Most of us enjoy a little friendly competition, and when that competition benefits everyone involved–even better! We’re excited to partner with a company called Profile to roll out a wellness competition at Anderson.
There’s a lot of information available, and I’m sure many of you will have specific questions. There will be a team from Profiles onsite in each store soon to answer those questions, and there are some documents linked below that provide details as well. For now, here are the main points of what we’re planning:
- This is a weight loss contest centered around percentage of weight lost during the contest period (rather than lbs. lost).
- The company Profile offers personalized coaching and meal-replacement products at a discounted rate to give you a better chance of coming out on top.
- Cost to participate via with Profile is $150/year. Deductions via payroll can be arranged. You can still participate in the contest without signing up for Profile for FREE. See your People Resource Rep! (If you signed up for the 25 dollar payroll deduction before 9/11/2015, that will be voided and you will not be charged.)
- For those employees who are entering the contest, but not joining profile, you will weigh in every week with your People Resource Rep.
- Any Profile participant that hits their weight loss goal will receive half of their fee ($75) back.
- Meal replacement products through the Profile program will cost around $70/week.
- There will be a Male and a Female class, with the “biggest loser” in each class for the entire autogroup receiving 3 days paid vacation.
- This is a competition between stores as well. We’ll track and report progress throughout the contest.
- This is a 90-day contest beginning 9/14. The winners will be announced at the Christmas Party. Employees may enter the contest or join Profile at any time.
- Andy’s Express, Credit Connection, and St. Joe Honda are also included in this competition.
- Spouses can also participate and if they win, it will be credited to the employee. Spouse cost is $95/year (employee must participate as well).
- To be eligible for the contest, final weigh-in will be Thursday Dec. 10th by 4:00 pm at the latest.
Reps with Profile will be onsite in the stores soon. Here are the meeting links for each store: Mazda, Lincoln North, St. Joe Ford, Kia/Mitsubishi, and Grand Island.
And here are links to materials from Profile that explain much more in-depth and offer a list of common questions: Brochure, Profiles Overview, and FAQ’s.
You can direct questions about the contest to any member of the People Resource Team. Good luck to all participants!
