TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: Harry D. Cisterman, Director of Personnel Contra
Costa
DATE: June 4, 1987 County
SUBJECT: Incentive Prize for the Employee Wellness Program's
Exercise Class Participants
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Recommendations:
1. APPROVE awarding of incentive prizes for participation in the Contra Costa County
Exercise Program.
2. AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller to disburse through the Personnel Department four
$15.00 warrants made to the restaurants selected by the Personnel Director or
designee for incentive prize lunches to participants in the Contra Costa County
Exercise Program.
Background:
On March 2, 1987 the Employee Wellness Program established the Contra Costa County
Exercise Program. The program currently has five low-intensity, noontime and after work
exercise classes in four locations, and has approximately 120 regular program
participants.. The rationale behind establishing this program is the belief that
exercise is an essential ingredient to overall wellness. It can improve physical
strength and flexibility as well as to positively affect many health related conditions.
Exercise also provides a relief valve for the physical effects of stress and helps
improve mental functioning while improving self image.
In order to motivate employees to attend classes on a regular, ongoing basis and to
provide recognition and reinforcement for those who are attending, the Employee Wellness
Program has developed an incentive plan for June.
From June 8 - June 26 all County employees who attend an exercise class at any of the
four County exercise class locations will have their name put into a drawing. One
winner will be drawn from each location to receive a certificate for a healthy lunch for
two at a local restaurant.
Warrants will be presented to the prize winners by designees of the Employee Wellness
Program on June 29. The warrants made to the selected restaurants, will be used by the
winners to pay for their lunches.
In order to assure the continued motivation of the County exercise participants, the
Employee Wellness Program encourages the Board's support and approval of funding for the
incentive prizes.
