Introducing New Va. State Employee Health & Wellness Benefits Guide

August 26, 2024 / Get Well

The Office of Employee Wellness and Wellbeing (OEWW) is excited to share a valuable new resource designed to help you prioritize your health and wellness. The State Employee Health & Wellness Benefits Guide is a comprehensive guide provided by the Virginia Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM). It outlines the various benefits available to you as a state of Virginia employee.

What’s Inside?
This guide spotlights various employee benefits offered by the state to support your well-being. You’ll find a variety of options designed to assist you in achieving your health goals, including:

  • No-cost benefits.
  • Financial incentives and rewards associated with certain benefits.
  • Contact information for your health plan if you need assistance or have inquiries.

Please note:
While the guide primarily focuses on information for employees who have opted into the NOVA-provided insurance plans, there is also information for CommonHealth (the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Employee Wellness Program), which is largely available to all employees.

Please Take a Few Minutes to Explore
We encourage you to review the guide carefully and familiarize yourself with the benefits that are most relevant to your wellness journey. By understanding the resources available to you, you can make informed decisions about your health and well-being. If you have questions or need assistance regarding a specific benefit, please refer to the contact information in the guide.

Of course, benefits and requirements are subject to change and additional health and wellness benefits may also be added, so please check with your health plan or refer to the member handbooks for more details.

NOVA Employee Benefits
