Wellness Incentive Program

The road to wellness is rewarding illustration with curving roads over hills and icons for physical, emotional, social and financial well-being

Pinellas County is committed to creating a work environment where employees can thrive and reach their maximum potential. Establishing a culture of wellness helps us stay healthy, which keeps insurance costs down for employees and the County. The Wellness Incentive Program offers employees and their spouses/domestic partners the opportunity to participate in activities that improve wellbeing and earn rewards.

New in 2024

  • Great news! Wellness reward payouts now default to cash. Incentives earned will be added to your paycheck in March and September according to the incentive payout schedule. If you would like rewards points instead of cash, you must select points in myCigna.com (see the Reward Points Election Help Guide).
  • Social Health and Wellness in Apps and Activities completions will no longer automatically update in myCigna. You need to enter these manually as a self-reported goal.
