Extra cash on your paycheck from 'Be Well UC'

If you haven’t yet begun to earn your "Be Well UC" incentive, now’s the time to start. There is a full menu of options available for you to choose from, and there’s a good chance you’ve already earned some points. You just need to log them. Consider these quick questions:

• Have you had any health screening done at all, such as a blood pressure check, or a vision or hearing screening? Each are worth 5 points, up to 20.
• Have you been to the dentist since January? That’s 5 points (and you can earn this twice).
• Have you volunteered at all? That’s also worth 5 points (and you can earn this 4 times).
• Have you participated in any on-campus programming with the Staff Success Center or the Office of Equity or Inclusion? Count that as professional development for 10 pop-up points.
• If you haven’t yet chatted with a Health Coach – why not now? All calls are completely confidential and can help you work toward creating a healthy goal to reach by fall (and they’re worth 25 points). Book yours now at http://bit.ly/HealthCoachCall. Check out testimonials at https://www.uc.edu/hr/bewelluc/healthcoaching.

What’s listed above will earn you 50 points – or $50 – for things you may have already done. Visit http://bit.ly/BWUCIncentives for the full listing of events, including upcoming on-campus BIG POINT options:

Treat yourself to time with a trainer or a registered dietitian with Campus Recreation (https://www.uc.edu/campusrec.html), buy yourself a new pair of comfy shoes, pick a colorful water bottle or maybe a massage or other relaxation option.
