That the JLMBC receive and file staff report regarding LIVEwell Wellness Program (LIVEwell Program)

developments, updates, and activities.

DISCUSSION

A. Engagement Plan & Events Update

(1) Communications

The month of August 2018 provided employees with tools for understanding food nutrition labels

(Attachment A) in order to make healthier choices. The monthly webinar also addressed the nutrition

label topic and staff sent a reminder on July 31, 2018 for the webinar event (Attachment B).

(2) Regular Events: Education Classes, Clinics, and Webinars

Education Classes

Staff worked with Anthem to develop a Cooking Demonstration Class. A chef shows employees how

to create a healthy meal by preparing the food, including four courses, and sharing samples. During

the presentation, the chef discusses healthy cooking tips, answers employee questions, and

distributes recipe cards. The classes began on August 9th with eight City locations overall. Staff sent an

All-City email on July 26, 2018 with the Cooking Demonstration Class Schedule (Attachment C). Four

classes have taken place as of this report date, with 105 employee participants.

Clinics

Staff completed its coordination of four Vision Pop-Up Clinics consisting of on-site eye examinations

and eyewear retail “stores” for LAwell members. Three of the four clinics were at the same location

as the 2017 clinics. The Marvin Braude Building was replaced by the Garland Building due to low

attendance in 2017 (50%). This strategy proved effective as Garland had the highest utilization rate

(78%) of all locations.

Staff worked with EyeMed to extend the clinic hours at the City Hall clinic (to 6:00 p.m.) while also

offering earlier start times (8:00 a.m.) on select days in order to cater to more employee schedules.

This adjustment resulted in sixteen additional appointment slots for that clinic.

Employees registered for their clinic appointments via the custom EyeMed website created for the

City’s LAwell Program. Employees with appointments were given three appointment reminders. Two

reminders were sent via email, while the third reminder was a phone call the day before the

appointment. Employees were also invited to visit the clinic without appointments to shop for new

glasses if they already had a current prescription. They could also purchase non-prescription

sunglasses at a discount.

Overall, 272 employees received exams, representing 72% of the 376 available appointments across

the four Vision Pop-Up Clinics. This represents a 16% increase in the total number of employees who

received exams versus the 2017 clinics when 235 employees received exams. City Hall had the

highest share of total appointments utilized.

The 2018 utilization rate by clinic location is provided in the following chart:

Each of the clinic utilization rates was lower than the previous year (except Garland which did not

have a clinic in 2017) despite three appointment reminders. All of the appointments were booked

prior to the start of each clinic and EyeMed maintained a waitlist to offer appointments to employees

on the list when there were cancellations.

Note: The 2017 utilization above reflects the Marvin Braude Building result, while the 2018 result is for the Garland

Building.

Additionally, EyeMed conducts an optional, anonymous survey of participants who complete their

appointment. The survey questions (Attachment D) consist of eleven multiple-choice, rating, and

open-ended questions.

EyeMed sends an email to participants with the link to the online survey two weeks after each clinic.

The two-week deferral allows time for eyewear orders to be received by members in order for the

survey responses to capture the complete eyewear purchase experience. Then EyeMed analyzes the

data and produces a report. EyeMed expects to complete the survey process for the City’s Pop-Up

Clinics by September with the report to follow shortly thereafter. Staff will provide the survey results

at the November 1, 2018 JLMBC meeting.

Building Address Dates # of Available Appts # of Appts Utilized 2018 Utilization Rate

Webinars

As noted previously, the August webinar topic was on the month’s topic of understanding food

nutrition labels. The webinar, presented by Kaiser, aimed to help employees learn how to read food

labels to make informed food choices that support a healthy diet. Sixty employees participated in the

webinar, representing the second-highest webinar attendance to date.

(3) Special Events: Joint Los Angeles City-County Family Event – October 13, 2018

Staff has developed a relationship with wellness colleagues at LA County. LA County colleagues have shared their experience and best practices from their successful wellness program. As previously reported to the JLMBC, the LIVEwell program is partnering with LA County to co-sponsor a joint family fitness event called Rock N’ Stroll on Saturday, October 13, 2018, at Griffith Park. The four-hour annual event, sponsored by Anthem, is free for employees. Each attendee is allowed to bring up to 15 guests. This is the first time a LIVEwell event will include employee friends and family. This supports a key LIVEwell strategy of building a culture of wellness and family support of a healthy lifestyle. This event also offers the following benefits:

Attracts new users to the LIVEwell program with value-added activities.

Provides an opportunity for employees to try healthy practices in a friendly environment.

Promotes and provides additional access to carrier resources.

Grows LIVEwell brand awareness and recognition.

Gathers additional insights into what program elements promote employee participation,

such as weekend scheduling, family events, and different activities like hiking.

