At Alliance Benefit Group we talk a lot
about being prepared when it comes time to hang up the
cleats or the apron or the welding helmet or the stethoscope. It’s our job and
our passion to make sure you’re getting the most of your benefits, now and in the future. Investing in your retirement plan and your health savings account are some of the great
things you can do to set yourself up for that great vacation we call retirement. Recently an award given to ABG reminded me of another important way to prepare for a happier post work life.
Alliance Benefit Group was chosen
as a "Fit Friendly Worksite" by the American Heart Association, thanks
in large part to the support of leadership, an active wellness committee and a
health-conscious office culture. Since everyone was pretty busy this week I
thought I'd take this week’s blog post and remind everyone to take a moment for
yourself during your busy days and try to benefit your own health and wellness. Maybe
cut back on soda, or “pop” as we like to call it here in the land of ten thousand lakes. Maybe take a walk after work or go kayaking over the weekend. Just stop and think
a little bit about how putting in a little time at the gym, or the salad bar now, can result in a healthier you down the road. On top of putting yourself in a
good spot with your financial and healthcare needs try to take care
of your mind and body so you have enough left in the tank to enjoy yourself.
We want you to be able to enjoy your days
at the beach, the cabin, trekking around Europe or chasing around grand kids when you retire. Staying active and healthy now and throughout your busy work
life could be a big help in you being able to live out that retirement of your
dreams. We all know things happen in regards to our health that we can't
control but I know for me there are a few things I can control - like not
going over and getting a second doughnut or maybe doing a few lunges at
the desk here.
If you have any questions about your fitness
regiment, you’ll have to consult an expert, but in the meantime if you have any
questions about retirement, HSAs, FSAs, HRAs, payroll or even COBRA, give us a
call.
