Health and wellness
Do you have any ideas/programs for stress management?
WEA Trust has a lending library item called "Detour from Stress" which focuses on stress management activities you can do in the workplace. For more information, see the lending library.
Trust programs and resources
A staff member would like to help a spouse quit smoking. Are there any resources available at the Trust?
The program is free and available to members age 18 and over who have WEA Trust health insurance. Start by downloading our brochure, Quit Smoking—Your Way! Dependents under the age of 18 are not eligible for cessation aids, but are encouraged to contact the toll-free Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line at 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669). The Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line also offers coaching, discussion forums, and more at its Web site, WiQuitLine.org.
Trust in Your Health also offers an online smoke-free program. It provides motivational tools and clinically-based guidance to help participants overcome the addiction, based on their readiness to change.
Wellness program implementation
How can I get more staff to participate in our district's wellness activities?
When staff contribute their ideas about a wellness program, chances are they will be more likely to participate. You can assess what your staff would like to see for wellness activities by using the Employee Interest Survey. Incentives are another important method to increase participation. Weekly or monthly drawings for those individuals or teams who have met their health goal can increase motivation to participate.
