A brief description of the institution’s wellness and/or employee assistance program(s):

Healthy Tigers
Employees who elect to take advantage of the "Healthy Tigers Initiative" can earn a $25.00 per month credit on their health insurance premiums (up to $300.00 per calendar year) by participating in a free annual health and wellness screening program that is provided through the Auburn University Pharmaceutical Care Center (AUPCC). The health screenings include completing a short health and wellness questionnaire; having a fingerstick blood test performed to check cholesterol and blood sugar levels; getting a blood pressure measurement; weight, body mass index (BMI), and percent body fat analysis. In addition to the employee screening, spouses who are covered under the AU BCBS insurance (family plan or "employee + spouse") are required to be screened in order for the employee to be qualified for the benefit year.

Employee Assistance Program
Most human problems can be successfully treated or resolved, if identified early, and appropriate action or care provided. This applies whether the problem is emotional, marital or family, legal, financial, alcohol or drug related, or any other undetected behavioral/medical problem. The purpose of EAP is to assure employees that if such personal problems are the cause of deteriorating job performance, they will receive an offer of assistance to help resolve such problems in an effective and confidential manner through the services of the Employee Assistance Program.
