Well-being workshop

As part of its well-being program, the University System of Georgia will offer an information workshop April 17 at 11 a.m.

Register online at https://bit.ly/2EFURW9 to attend the workshop via WebEx or in person in Room AB of the UGA Training & Development Center.

During the workshop, participants can learn simple strategies for well-being: how to get started; where to go to learn more about your well-being; what your focus areas and health activities should be; and how to earn well-being credits of up to $100 for participating in healthy activities.

Employees can earn well-being credits for many activities, including taking a health risk assessment, well-being coaching, tracking healthy habits, participating in local community events and other opportunities.

The well-being credit is only ­available to employees and spouses covered on a USG health care plan and will be paid to the participants in ­November. It is considered taxable income. Health ­information is confidential and will not be shared with the USG. Employees may participate in the program all year, but must complete activities by Sept. 30 and be a current employee at the time of ­payment to earn the well-being credit.
