State and University employees are state government’s most valuable resource. Your health and well-being positively influences your ability to be productive and feel engaged in your work, to care for your family, and to do the things that bring you satisfaction.
You have an abundance of resources available to support you on your journey to health and well-being. Now, in addition to comprehensive benefits provided by PEBB, the state is taking steps to provide a supportive foundation to promote health and wellness where you work.
Signed by the Governor in 2017, the Executive Order on State Agency Employee Wellness puts in place two main structures aimed at supporting state agency employee health and well-being:
- Assisting state agencies to develop and implement agency wellness plans aimed at assessing and improving employee health, and
- Supporting agency wellness coordinators with training and technical assistance on workplace wellness.
- Provide guidance to state agencies, PEBB and the Governor’s Office on evidence-based worksite wellness.
- Recommend statewide policies to DAS that support agency health and wellness.
To learn more about what is happening to support your health and well-being at work, contact your agency’s wellness committee.
