BetterHealth AMBASSADORS

Program Overview As part of the City of Albuquerque’s BetterHealth initiative, our efforts for 2018

focus on increasing physical activity, improving nutrition, and reducing tobacco use by engaging the majority of our employees in healthy lifestyle habits.

To help our organization make this cultural shift, we have enlisted volunteer BetterHealth Ambassadors who will share their enthusiasm, initiative and

motivation to inspire others to be part of a meaningful, organization-wide wellness initiative. BetterHealth Ambassadors are asked to take a small amount of work time

to encourage participation, relay and hand out information, send location-specific emails and assist with events as needed. It is assumed that time spent on these tasks does not interfere with overall job responsibilities. In the spirit of work-life

balance, we’ve designed the role of BetterHealth Ambassador to be easy and fun – not another job!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a BetterHealth Ambassador?

BetterHealth Ambassadors are wellness champions and advocates for healthy living, no matter where they are in their personal health journeys. Ambassadors serve as liaisons between the City of Albuquerque BetterHealth Program and employees at

their work locations, promoting health and wellness among coworkers and engaging them to participate.

What type of responsibilities will I have in this role?

Coordinating a 2018 wellness kickoff event at your location.

Examples include: healthy potluck, wellness bulletin board, wellness workshop

BetterHealth Program input, promotion, and problem-solving Developing worksite promotional initiatives for coworkers.

Where can I find more information about City of Albuquerque Employee Wellness initiatives and activities?

The BetterHealth program for city employees and their families offers a pathway to pursuing a healthy lifestyle. The program includes health education, wellness interventions, and campaigns to make healthy lifestyles easier at work.

The BetterHealth Program focuses on effectively and collaboratively addressing the

program's priorities to increase physical activity, improve nutrition, and reduce

tobacco use. Science-based strategies are used to improve health. The healthy

office culture that emerges over time will demonstrate that the City of Albuquerque

truly values the health of its employees.

BetterHealth Ambassadors and City of Albuquerque employees can stay up to date

on wellness programs and initiatives by referring to the following website link, https://www.cabq.gov/BetterHealth.


In addition, attending the BetterHealth Ambassador quarterly meetings is a great way to gather information about employee wellness initiatives and activities.

What does it mean to “participate in and/or facilitate” Health & Wellness

initiatives at my worksite? As a BetterHealth Ambassador, you are not expected to create your own initiatives unless you want to. We do expect BetterHealth Ambassadors to be actively involved

in at least two wellness initiatives per year. Some examples include: Joining BetterHealth programs, activities, or challenges and encouraging co-

workers to get involved and complete them. Coordinating onsite Lunch & Learns or educational workshops on topics such as

making time for fitness, healthy meals and snacks at work, mindfulness, and

getting better sleep. Facilitating a healthy potluck at your work location.

Inviting co-workers to train for a community fitness event for a good cause, and all participants wear the same incentive such as t-shirts or shoe laces. Examples of events include Run for the Zoo, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, Heart

Walk, or Doggie Dash & Dawdle. Inviting co-workers to join you on a walk at lunch or during a break (while

adhering to allotted break times and Department policies). Encouraging participation in the annual health fair.

Posting wellness posters in your work location. As a BetterHealth Ambassador, you will have valuable insight into which activities

employees at your worksite would most enjoy. No matter what you choose to do, we ask that you use your judgement, discuss your plans with your supervisor,

obtain supervisor’s approval prior to announcing events, and invite supervisors to participate. By maintaining strong communication with managers and supervisors, you can eliminate surprises and awkward situations. Some departments have

restrictions on when and where employees may exercise during the work day due to public perception that employees are “slacking off” while on the job. If your

department has one of these policies, align all activities with the policy. We also ask you to report back to the BetterHealth program staff with details of the

event you organized, how it was received, and any feedback you have for improvement or additional activities. When possible, please send photos. We will

be featuring a series of Success Stories in future promotional materials and would love to tell your story!

I am a trained fitness instructor. Can I lead an exercise class at my location?

There are potential liability issues associated with the physical activity components of workplace wellness programs. To minimize liability, the BetterHealth program:

Specifies that physical activity is voluntary and must be done outside of work

hours (before or after work or during unpaid breaks). Encourages warm-up before physical activity and stretching afterwards.

Will consider allowing certified instructors to lead on-site activities if they have proof of current fitness certification, liability insurance, and current CPR certification. Pre-approval is required by the Health and Wellness Coordinator

and supervisors. Employees must sign release of liability forms before participating in approved instructor-led activities. The waivers stress that

participation is voluntary and not a requirement of employment. The waivers


may also advise that employees get a healthcare provider’s clearance before participating.

How much time is involved?

We anticipate that BetterHealth Ambassadors will need to commit about two hours each month, attend at least 2 out of 4 quarterly Ambassador meetings, and participate in the annual training session.

• Quarterly Ambassador meetings – 1.25 hours each • Annual BetterHealth Ambassador Training – 3 hours approved leave

Will I be expected to fulfill my BetterHealth Ambassador duties during work hours?

Yes, most duties can be handled during working hours.

Does being a BetterHealth Ambassador involve travel? If you are unable to meet in person, quarterly meetings will be available via conference call and/or web. We encourage you to attend in person and get better

acquainted with your fellow ambassadors.

