Headquartered in Oregon, SAIF Corporation is a marketleading, not-for-profit workers’ compensation insurance company. SAIF issues nearly half of the policies in Oregon and offers coverage to over 600,000 workers state-wide. While SAIF has offered employee wellness services – including an on-site medical clinic, annual flu shots, and other ancillary programs – for its 900 employees for over two decades, the wellness program hadn’t taken hold with management or among employees. What’s more, company culture often didn’t prioritize health – a sentiment that was frequently furthered not by management, but by employees’ peers. For example, some employees were unsure if a midday exercise break was appropriate.
