Individual health concerns arising from lifestyle choices are projected to negatively impact the longevity and quality of life of the next generation. Research shows that direct return on investment is at least 3 to 1 for employers who successfully engage their employees in an effe ctive Wellness program over a 3 year period. Funding is needed to begin Phase II and Phase II I of this pilot program which will run through calendar years 2007 and 2008, and provide measurable results upon which to base future decisions related to continu ation of this program. Human Resources will provide the Personnel and Finance Committees with quarterly updates regarding the status of activities, employee participation and program costs to allow this pilot program to be monitored and evaluated on an ongoing basis. Employees not working on campus and shift employees will be taken into consideration when activities are developed. Rogers moved approval of the attached suggested resolution. Supported by Suarez.
