My company is thinking about doing a "benefits fair" for our home office associates.?

Question

You know, having the insurance people in, maybe a local clinic to check blood pressure and offer info on healthy living, 401(k) info, Flex, etc.

Any ideas appreciated!

Answer 1

In my opinion this is just another way to invade our privacy and will not be welcomed with open arms in your company no more than it was welcomed in the last company I was involved in. We know a gift horse when we see one coming. You will make all the employees suspicious as well, they have better things to do with their time and can always go down to the local pharmacy to check their own blood pressure. Oh, unless you are going to do the health fair on company time like the other one did, real suspicious looking for the company to pay for you to get your blood pressure taken. But wait, that's not all they took, they took your weight, your height, your waistline measurement, and drew 3 vials of blood. Some health fair.......
