        Getting Started

        Looking to earn more vacation hours in 2015 through the Employee Wellness Program? It's a new year and that means the clock has re-set to zero. Where should you start?

        First, review the activity menu and decide which activities you want to complete. We all know if you don't want to do it, you're not going to do it! 

        You can complete any combination of activities for up to 10 hours of vacation. There are a variety of activities available that suit all interests, ages, activity levels and health needs. Best of all? YOU decide what YOU want to do. If you don't want to do something, or can't, pick something else! There are 40 hours worth of different activities for you to choose from. Pick what works for you!

        Want some quick and easy ideas for hours right now? 
        Check it out!
        • Complete the Employee Health Risk Appraisal and earn 2 hours (only available thru March). This survey should take around 15 minutes and will help us to provide health-related information and programs that are tailored to your health concerns.
        • Complete 3 short Health Risk Assessments and earn .5 hour. Go HERE and click on “Health Risk Assessments.” Complete the “General Health” assessment survey, plus two other assessments that either interest you, or are identified as risks through the general health assessment. Submit a Health Assessment Summary Form stating which assessments you took, and one thing you learned about your health from each one (download the form HERE).
        • Follow the Weber-Morgan Health Department on Social Media and earn .5 hour. Follow on Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest to stay in the loop about emerging health threats, wellness events, healthy recipes and more!
        • Read the Weber-Morgan Healthy Living Resource Guide and complete a 10 question quiz about the guide and earn .5 hour. The resource guide can be found by going to www.WeberMorganHealth.org, and clicking on the WMHD HEALTHY LIVING RESOURCE GUIDE. The quiz may be downloaded HERE.
        Remember, only pre-approved activities are accepted. If you have a good idea for an activity please let us know! Email us at weberwellness@co.weber.ut.us Activities submitted for consideration should be broadly applicable (I.E. something that any employee could do, not something that applies to you, personally) and should promote overall wellness and disease prevention. Activity submission is not a guarantee of approval. Accepted activities will be opened up to ALL employees. To to be fair to everyone, please submit suggested activities as soon in the year as possible.
