Employee Wellness Opportunities for Spring 2023

 One Small Change

Long-term healthy living needs simple beginnings. One Small Change is a health behavior change program that encourages participants to identify one health behavior that they would like to adopt, modify, or eliminate and live that change for at least 21 days. Support for identifying a change, as well as living the identified change, comes from attending and participating in small group discussions. 

 

Submit the registration form to sign-up for the group One Small Change program. Prior to the start of the program that you have signed up for, an Employee Wellness team member will email you with all of the attendance specifics that you will need.

Personal Training

Participants of the Personal Training Program will receive a maximum of 16 weekly Personal Training sessions. Due to staffing limitations, this program is available to a limited number of participants. If you would like to participate, please review the Personal Training procedures then watch for the announcement email from People & Workplace Culture’s Wellness Team. If selected, your Personal Trainer will contact you to finalize your training schedule. Due to the high demand for this program, participants are selected based on if they have not participated before and/or how long it has been since they last participated. Prioritization is given to those who have not yet participated.
