Plan for Stress Less, Five to Thrive FutureMe Challenges

Posted on Posted in Well-being

The FutureMe Stress Less challenge kicks off February 28, and the Five to Thrive challenge follows in May.

FutureMe challenges are a great way to inspire healthy habits and motivate and help your employees progress toward achieving personal health goals.

Get ready for Stress Less 
If your cooperative is participating in this challenge, your employees who are registered on the FutureMe portal within the NRECA Employee Benefits website will soon receive an email from WebMD inviting them to join the challenge. As a reminder, co-ops that have elected a FutureMe rewards tier for 2024 are automatically eligible to participate in all challenges. All co-ops in the NRECA Medical Plan can choose to participate, regardless of their FutureMe rewards election.

Stress Less inspires participants to take five minutes or more of “you” time for at least 21 days of the 28-day challenge; all participants who register will be entered into a random drawing to win one of 10 gift cards valued at $100 each.

Support and inspire your employees to participate in these ways:

  • Use the flier, poster and monitor ad in the resources section of the FutureMe challenges page of the BA Guide to promote the challenge.
  • Host a kickoff event to create excitement and awareness of the challenge.
  • Have your co-op leadership team show their support of the challenge with a personal note encouraging participation.
  • Promote social engagement. Encourage employees throughout the challenge to share how they spend their five-plus minutes of “you” time via your co-op’s intranet or social media channels.
  • Offer small giveaways for those who participate or hold a random drawing for prizes.

Sign up for Five to Thrive
The Five to Thrive challenge is May 1-28. If your co-op has not elected a FutureMe rewards tier, you can register for this challenge by emailing the NRECA FutureMe team at futureme@nreca.coop by March 18.

The challenge goal is to have participants eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day on at least 21 days. A random drawing will award 10 participants a $100 gift card.
