Wellness Expo Connects Employees to their Benefits
By: Orange County Communications
Also on January 17, our Human Resources Department hosted their first ever Wellness Expo at the Orange County Airport. This event featured 19 vendors, largely providers of employee benefits, with whom our staff were able to discuss their plans and ask questions. Going further than standard health, dental, and vision (although those are tremendously important), Orange County has worked diligently to expand our benefits program to be more comprehensive and to encourage “ wellness ” in a broader sense. Examples include discounted gym
memberships, access to an employee assistance program (EAP), participation in the Virginia Mortgage Assistance Program, an option for discounted legal services, and much more!
At each station, participants were able to get a stamp on a “ bingo ” card which, when completed, allowed them to be entered for some grand prizes. The organizers would like to recognize Sentara Employee EAP and Anytime Fitness for providing prizes! Additionally, the Orange County Public Library and the Extension Office pulled double duty as both attendees and exhibitors. Their contributions are truly appreciated.
This gathering built upon the fantastic turnout at last summer ’ s J.U.I.C.E. event, with more than 120 employees from across our departments visiting the airport during the four - hour timeframe. Human Resources looks forward to continuing to offer activities like these for the benefit of our employees.
