,

Be in the Know, Penn’s wellness campaign, kicks off its fourth year this October with even more ways to support faculty and staff in achieving their health and wellness goals. This year, the campaign features the same biometric screenings and online health assessments participants have used in the past to learn more about their current health. New this year, Be in the Know activities will be offered year-round. Participants will also have more Bonus Actions to choose from and more chances to earn cash incentives–up to $180.*

Be in the Know 2015-2016 kicks off with free, on-campus biometric screenings held October 5-November 20. Register today for one of these events at www.hr.upenn.edu/beintheknow

New and expanded features of the campaignhelp participants make the most of what they learn from the Core Actions (biometric screening and online health assessment):

Year-Round Campaign–Biometric screenings will be held at various times each semester, allowing participants to join the campaign–and earn points toward cash incentives–any time. Be in the Know Bonus Actions will also be offered throughout the campaign year, which runs from October 2015 to August 2016.

Earn Points–and Cash–A new points-based campaign allows participants to earn points toward cash incentives. Complete the Core Actions, and earn $100. The more qualifying Bonus Actions you complete, the more cash you’ll earn. Earn 40 points in Bonus Actions and receive $40. An additional 40 points will get you another $40. In all, you can earn up to $180 with Be in the Know.*

Expanded Bonus Actions–Improve your health and wellbeing (and earn cash) with more qualifying Bonus Actions. They include things you may already do, such as your annual health screening, on-campus Wellness Walks, Penn’s wellness workshops and online educational programs through StayWell, Penn’s wellness partner.

Visit www.hr.upenn.edu/beintheknow for campaign details and updates.

*All cash incentives will be less applicable payroll taxes. You must be an active full- or part-time benefits-eligible faculty or staff member to participate. Bonus Actions may be completed and points earned at any time during the Be in the Know campaign. However, cash incentives will not be awarded until the two Core Actions are completed.
