A brief description of the employee wellness program, policy, or practice:

The UCLA Recreation FITWELL Program activates wellness on campus by educating, motivating and empowering faculty, staff and students to make healthy lifestyle choices specifically in the areas of fitness and exercise, nutrition and weight management, stress management, and general health education.

The Bruin Health Improvement Program (BHIP) is a 12-week program by UCLA FITWELL designed to educate, motivate and provide UCLA Faculty and Staff with an opportunity to improve their overall health and fitness.

The University of California (UC) employs the StayWell benefits program as part of the expanded UC Living Well program. Eligible faculty and staff and their family members covered by most UC medical plans (Blue Cross Plus and PPO, CIGNA Choice Fund, Core and Health Net) can enjoy enhanced wellness and personal health-management benefits through participation in StayWell.

Participation in StayWell is voluntary and at no cost to faculty or staff. StayWell also supports individual wellness efforts.
