September 17, 2025 by Deidre Mings

Complete at least two items to earn the full discount

Educational questionnaire, flu vaccination, biometric screening

To educate employees about health benefits resources, support proactive health management and reduce the impact of influenza on our workforce, full-time employees enrolled in the Health Plan will qualify for the full 2026 wellness incentive by completing any two of these actions by Dec. 1, 2025:

  • Watch/complete an educational โ€œDid you know: Fresh Factsโ€ questionnaire through My Learning Connection (Nov. 1-Dec. 1)
  • Receive a flu vaccination (between Aug. 1-Dec. 1)

Each activity is worth a $15 monthly incentive. Employees may complete any two of the three activities to receive the full $30 monthly incentive, a savings of $360 yearly. Completing all three activities is encouraged to maximize health benefits; however, the maximum incentive is $30 monthly.
