State Employee Wellness Program

Working Well, the state employee wellness program was initiated in 1992 for central state government employees (excludes higher education) as a result of savings incurred through the Flexible Benefits Program. The program mission is to improve state employee health and well being. By focusing on the mind and body, we work to assist in improving the health of state employees.

The primary goal of the program is to enhance the well being of state employees by:

• increasing employees awareness of healthy lifestyle choices
• providing support to employees in making healthy lifestyle choices
• assisting in the development of supportive workplace environments in order to meet health promotion goals
• increasing employee awareness of health risks

In addition to central state government, all employees enrolled in health coverage are eligible for fitness center discounts.
