Thanks for your interest in learning more about the Employee Wellness Program!
A healthy, productive workforce is critical to the success of County Departments in serving the public and their clients.
The San Mateo County Employee Wellness Program is an employee benefit designed to help you be your healthy best. Our goal is to create healthy workspaces and support healthy employees!
As a County employee, retiree or family member, you are encouraged to take an active role in taking good care of your health. One way is to participate in the Employee Wellness + Work-Life trainings, programs and activities offered at your work-site. You can attend many employee wellness +work-life programs on County time at little or no cost to you.
Welcome New Hires!
Welcome to San Mateo County! You have a lot of information to learn as a new employee, so we want to keep things simple.
Be selfish! Take care of your health & well-being! Join the County’s “Culture of Health” by finding ways to bring more wellness into your workday.
Get Rewarded! The County offers an exciting Wellness Dividends program for participating in County and Health Plan sponsored wellness activities. To learn more about this year’s program, log into PreventionCloud for more information.
Get Involved! There are several ways that you can quickly learn more about our program, services and activities:

- Sign up for a class or browse our training schedule on PreventionCloud. Unless otherwise indicated, you can attend County wellness + work-life programs on County time with your supervisor’s approval.
- Talk with your Department’s Wellness Champion to learn more about what’s happening in your department and at your worksite. Ask your supervisor or manager if you don’t know who that person is.
General Information for Employees:
Per the County Wellness Policy, the County has established an annual training target of four hours of wellness activities for every employee.
