Participant feedback
§  “…I knew it was information I could trust because it
came from such a respectful and reliable source.”
§  “It is such an amazing motivator that an employer
encourages healthy habits and provides tips/tricks to
make it happen.”
§  “A sense of community with others trying to make the
right choices. I loved the tips and definitely learned some
new things.”
§  “The giveaways were a bonus but the advice was well
worth looking for your postings each day.”
