Employee Wellness
“Nurturing yourself is not selfish – it is essential to your survival and your well-being.” ~Renee Peterson Trudeau~
The University System of Georgia (USG) cares about the health and wellness of its employees. In partnership with the USG system-wide wellness initiative, MGA is striving to create a supportive environment that encourages the well-being of our entire campus community. To foster a positive transformation towards leading a healthier lifestyle, the USG has made available various tools, resources, and programs available to help manage wellness. The USG well-being tools, resources, and programs can be found at https://www.usg.edu/well-being/. The website includes extensive information on topics ranging from financial well-being to stress management.
The 2022 program will offer a $200 well-being credit, as well as an expanded list of activities to earn the credit. Complete healthy activities by Sept. 30, 2022. To receive the credit, you must be a current full-time employee or spouse enrolled in a USG healthcare plan during the pay period in which the credit is paid.