The event has a robust schedule of

activities (see right ) that support all

four of the core LIVEwell Building

Blocks, including Prevention, Physical

Activity, Nutrition, and Stress

Management. LA staff will lead the 5K

Fun Run while LA County staff will lead

the 2 Mile Fitness Walks. The event will

also include a DJ as well as a “Kids

Zone” with games and prizes for

children.

Staff developed a comprehensive event day implementation plan and identified volunteer needs to

be two shifts of five hours each. Staff will secure 10 volunteers total.

Page 5: Joint Labor-Management Benefits Committee (JLMBC) · 300 Calories from Fat 45 % Daily Value* Total Fat 5g 8% Saturated Fat 1.5g 8% Trans Fat 0g Cholesterol 30mg 10% Sodium 430mg 18%

Staff also sourced and ordered merchandise for giveaways. Separate raffle prize drawings for LA City

and LA County will be conducted.

Staff will meet with LA County staff twice in September including a walk-through of the Griffith Park

event space. Then the final event map will be produced.

(4) Special Events: Feel Like A Million Team Challenge Event

Given the success of the 2017 WalkPlus Program, LIVEwell will conduct another online program for

LAwell Program members through the same Kaiser partner, HES, that provided WalkPlus. The new

program, Feel Like A Million (Attachment E), is a customizable, turn-key, online program with mobile

capabilities. It will also be branded under the name of the LIVEwell Program. Feel Like a Million goes

beyond exercise to incorporate other healthy behaviors including nutrition and stress reduction.

Feel Like A Million uses a fun, interactive game show theme with an engaging retro look and fictional,

virtual host Rich Yewels (pictured in the following

graphics) to inspire healthy participant habits –

both physical and mental. Employees experience

how daily rituals contribute to improved energy,

reduced stress, enhanced focus, and greater

resilience. See Attachment F for frequently asked

questions.

The Feel Like A Million tool focuses on simple

actions in five core areas. This approach appeals to participants who may not be particularly strong in

exercise and/or want a more comprehensive and

balanced healthy lifestyle. The five core areas include:

Fitness

Nutrition

Balance (e.g., connections and relaxation)

Purpose (e.g., journaling and meditation)

Potpourri (e.g., volunteering).

Participants check off activities in the core areas to reach the goal of $1 million virtual dollars. They

do not enter steps, minutes, etc., so there is no device integration. However, they can download a

mobile application for convenient mobile program usage. Participants receive a daily email with a link

to log progress, a daily tip, and a recipe of the day.

This program also reinforces learning and increases engagement with a TIP$ game and Personal

Energy Posts (PEP) from a certified wellness coach. There are also articles, resource links, and 260

healthy recipes.

HES research indicates there is a 50% increase

in program participation when a team

challenge is involved. Given this fact and that

last year’s team competition was so popular,

there will be a team challenge again this year,

with some modifications. The team competition

will be four weeks instead of six as last year.

That decision was based on feedback from the

2017 WalkPlus Challenge where participant

engagement started to wane after four weeks.

Prizes also differ from those awarded in the

WalkPlus competition.

Employees do not have to participate in the team challenge to take advantage of the program.

Individuals not on a team can still participate and use the Feel Like A Million program on their own.

Teams will be allowed to have up to 40 members. Scores are based on the team’s average. The

Personnel Department will solicit elected official offices to participate as teams in the program. Their

participation and competition will help demonstrate City leadership commitment to the City’s

Wellness efforts.

Team Competition Summary:

Duration: Four week competition, January 28 – February 24, 2018.

Goal: For each team to reach virtual $1,000,000 (average per person).

Teams: 4-40 employees per team.

Scoring: Scores are based on the team’s average virtual dollars per person.

Prizes: Prizes (Attachment G) will be awarded to the top three teams. In the event of a tie, a

random drawing will be held among the top teams.

1st place: FitBit Iconic

2nd place: LIVEwell Exercise Ball Kits

3rd place: LIVEwell Resistance Band Kits

Serving SizeServing Size is based on the amount of food that is customarily eaten at one time. All of the nutrition Information listed on the Nutrition Facts Label is based on one serving of the food. •When comparing calories and nutrients in different foods, check

the serving size in order to make an accurate comparison.

Servings Per ContainerServings Per Container shows the total number of servings in the entire food package or container. One package of food may contain more than one serving. • If a package contains two servings and you eat the entire package,

you have consumed twice the amount of calories and nutrients listed on the label.

Calories Calories refers to the total number of calories, or “energy,” supplied from all sources (fat, carbohydrate, protein, and alcohol) in one serving of the food. To achieve or maintain a healthy weight, balance the number of calories you consume with the number of calories your body uses.

As a general rule:100 calories per serving is moderate 400 calories per serving is high

Calories from Fat Calories from Fat are not additional calories, but are fat’s contribution to the total number of calories in one serving of the food.• “Fat-free” doesn’t mean “calorie-free.” Some lower fat food items may

have as many calories as the full-fat versions.

