Editor's Notes
- Hello, I’m Jana Bellamy the Treasurer of Franklin City Schools. You may be wondering why a treasurer is here to present information about a wellness program. I serve as our district’s wellness committee leader, because our employees’ health is important to our district. Employee benefit costs are 21% of our district’s entire general fund budget, with health insurance being the largest cost factor at 10% of the total budget. We cannot afford to ignore workplace wellness. Our wellness program began by first obtaining the support of our Board of Education and administrative staff. Our Superintendent made the recommendation to our Board of Education and they adopted a resolution in support of our wellness program. The resolution endorses administrative discretion in the implementation of wellness programs from year to year. We asked for at least one volunteer from each of our buildings to serve on our Wellness Committee, as well as a school nurse, the technology director and community partners.
- We began our wellness journey by developing a strategic plan and wellness goals. While the school district has goals to benefit the district, the wellness committee goals are more tailored to our staff members’ personal wellness. We can accomplish district goals by meeting the committee goals.
- Many folks know their credit scores better than they know their wellness numbers. While we make sure we have preventative maintenance on our homes, many of us do nothing to keep us away from health risks. Our Wellness Committee decided it was time to do something to promote awareness and to offer preventative programs. Here are our “Dieting Divas with their tiaras” and a few of the Health Awareness and Preventative Programs our district provides to employees.
- We have two on-going fitness classes that have a “following” – Zumba and Cardio-Sculpting. At different times of the year, we offer free classes to give employees a taste of different types of physical activities. We communicate activities and share information mainly via email, but do post fliers of special programs in our buildings. There are several activities that have began to change our district culture. Themed competitions seem to get the negativity out of the water cooler discussions. We now hear words of encouragement and helpful wellness tips being discussed.
- The Wellness Committee considers the creation of our Wellness Center one of our major accomplishments, thus far.
- Our administrative building was once used as an elementary and junior high building. There was a large room that was being used for nothing more than a storage room containing desks, chairs, paint trailer and gator. We requested permission to transform the room into an employee wellness center.
- The room renovation required some asbestos abatement of ceiling and floor tiles. The old chalk board was removed and it was the perfect place for wall mirrors!
- The old room had a heater in it that had never been used. Evidentially the previous head maintenance person authorized the purchase of the unit, but it was never installed. Our current Head Maintenance person was able to modify the unit and we now have heat in our wellness center at no cost!
- At this point, you may be wondering about our Wellness Budget. Our district supports the Wellness Program, but cannot afford to allocate more than $1,000 per year from the general fund budget. The majority of our funding comes from EPC Wellness Incentives. The Southwestern Ohio Educational Purchasing Council is our third party provider. We pool with other districts in this consortium for purchasing discounts. EPC offers the ability for districts to earn wellness funding by meeting three (3) goals. The amount of money available to each district is based on the number of employees enrolled in their health insurance plan.
- Not everything costs money. If anyone would ask about the most important part of our Wellness Program, I would tell them our community partnerships. KHN has helped us in many ways: (1) free wellness education classes (2) donated mats and other equipment, and they have even appointed an administrator to serve on our wellness committee. We have worked out a great arrangement with Wright State University to allow their nursing students to receive program credit by weighing in our staff and providing nutritional information during our “Biggest Loser” Competitions. Atrium Medical Center has donated a spinning bike. Local YMCAs are offering discounts to our employees. Sally Margetts is providing on-going zumba and cardio-sculpting classes. Curves provides wellness classes, discounts and free memberships as incentives.
- When evaluation the results of our wellness program, we have reviewed participation rates and conducted surveys. Based on the results, we believe our employees are happy with our wellness activities. The District is seeing some return on our investment. While we were able to negotiate a 3.2% decrease in our 2012 health insurance premiums, the most extreme proof is our loss ratio. In the first year of our wellness program, our loss ratio decreased by 18.09%!
- Some results are more obvious to everyone. Meet Rick, Jane and Trish. They work in the Treasurer’s Office. Since September 2010 (1 yr. ago), they have lost a combined 243 pounds or 30% of their total body weight!!
- Thank you.
