We have annual screening now - if an employee merely completes the screening they receive a credit on their health insurance. In a year or two that credit will be tied to progress toward a “good” wellness score. Covered family members also will be eased into this. Non-smoking already is given a bump.

We have a very strong safety program and wellness is being linked with it - it is all part of taking care of ourselves, our co-workers and our families. That is the cultural part and really foundational for success.

We have a small gym at each major facility and pay for gym memberships at the other locations. We sometimes provide healthy meal guidance; ran a program a few years ago where a dude came in and provided healthy meals (company subsidized), but it didn’t stick. We have a walking track/trail at our biggest facilities (where there is room). We are pretty flexible with employees using the trail or gym during work hours.

We do a lot of safety give-aways; this time of year it tends to be reflective bands so you can walk in the dark, stuff like that. We did free Hep-A shots last year, always have free flu shots, etc as the need arises.

We do not keep track of the cost of any of this, because it is explicitly not about cost it is about health and safety. And we know one heart attack, diabetes case or injury will cost more than all we spend throughout the year for all of our employees. BTW, I’m CFO.
