Council funds six-month Workspring pilot to create employee wellness program
Summary
Council approved Ordinance 79 to accept a Workspring training and wellness proposal and appropriate $2,400 for a six-month pilot survey and monthly toolkit to develop a customized employee health and wellness program.
Council member Miss Smith outlined a two-part Workspring proposal to create a customized health and wellness program for city employees: a staff survey and a six-month 'monthly spotlight toolkit' of materials the city can use to engage employees. She said the vendor will collect employee preferences and provide emails and handouts that the city can later build on.
Council member McCann introduced Ordinance 79 to accept Workspring's proposal and appropriate $2,400; council passed the ordinance as an emergency measure by voice vote. Miss Smith said the six-month pilot is intended to inform a longer-term program and possible integration with future insurance negotiations.
