Where You Work: Maybury Material Handling

Posted on November 6, 2017

At Health New England, we strongly believe that your health plan should do more than just pay for doctors’ bills when you are sick. That’s why, in addition to our full range of benefits, we offer our employer groups a tailored, comprehensive worksite wellness program option called Healthy Directions. Healthy Directions is designed specifically for your worksite and employee population, and is administered for free by Health New England’s Health Management Program team.

One of our employer groups, Maybury Material Handling, continues to be an active participant and leader in offering their employees wellness-related programs and incentives, and has been involved in the Healthy Directions Employer Wellness Program since 2014. To date, Maybury employees have participated in:

• (3) Kick-off events
• (6) Nutrition presentations & challenges
• (6) Preventive programs
• (5) Physical activity challenges

Not only does Maybury offer a variety of wellness activities throughout the year to its employees through our Health Directions program, such as onsite physical activity challenges, biometric screenings and nutritional education, but they also have accommodations for their employees to stay healthy by offering:

• Onsite fitness facility
• Outdoor walking paths
• Healthy snack vending machines
• Free Fitbit (after 90 days of employment)

Testimonials

“The Maybury wellness program changed my life. Being a part of the wellness team inspired me to be a role model to other employees. I lost 75 pounds using the tools (wellness seminars and Fitbit) given to me by Maybury.” Katie Schneider, Service Coordinator Supervisor

“I am thankful to have the Wellness program here at Maybury. The wellness programs have educated me on how easy it is to make healthier choices. I have been encouraged to walk more, thanks to my Fitbit! I find myself constantly able to use the information I’ve been given.” Sara Rathbun, Sales Support Specialist

“Our wellness plan has inspired me to watch my weight. Though I may not eat properly or watch what I am eating, I still watch my weight and monitor my steps every day. I do not want to be 325 lbs. again!” Mike Glasheen, Parts Advisor

“The Maybury Wellness program has been (and still is) a great motivator for myself to keep active. I carry my Fitbit regularly to keep track of my daily steps and find myself parking further from the door to try and get those extra steps in to reach my daily goals.” Bill Allegretti, Road Service Technician
