[Business Managers-OEBB]

One of the Oregon Educators Benefit Board's (OEBB's) guiding principles
is to provide benefits and services that improve the overall health and
wellness of its members through a variety of programs and services. A
key step in developing, modifying and monitoring outcomes of such
benefits and services is obtaining current data on the health status of
our members. 

 

In partnership with the Oregon Public Health Department, OEBB will once
again be conducting a survey in November and December to gather
information on the health and wellness of education employees and their
family members, including:

 

*         Current health status

*         Behaviors that affect health (physical activity, eating
habits, etc.)

*         Worksite health and wellness support

 

The survey is modeled after annual health status surveys conducted by
the state of Oregon and the federal Centers for Disease Control, but
OEBB only participates biannually.

 

On Monday, November 7, OEBB will be sending an email to employees who
have listed personal email addresses in MyOEBB to announce this year's
survey.  An independent survey firm will begin by calling a very small
number of the random sample of employees (around 20 or so) as early as
next Tuesday evening to complete the 15-20 minute survey as part of a
pilot group, and then the remainder of the sampled employees will be
contacted starting the following Friday, November 11.  Employees will be
contacted at home in the evening, or on weekends to complete the survey.
Employees may reschedule the completion of the survey for a later date
or time, or request to be called at another number.

 

All individual responses to the survey will remain confidential. The
results of the survey will be reported in aggregate and will be used to
help the Board better understand the health care status and needs of all
OEBB members. 

 

If you would like to forward this email to your staff as well, please
feel free to do so.  If you or your employees have any questions
regarding the survey, you can contact Glenn Baly at 503-378-4960.  Thank
you.
