November 6, 2018

Are you an employer with less than 50 employees participating in are industries of agriculture, automotive repair and service, construction, firefighters, health care, manufacturing, restaurant and food service, transportation and trucking, trash collection, or wholesale and retail?  Well, The Ohio Bureau of Worker’s Compensation has a solid new wellness program that is designed to support you and you staff and it is 100% FREE.

Here at Simple HR Solutions, we are always on the hunt for ways to give our small employers some big employer benefits on the cheap. This new initiative “Better Ohio, Better You” is extremely intriguing and even offers incentives to your employees ($75 gift cards, what…?!) for participating in biometric screenings.  The program gives tips and tricks for healthier lifestyles, eating, fitness, and safety, and all this is available through a downloadable app for smart devices! 

This is a real program designed for allowing individuals to take control of their health management without the worry that the details are being shared with their employers.  The health data collected is kept entirely confidential.  Employees can enjoy short articles on topics such as back pain and preventing slip, trips and falls.  They will even allow participants to become wiser through a constantly changing variety of webinars.  Best thing?  The site allows employers to pick up and directly email the information to their staff.  Check out the site at go.activehealth.com/betteryoubetterohio
