USG Well-being is excited to announce a new program called Work of Art, designed to enhance resilience and cultivate happiness.
Complete the program and earn rewards! Employees enrolled in a USG healthcare plan can earn $20 in 2021 USG Well-being credits.
There’s no set formula or specific guideline for being happy. How you interact with others, the way you manage life’s ups and downs, the thoughts and attitudes you choose, and the relationships you nurture make up the rich tapestry of you: your personal work of art.
In Work of Art, you’ll be crafting art on your mobile or desktop device, but you don’t have to be an artist to thrive in this challenge. As you complete activities you value and track progress by “painting” images with personal meaning, you’ll create a unique experience to support ongoing emotional health.
Important dates:
Registration begins: Monday, October 5
Program begins: Monday, October 12
Registration deadline: Monday, November 2
Program ends: Sunday, November 22
How to register:
Employees: Log in to the USG Well-being platform (click on Manage My Benefits and then find the USG Well-being tile) with Virgin Pulse > navigate to the Programs page > change your view to “All” from the left menu bar > find Work of Art Program.
Spouses: Register at ourwellbeing.usg.edu> navigate to the Programs page > change your view to “All” from the left menu bar > find Work of Art Program.
How it works:
The program converts your favorite pictures to a simple sketch that you’ll “paint” as you complete well-being activities. You’ll earn points for each activity you complete. Earning points lets you paint a portion of your artwork. The more you do, the more your painting comes to life!
Helpful hint: Use photos of family members, friends, pets or other art with personal meaning for inspiration as you create your masterpieces. It’s the most motivating, fun way to experience the program. Or browse 200+ photos in the Work of Art library — any image that delights you or makes you smile will work.
Completing Activities
Each Monday, you’ll receive five new emotional well-being activities to enhance mindfulness, optimism, gratitude, connection and a miscellaneous category called collage. Aim to complete two activities a day (max of three). You can do the same activities each day or skip around — just select those that matter most to you.
Earning Points:
Read the activities and answer a quiz question to earn five points.
Complete a well-being activity and log it to earn 10 points.
Tracking progress:
You’ll paint a portion of your picture each time you earn points. Aim to complete about one work of art each week by accumulating 100 points. When you’ve completed a painting, you can share it in the gallery for all to see. You can even print out your painting and hang it up at home.
Employees enrolled in a USG healthcare plan who accumulate at least 325 points during the program will earn $20 in 2021 USG Well-being credits.
Participating on a Team (optional):
Form your own team of four members or accept the invitation of another.
Achieve 400 points/week as a team to be featured in the weekly showcase.
Participating on a team makes Work of Art more fun and effective.
