| | JUNE - 2023MANAGEHRMAGAZINE.COM8In MyOpinionAnnemarie LoweTurner Construction Company has made tremendous strides enhancing and transforming its employee wellness program from traditional program into a holistic, well-being experience focused on employee's physical, emotional, social, financial, and work well-being. Our wellness program is called "Healthy Me, Healthy Mind." When I began working at Turner in 2009, the wellness program included a medical premium discount and a health club reimbursement. Our medical premium discount requires employees to get an annual physical and a health screening which receives positive feedback from employees who have discovered serious medical conditions that can be addressed early. Additionally, our health club reimbursement supports our employees who live an active lifestyle. Changes to our wellness program went into overdrive during the pandemic. Everything changed including the way we went about our daily lives. Remote work, mental health struggles, fear, isolation, delay of medical care, etc. So many people were struggling as they faced so many things at once. Turner's benefits team listened to the needs of employees and responded. "Total Wellness" emerged as a key focus ours. Turner strived to make "wellness" mean more than just physical health. Turner wanted to help employees build better connections between mind and body and create healthy habits.EMPLOYEE'S HEALTH MATTERSBy Annemarie Lowe, Director of Benefits, Turner Construction Company
