Employees and their spouses can automatically be credited with My Wellness points throughout the year simply by syncing an eligible fitness tracking device to the My Wellness portal and taking at least 8,000 steps per day. Information and instructions can be found in the FAQ document.
The new My Wellness program year began on Sept. 1 and runs through Aug. 13, 2027, and provides tangible and intangible incentives for engaging in certain activities that promote well-being. Program participants can earn one point each day that they take and record 8,000 steps, up to 200 points during the program year. Additionally, they can earn one point for each day that they engage in at least 30 minutes of active physical activity. While these activities can be recorded manually each day, syncing a fitness tracker offers a seamless experience by automatically awarding points.
Fitness trackers have been found to have immense benefits well beyond automatic My Wellness points. Depending on the features of your device and how you use it, a fitness tracker can provide several benefits, including:
- Encouraging higher levels of physical activity and exercise
- Boosting motivation and self-confidence by helping you track and measure progress
- Fostering social connection and accountability through shared fitness goals with family and friends
- Increasing awareness of healthy lifestyle habits
- Supporting heart health monitoring through features such as heart rate and pulse tracking, which may help users identify potential health concerns earlier
- Delivering the many benefits associated with regular physical activity, including reduced pain, better sleep, improved mental well-being and increased mobility
For instructions on how to sync a fitness device to the My Wellness program, reference the FAQ document located on the Benefits and Wellness page.
