County wellness program hits 100% participation; board OKs $200 payments and $500 stipend
Summary
County staff reported full participation in required employee physicals and online assessments; the board approved $200 wellness payments for eligible employees and a $500 stipend for the wellness coordinator after achieving an insurance discount target.
County staff reported that employees met the wellness program goals for the year, achieving 100% participation in required physicals and online assessments and earning an insurance discount for the county.
The briefing said that because the county reached the required 5% insurance discount, eligible employees will receive $200 and the wellness coordinator will receive a $500 stipend. "We had a 100% participation in both physicals and online assessments," staff said. A supervisor moved to approve the stipends and payments; the board seconded and approved the motion by voice vote.
County officials said the participation reduces insurance premiums and reflects employee engagement with wellness initiatives; details on disbursement mechanics will be handled by county payroll.
