Engagement Program & Rewards Program

Based on feedback about the previous Rally program, Columbus State transitioned to a streamlined initiative, Wellbeing 360. Wellbeing 360 helps employees engage in their health and wellbeing and support opportunities to be rewarded for investing in their wellbeing. Wellbeing 360 provides employees with a website portal to access wellbeing resources, tools to set personal goals, challenges, and more.

Columbus State is investing in employee wellbeing because employees are an critical part of the institution. Columbus State approaches wellbeing through the eight dimensions defined by SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration): emotional, financial, social, spiritual, physical, occupational, intellectual, and environmental. Wellbeing 360 gives employees the opportunity to focus on the eight dimensions of wellbeing and get a return on that investment.

We continue to partner with current vendors including Matrix EAP, CancerBridge, and BMI Federal Credit Union. We are partnering with OhioHealth Employer Solutions for a second year to provide additional wellbeing offerings, including the Wellness Portal. This list is not a comprehensive list of all of Columbus State’s partners.

Yes, we have partnered with OhioHealth Employer Solutions to create the Wellness Portal, powered by WebMD ONE. This is a full replacement of the Rally portal. See the Wellness Portal section below for additional details.

No, the Engagement Program and Rewards Program fall on the same plan year as the medical insurance, which is July 1 to June 30 each year. All Engagement Program and Rewards Program documents are due by June 30 each year.

Click here to access the Wellness Portal. Employees can also access the portal via the Columbus State employee webpage. The first time you visit the Wellness Portal, you will complete your registration. During registration, you will create a username and password to use when signing in to the wellness portal. If you access the wellness portal outside of the Columbus State employee webpage, you will need to login with the username and password that you create during registration.

Employees: Your Registration ID is your Cougar ID. This can be found on your employee ID or in Workday in your profile.

Spouses/Domestic Partners: Your registration ID is the first five letters of your last name + first letter of your first name + your date of birth (MMDDYY). For example, if your name is John Anderson and your date of birth is October 15, 1960, you would enter ANDERJ101560.

• If your last name is shorter than five letters, enter your full last name, followed by first initial, followed by your date of birth (MMDDYY).

Covered employees and their covered spouse or domestic partner must complete and submit the online Wellness Assessment and a Biometric Screening by June 30, 2027, to maintain the lower medical premium contribution.

The online Wellness Assessment is a quick and private survey that helps you understand your health and wellbeing better. The Wellness Assessment takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. It asks a series of questions related to your diet, exercise, sleep, medical history, and lifestyle to create a road map toward a healthier life. It is one of the simplest ways to identify the things you are doing well and the areas where your health behaviors could improve. The information gathered is confidential, and individual data is not released to Columbus State.

You need to utilize the Wellness Portal (on desktop or mobile app) to complete your online Wellness Assessment.

1. Log in to your Wellness Portal account.
2. Click on Wellness Assessment on the homepage or in the drop-down menu.
3. Answer the questions in each section.
4. Be sure to click Finalize when you are done to submit the assessment.

You are encouraged to complete your Wellness Assessment as soon as possible to take full advantage of the programs and resources available to you.

A Biometric Screening measures basic physical characteristics like your height and weight, blood pressure, blood sugar/A1C, and cholesterol levels, as well as several other health indicators. It provides a current snapshot of your overall health and wellness and identifies risk factors for health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or hypertension that could develop down the road.

Biometric Screenings may be completed via finger stick or lab draw at an on-site screening event at Columbus State or at your provider's office. The finger stick/lab draw will capture Cholesterol levels, Triglycerides, and glucose (blood sugar). The nurse or provider will also measure blood pressure, height, weight, BMI, and waist circumference.

You have two options for completing a Biometric Screening:

ON-SITE AT WORK — Biometric Screening events will be offered on-site at Columbus State during the plan year. No forms are needed, and results are automatically reported on your behalf.

AT YOUR PHYSICIAN’S OFFICE — Schedule a routine visit with a primary care provider (PCP) and take the Biometric Screening Form (available on the Wellness Portal) with you to your appointment. Follow the instructions provided on the form. You are responsible for making sure that the form is submitted by the June 30, 2027, deadline.

You can download the Biometric Screening Form by clicking here. You can also go to the Wellness Portal and download the form from the home page or Wellness Hub tab.

Once you or your primary care provider's office have completed your Biometric Screening Form, you can submit the completed and signed form to CSCCwellbeing@OhioHealth.com or fax free of charge to 614-533-0285.

Your incentive credit and results will post to the Wellness Portal within 15 business days of your on-site screening date or submission of your PCP completed Biometric Screening Form. A notification is sent when the results are posted.

The Biometric Screening and Wellness Assessment must be completed and submitted by June 30, 2027.

Although it is only required to complete the online Wellness Assessment once a year to earn the premium reduction, you can complete it on the Wellness Portal as many times as you’d like. The Biometric Screening can be completed at an on-site Columbus State screening or at a primary care provider's office once per year. The premium reduction incentive can only be earned one time.
