Hopefully, by now, you are familiar with the Virgin Pulse program. It has traditionally been advertised as a program to get people moving, providing a pedometer to track steps. However, the Virgin Pulse program is truly a holistic health program. It is designed to help participants be healthier physically, spiritually and mentally.
If you aren’t a part of Virgin Pulse yet and you’re a part of our health insurance program (active or retired) you are eligible to participate.
You can earn up to $300 per year ($75 per quarter if you reach the maximum number of points in the quarter)! That’s completely free money and it can be used however you want – purchase health devices, gift cards to a variety of stores, give it to charity or deposit it in your bank account.
This is a benefit provided by your Conference Benefits Office. If you aren’t taking part in this benefit, you should start today. Contact the Conference Benefits Office to enroll.
If you’re already a part of Virgin Pulse, then here is a reminder that there are a variety of ways to earn those points. There is no reason anyone should not reach the $75 maximum quarterly reward. For instance, did you know that you can get points by taking time each day to listen to a short mindfulness/meditation recording called RethinkCare? It’s simple, doesn’t take much time and results in a more mindful, focused and less stressed day. That’s just one way to earn points. Take a look below to remind yourself how you can earn points this quarter and get your reward.
