SIOUX FALLS SD � Voyage Federal Credit Union is no stranger to wellness. Entering its sixth year of committing to healthier living choices for employees, Voyage has received a WORKWELL grant given to organizations to help reduce and prevent chronic disease through workplace wellness.
"Were trying to engage and motivate our employees to take ownership of their health and wellness, while having a lot of fun in the process," said Darla Erb, Voyage Chief Executive Officer.
Funds from the grant will go toward coaching classes made available to employees. Voyage is also outfitting participating employees with a Fitbit an electronic device worn around the wrist to track physical activity and sleeping patterns while monitoring individual wellness goals.
"All of us at Voyage take pride in giving our members value-added service," added Erb. "We want to continue that same philosophy with our own team members by being there for them the way they are for our members."
As part of the WORKWELL program, Voyage will conduct internal challenges designed to increase physical activity and will monitor the success of the program through blood pressure tests, weigh-ins, and ongoing education.
