The Walk This Way Challenge encourages employees to have more movement and less sedentary positions by increasing daily steps. The goal of the challenge is to complete 50,000 steps each week throughout the four-week challenge. Registration is now open, and the challenge runs Monday, May 12, through Sunday, June 8. Record 50,000 steps for each week by noon on Monday, June 9, to receive 25 My Wellness points and get closer to receiving the incentives and rewards My Wellness points can bring.

At Marquette, we understand that wellness isn’t just physical, it’s financial, too. And we’ve heard our employees who have been asking for more tools and resources to help with their financial planning. That is why we are pleased to introduce the financial wellness services of Francis LLC.
This benefit connects you with down-to-earth financial planners who can educate and advise on a variety of money matters. They have no investment products to sell, so you can feel confident that you will always receive completely objective advice. There are no per session fees, so you can meet with a financial planner as often as you wish, and spouses are welcome to attend as well. For more information, check out the My Financial Health page.
Professional health coaching related to perimenopause and menopause is now available through the My Wellness program’s UCentered offering.
