Register online today at http://www.hr.upenn.edu/beintheknow for your free, confidential biometric screening and get ready to boost your health awareness and your paycheck.
3 Steps to Learn More and Earn More
Step 1: Get a biometric screening (October 27–December 5, 2014)
Register for a screening session at Penn’s Philadelphia campus, New Bolton Center campus or at the Morris Arboretum between October 27 and December 5 to complete the first step towards being in the know and earning incentives. The full screening schedule is available at the Be in the Know webpage at http://www.hr.upenn.edu/beintheknow
At the biometric screening, a health educator will measure key indicators of your overall health, including blood pressure, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and blood sugar (glucose levels).
If you have obtained screening results through your health care provider between July 1 and December 23, 2014, you can submit your completed Health Screenings Documentation Form directly to AreUFit by December 23, 2014 to receive biometric screening credit. Documentation forms are available at http://www.hr.upenn.edu/beintheknow
Step 2: Take an online health assessment (January 12–February 27, 2015)
Starting January 12, 2015, visit Penn’s wellness portal at penn.staywell.com, hosted by StayWell, to complete a brief, confidential health assessment. The 10-minute questionnaire focuses on your overall health and health habits. It gives you an instant, personalized report on your health status and ways to make positive changes.
When you complete both the biometric screening and health assessment, you are eligible for the $100 cash incentive* to be included in your April 2015 paycheck.
All returning 2012 or 2013 Be in the Know participants will also be placed in a drawing for iPads and Fitbits.
Step 3: NEW! Use What You Know and take action! (January 12–April 30, 2015)
Once you are in the know with personalized results from your biometric screening and health assessment, Penn encourages you to Use What You Know—with Bonus Actions! Complete any of the qualifying StayWell portal healthy living opportunities by the deadline and receive an additional cash incentive of $35.* A list of qualifying bonus actions is available at the Be in the Know web page at http://www.hr.upenn.edu/beintheknow
*Please note: Both incentives are less applicable payroll taxes. You must be an active full- or part-time benefits-eligible faculty or staff member to participate.
