Join the Balanced You Well-being Advisory Committee

Do you have ideas on how King County can better support the well-being of you and your colleagues? Balanced You is seeking employees interested in joining our Balanced You Employee Well-being Advisory Committee! Any King County employee who is interested is invited to apply. 

Inspired by employees, Balanced You equips us to live healthy and safe, know and use our benefits, and find balance in life and work. We’re Investing in YOU to help you feel good, get the most out of life, and do your best work for the people of King County.  

What you will do 

The well-being advisory committee will shape the programs Balanced You offers employees. Participating employees will provide insight on strategic planning, let Balanced You know what’s affecting the health and well-being of you and your colleagues, provide feedback on well-being program development, and help communicate Balanced You programs and messages to other employees. 

The commitment 

• The group meets monthly for one hour and may meet more frequently during special project periods. 
• Employees may be asked to help distribute communications to employees in their department between meetings. 
• Employees serving on the Committee can do so during paid work time.  
• If an employee needs to have their participating hours covered by Balanced You’s funds, otherwise referred to as being “detailed” in order to participate in the Advisory Committee, Balanced You can provide funding for this.
