As an HR professional, you always look for innovative ways to support employee well-being while staying aligned with budget goals. Enter Wellness Dollars from Brokers, a resource many companies overlook. These funds, provided by benefits brokers, can be a game-changer in creating impactful wellness programs without dipping into company reserves.
What Are Wellness Dollars?
Brokers allocate funds to encourage clients—like your company—to promote employee health and engagement. Your benefit plan includes these funds, meaning your organization might already have access to them without knowing it.
What Can Wellness Dollars Be Used For?
The beauty of these dollars is their flexibility. Depending on the carrier, you can use them for:
- Corporate Wellness Programs: Office Yoga, meditation, ergonomics workshops, and more.
- Health Screenings: Subsidize biometric screenings, flu shots, or health fairs.
- Educational Sessions: Host mental health, nutrition, and stress management seminars.
- Employee Perks: Offer gym memberships, wellness app subscriptions, or fitness challenges.
Think of it as free money to elevate your workplace wellness initiatives.
How to Access Wellness Dollars from Brokers
- Talk to Your Broker: Schedule a conversation to ask whether your plan includes Wellness Dollars. Key questions to ask:
- What programs or expenses are eligible?
- How much funding is available annually?
- Are there deadlines for using these funds?
- Review Your Benefits Plan: Wellness Dollars are often outlined in the details of your plan. If they’re not listed explicitly, your broker will confirm their availability.