% Daily Value Percent Daily Value (%DV) shows how much of a nutrient is in one serving of the food. The %DV column doesn’t add up vertically to 100%. Instead, the %DV is the percentage of the Daily Value (the amounts of key nutrients recommended per day for Americans 4 years of age and older) for each nutrient in one serving of the food.

As a general rule:5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is low20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is high

Footnote with Daily ValuesSome of the %DVs are based on a 2,000 calorie daily diet. However, your Daily Values may be higher or lower depending on your calorie needs, which vary according to age, gender, height, weight, and physical activity level. Check your calorie needs at http://www.choosemyplate.gov.

• If there is enough space available on the food package, the Nutrition Facts Label will also list the Daily Values and goals for some key nutrients. These are given for both a 2,000 and 2,500 calorie daily diet.

Nutrients to get less of – get less than 100% DV of these nutrients each day: saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, and sodium. (Note: trans fat has no %DV, so use the amount of grams as a guide)

Nutrients to get more of – get 100% DV of these nutrients on most days: dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron.

Nutrients The Nutrition Facts Label can help you learn about and compare the nutrient content of many foods in your diet. Use it to choose products that are lower in nutrients you want to get less of and higher in nutrients you want to get more of.

Feel Like A Million 2019

FAQs

What is Feel Like A Million?

It’s a 4-week program designed to help you feel your best and improve overall health. In this fun, interactive retro game show-themed program, you’ll learn health habits to reduce stress and sustain energy for work and play.

If you want the stamina to take on tough challenges and still pursue other interests… if you’d

like the balance in your life that minimizes stress and lets you focus on your priorities… then

Feel Like A Million is the program for you.

How does it work?

Your goal is to accumulate a virtual $1 million in four weeks by practicing healthy habits in five core areas:

• Moving Matters• Food to Fuel• Better Balance• On Purpose• Potpourri — miscellaneous important actions.

Each category has three or more ways to earn “money;” activities are worth different amounts

based on their stress and energy impact. With multiple ways to work toward the goal, everyone

succeed with Feel Like A Million.

Some activities, like exercise and eating vegetables, allow you to deposit “money” every day,

while writing your personal mission statement you do just once. Different activities are worth

more or less “money," based on their impact on increasing energy and decreasing stress.

Who can participate?

All Civilian Keeping LAwell Members can participate!

If I have a disability can I still participate in Feel Like a Million?

Yes; Feel Like a Million’s self-paced, flexible design fits people of all abilities. If walking isn’t

possible, be as active as you can in whatever ways you enjoy. If you’re unsure which activities

are best, check with your healthcare provider. Also, the National Center on Health, Physical

Activity, and Disability offers specific ideas.

How do you form a team? The Millionaire’s Club, is a friendly team competition that can help you have more energy and

balance plus less stress. Belonging to a group with similar goals provides more structure than

practicing habits on your own — keeping you more accountable, offering emotional support, and

producing synergy… best of all, it’s more fun!

Team Leaders register and join the Millionaire’s Club by choosing a team name and providing

the email addresses of each team member (4-5 people per team). Each person will receive an

email inviting them to register for Feel Like A Million and join the team.

How does the team challenge work? All teams must be formed by January 25, 2019. The team competition will end on February 24, 2019, so to have your activity count toward your team’s score, you must log by March 3, 2019. The top three teams based on the highest team dollar average will win prizes.

In this friendly competition, teams challenge each other to see who can make more virtual

“money.” Although you can participate on your own, it may be the most fun part of this retro

game. Scores are based on the team's average dollars per person. Since participants can earn

“money” in multiple ways, it's an advantage to recruit Club members who will strive for “money”

in all five categories for the best chance at achieving the highest dollar average.

Am I supposed to do all the activities every day?

Not necessarily. There are more than a dozen ways in 5 categories to earn “money” each day. If

you did them all you’d accumulate over $17,000 a day.

How much “money” do I have to earn each day to achieve $1 million?

To reach the $1 million goal you’ll need to earn $12,000 a day if you record 7 days a week. If

you record just five days a week, you can achieve the goal averaging $15,000 a day, plus

$100,000 for completing your personal mission statement.

Why are some activities worth more than others?

Different habits are worth more or less virtual “money,” depending on their impact on increasing

energy and lowering stress. Some, like exercise and eating vegetables, allow you to deposit

“money” every day, while writing your personal mission statement you do just once.

Why don’t I earn extra “money” for exercising for more than 30 minutes?

When it comes to exercise for overall health, more is better (to a point) — particularly if you’re

trying to lose weight; the more you move, the more calories you burn. However, when your goal

is more energy and less stress, 30 minutes a day will do the trick. So if it feels good, keep going,

Why are there maximums for certain activities?

you may want to increase or cut back on depending on your personal situation, so examine

amount you volunteer. Your schedule, as well as the satisfaction it produces, will guide your

efforts.

Can I carry over activities from one day to the next?

No. Consistent healthy behaviors are essential to building and sustaining energy and reducing

stress. Feel Like A Million scoring is designed to support long-term behavior change.
