Live Healthy Program | Healthy Lifestyles

Wellness programs at TI emphasize the importance of physical activity and good nutrition. Select programs such as on-site cancer screenings and flu immunizations, employer subsidized on-site fitness facilities, work-life balance seminars, disability nurse case management, disease management, provision for medical nutrition therapy in the health benefits plan, on-site weight management and walking programs, and healthy vending and cafeteria options support this goal.

Healthy Vending and Cafeteria Options
Why offer TIers healthier choices in vending machines? Because, that's the one place many of us run to when we've forgotten to eat breakfast or need a quick "pick me up" in the afternoon. That's also where many items have high calorie and fat content. Temptation is sometimes too strong to resist, so, if more healthy choices are available, we hope TIers make a selection that might lead them down a healthier path. TI has worked with our cafeteria/vending supplier to select and offer these choices, and the nutritional content has been reviewed and approved by a licensed dietician. Our cafeterias also offer healthy meal options for TIers.

On-site Walking
Participation in on-site walking programs is encouraged. Employees can participate in a 12-week walking program. The program is an easy-to-use option for enhancing overall health and physical activity. TIers can get together with co-workers and participate as a group, or participate individually on their own schedule and location. The program includes a pedometer to log everyday activity steps, a log book, motivation through e-weekly e-mails and prize drawings as an additional incentive to complete the program.
