advisory Council. 鈥淭his year, we鈥檙e seeing a large number of University leaders inviting our team to their staff meetings so we can encourage employees to get onto Virgin Pulse, get a health screening and really take advantage of this benefit,鈥 said Bennett.

Healthy OHIO is an umbrella program that houses two rewards programs: an online/mobile wellness platform called Virgin Pulse and biometric health screenings. Additionally, in FY19, WellWorks will be giving away a limited number of Max Buzz 鈩 activity trackers to participants who wish to further engage with Virgin Pulse.
鈥淭he Healthy OHIO program runs year-round but, to really maximize the benefit, now is a great time to dive in,鈥 suggested Annie Laurie Cadmus, WellWorks engagement and marketing coordinator. 鈥淭he Athens campus employees can get their health screenings accomplished right now, eligible employees can register to get a Max Buzz activity tracker and we鈥檙e about to start a new earning quarter on Virgin Pulse.鈥
Cadmus went on to explain that the Max Buzz鈩 activity tracker program is structured in a way to give participants a resource that can help them better engage with their own wellness goals on Virgin Pulse. A limited number of these trackers are being offered to participants throughout the semester at no additional cost to them. Participants who wish to be considered for a device can register online.
