Wellness Works
General Information
Wellness Works is a point-based wellness program designed to encourage ALL Illinois Central College employees (full and part-time) and retirees to participate in wellness activities throughout the year.
Wellness Works is a comprehensive program coordinated through Health Services. Employees and retirees are encouraged to participate in the area which is of interest to them. Participants receive points for exercising, completing a self-guided health improvement program, attending wellness related seminars and/or participating in a Wellness Works sponsored health screening. By participating in these wellness activities and programs, and submitting proper documentation in the scheduled timeframe, an employee/retiree will be awarded points. Additional points can also be earned for getting an annual physical and other recommended health exams. The “wellness points” earned throughout the year add up and lead to rewards!
What’s the pay-off if I do this?
The most obvious pay-off is improved health and well-being; however, participants also receive CASH!
At the end of the program year, those who have participated in the Wellness Works activities and submitted proper documentation will have their points totaled. The number of wellness points an employee/retiree earns for the year is then converted directly into their cash reward as listed in the table below. The rewards for 2010 will again range from $25 to $200. Each participant receives cash based on the number of points they have earned!
Participants must be active ICC employees/retirees at the time of the December Wellness Works pay out to receive the cash reward.
25-49 Points - $25.00
50-74 Points - $50.00
75-99 Points - $75.00
100-124 Points - $100.00
125-149 Points - $125.00
150-174 Points - $150.00
175-199 Points - $175.00
200+ Points - $200.00

A log of activities and the point value for each activity is available to download from this website. If you don’t have computer access, just contact Health Services, ext. 5475, and we will be happy to send you a copy. Please refer to this log throughout the year so that you can take full advantage of all the opportunities to acquire points. We encourage you to submit documentation any time throughout the year. Be sure to watch the Wellness Works website, E-News, NOW (News On Wellness Quarterly Newsletter), and the Wellness Works bulletin board (outside of Rm. 338C) throughout the year for all of the latest information (including seminar dates/times, upcoming health screenings info, and deadline date reminders).
