Now that we've turned the page on 2020, the healthful resolutions, good wishes and positive plans for 2021 are in full swing. Getting healthy or improving one's health always seems to be a constant on many people's lists, but how to stick to the plan may not. In February 2021, the new and improved Wellfocused app can help with that.
"The new Wellfocused app promotes wellness accountability — which we could all use a little more of," said Janna Rothschild, senior employee health and well-being coordinator of UPHS. "The unexpected twists and turns of 2020 left people feeling a little ungrounded when it came to their healthy lifestyle regimen."
"I love the team challenges on the app, specifically the step challenge," said Emily Mcpeak, UPHS employee well-being coordinator. "Logging into the app daily reminds employees to make better decisions so they can earn points toward an extra $200."
All employees, regardless of their medical coverage, are eligible to earn the annual incentive of up to $200 after downloading the app. In addition, several random employees who download the new app will be named winners of the Golden Ticket challenge and will receive bonus points toward their incentive reward.
