New wellness initiative a win-win

Our people represent a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. And, although we are all different, my guess is that everyone likes to be healthy. After all, being as healthy as possible will help each of us to be more active and productive — at home and at work.

With that in mind — and as I mentioned in my recent Business Update meetings at locations across our company — Rockwell Collins will introduce a new wellness initiative this year within our Flexible Benefit Choices program to complement our existing medical plans. This program will offer you and your spouse an opportunity to assess your current health status through a confidential personal health assessment. The results and recommendations will allow you to maintain or improve your health by accessing a range of information and resources.

These resources are meant to help you "know your numbers," and ultimately offer programs designed to promote an array of healthy choices — ranging from losing weight, to lowering cholesterol or blood pressure.

Sometimes though, we need some motivation to get moving in the right direction. In this issue of Horizons, Neil Durette, an employee in our Melbourne, Fla., facility, shares how a New Year's resolution to lose weight motivated his participation in an on-site weight loss program.

Support is an important aspect of achieving a health goal. By interacting with co-workers, family and friends, you can receive encouragement when you need it, and also feel more accountable for your goals.

Our wellness program also offers options so you can tailor your health improvement goals to fit you and your lifestyle.

Promoting good health also benefits our company since healthier employees have lower health care costs, which helps us continue to offer affordable, quality health care programs.

I encourage you and your family to get involved in this program. Making positive changes today will help you manage risk factors, and help to prevent many health care costs from being incurred — a win-win for both you and our company.
