SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Humana-Sponsored HealthMiles Physical Activity Program
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
HealthMiles is a Humana-sponsored physical activity program that encourages employees to get and stay healthy by being more active – walking, biking, swimming, running, stretching, increased health club utilization, etc. The first 30 percent of Humana-enrolled employees who sign-up for the program receive a free, computer-uploadable pedometer that records their physical activity data. The recorded activity can be uploaded via personal computers to Health Miles’ LifeZone website, where employees can track their progress, compete with other participants, and ultimately receive up to $150 in rewards (gift cards to Home Depot, Borders, Amazon.com, AMC Theaters, Regis Salons, Target, etc.).
Employee Benefits will begin sending emails to all sites to inform all Humana-enrolled employees about the program. Watch for district-wide competitions and other fun events to be announced throughout the year.
