Something New in Navigate
Navigate has been updated to include Targeted Actions that employees can complete if they do not meet one or more of the Health Metric Bonus Points from their biometric screening. These targeted actions are video courses with quizzes for each topic. Each course will take 8 weeks to complete and employees can enroll in one or more. To enroll – simply click on the Targeted Action link for each topic and select Record.
- Video Courses: Most of the video courses are set up to be able to watch the different chapters/videos in succession without having to wait a week in between chapters. The only four video courses that participants must wait a week until the next chapter is unlocked are those for the Targeted Actions (Metabolic Syndrome, Physical Activity and Nutrition, Heart Health and Weight Management courses).
- Uploads: Documents uploaded should be in JPEG or PDF format. On a related topic, a volunteer form has been added to the portal for employees that complete community service. Appropriate documentation should be uploaded such as the completed form, proof of registration for an event.

Take 10: Week 1
Moving toward an active, healthy lifestyle can seem difficult, but you don’t have to make the change all at once. This challenge helps you increase your daily activity minutes by taking advantage of every break and lull in the day. You’ll be surprised how quickly 10 minutes here and there will add up.
Here are a few small changes you can consider to add activity to your daily routine:
- Double task – play with your kids outdoors or take a brisk walk while you catch up with friends on the phone.
- Complete small exercises (jumping jacks, push-ups, sit ups, burpees) during the commercial breaks of your evening TV shows, or every 8-10 minutes when you’re streaming something.
- Plan specific times to exercise so you aren’t rushed and behind your goal at the end of the day.
