for employers

Welcome to the Employers Section of Fit & Fun Families! And congratulations on taking an important first step in helping to create a work environment that supports and encourages healthy eating and physical activity for your employees and their families.

In this kit you'll find

• "Every Day" ideas for healthy messages, tip sheets and poster displays. Use in the workplace to help your employees - and their families - begin to adopt health eating and physical activity habits that are the cornerstone of good health.
• "CIGNA FIT Day" event suggestions. These fun events are designed to kick-off or "put some zip" into actions to raise awareness of healthy lifestyle choices and provide simple tools to renew a commitment for living a more balanced life.

Every Day Ideas

Your kit is organized around seven key healthy messages to promote wellness through the worksite.

The Employer tip sheets provide:

• Links to studies and materials that support the message.
• Ideas for "a healthy message in a minute".
• Suggestions for simple actions you can take to connect employees and their families with the healthy message.

Templates for posters provide role-modeling and social marketing ideas for the office environment. These simple ideas interject appeal and fun into getting everyone involved in healthy eating and physical activity behavior change!

Just click on a key message to get started!

In addition:

Under the Employee tab of the kit, you'll find corresponding tips sheets you can share with employees. Also, under the Family and Kids tab there are corresponding tips sheets with a family focus- so the healthy messages you send at work can make their way into the home as well.

National CIGNA FIT Day Events

"CIGNA FIT Days" are opportunities for CIGNA employees and members to:

• Explore a healthy lifestyle at work
• Role model at home
• Give back to the community

Consider holding two "CIGNA FIT Days" per year:

• "FIT Day" Event 1: Holiday Tool Kit. Everyone knows the holidays can spell disaster for healthy habits. A "Holiday FIT Day-Week-or Month" is a great opportunity to show how the holiday can be enjoyed with healthy foods and physical activity!

• "FIT Day" Event 2: Consider adding a FIT component to your existing, "Bring Your Child to Work Day". The Bring Your Child to Work Day Tool Kit was developed just for this event. Download Part I and II for activity and display ideas.