When do the quarterly meetings take place? Please see page 11 for the 2018 BetterHealth Ambassador meeting schedule.

If I am eligible and chosen to be a City of Albuquerque BetterHealth Ambassador, how long will I stay in the role?

We ask that you commit to being an ambassador for the full 2018 calendar year. You will have the opportunity to re-apply to serve another term.

Is there a limit to how long I can be a BetterHealth Ambassador? BetterHealth Ambassadors may serve as long as they remain active in their role or

for two consecutive years if another employee from their department and location is interested in taking on the role.

What if my situation changes and I am unable to fulfill my duties? If you must opt out, we ask that you find a replacement representative from your

location, if possible, and assist your successor in the transition.

What does ‘Without Conflict of Interest’ mean? For example, can I be a BetterHealth Ambassador if I work part time as a weight loss consultant? The primary purpose of a BetterHealth Ambassador is to communicate and promote

the City of Albuquerque’s BetterHealth Wellness Program and associated activities. The “Without Conflict of Interest” requirement prohibits BetterHealth Ambassadors

from using their role as representatives of the City of Albuquerque to encourage or sell wellness or fitness-related products to coworkers. Our role is to encourage employees to improve eating habits, increase physical activity, avoid tobacco, and

lead a balanced and healthy lifestyle in ways that best meet their needs. For example you can be a BetterHealth Ambassador and still work as a weight loss

consultant, but it is not appropriate for you to encourage, sell or promote any health and fitness programs or services, nutrition supplements, essential oils, etc. to fellow employees.


Can I find the information in this toolkit online? Yes. This document can be found online under ‘BetterHealth Ambassador’ section,

https://www.cabq.gov/BetterHealth.

What is the difference between BetterHealth Ambassadors and members of the BetterHealth Wellness Committee? The BetterHealth Ambassador program was established in 2016 to involve

interested volunteer employees in reaching our workforce of over 6,000 employees at 168 work locations, encouraging them to be healthier, and making small changes

in the work culture.

The BetterHealth Wellness Committee was established in 2012 for wellness partners

to begin integrating wellness initiatives. Committee members include city employees with job descriptions that address employee health (such as employees

from Employee Health Services), community health partners (such as American Cancer Society), health and wellness contractors (such as The Solutions Group, Presbyterian Health Plan, and Nuvita), and representatives from the 17

participating government entities enrolled in the city’s health plans. The Wellness Committee meets quarterly during months when Ambassadors do not meet.

Wellness contractors will be invited to Ambassador meetings to discern how the two groups can work together.

I have some additional questions. Who can I contact? For more information, please contact Wellness Coordinator Lisa Gatan at 768-2921

or Wellness Assistant Shannon Brady at 768-3732. You may also email questions to [email protected] or [email protected].

Annual Employee Health Fair

Every year the BetterHealth program hosts a health and benefits fair in the Convention Center for

employees and their families. Approximately 1,100 people attend! Health screenings and flu shots are

available. Benefits representatives answer questions about medical, dental, vision, life insurance,

deferred compensation, flexible spending accounts, and retirement. In addition, community

organizations and businesses promote their products and services.

Exhibitors use giveaways to attract participants to their booths. Instead of candy giveaways, the

BetterHealth Program requires healthier alternatives. Employees can win great raffle prizes donated by

exhibitors. Two hours Paid Leave – Other (PLO) is usually approved for employees to attend this event.

In 2016 and 2017 Ambassadors greeted employees at the Health Fair entrance. In 2018, Ambassador

greeters will be utilized again. Ambassadors may also volunteer to provide information at the Class of

2019 Ambassador recruitment table.


BetterHealth Ambassadors

In 2018, twenty-nine selected employees from various work locations will share their enthusiasm,

communication skills, and motivation to inspire their co-workers to be part of City of Albuquerque’s

organization-wide wellness initiative.

BetterHealth Program Emails, Posters, and Newsletters

1. To promote every BetterHealth program, email blasts are sent to Ambassadors, all HR

Coordinators, and employees on the BetterHealth Email Distribution List. Ambassadors and HR

Coordinators are asked to get the word out by forwarding information to employees. Previous

year Ambassadors suggest customizing the emails and the email subject lines, and reminding

colleagues that Ambassadors are there to help and answer questions.

2. A BetterHealth Ambassador email signature has been developed for Ambassadors to use in

related emails to your colleagues. NEW in 2018!

3. Posters with BetterHealth event information and health messages are distributed regularly to

Ambassadors and department contacts with a request to post. Ambassadors may consider

developing a wellness bulletin board for the posters.

4. JohnnyBoards are customized frames that include BetterHealth flyers. Each month new flyers

are posted in restrooms, above water fountains, and near time clocks at 10 locations with

mostly field employees. Locations include Solid Waste Administration building; Eagle Rock;

Cerro Colorado; Montessa Park Convenience Center, Montessa Park/Parks and Recreation; Yale,

Daytona, and Alvarado Transit Centers; Pino Yard; and 4th Street Fueling Station.

Flu Shots & Colorectal Cancer Screening Assessment

Every fall, the BetterHealth program hosts flu shot clinics at 25 work site locations. This service is available to employees, spouses and dependents ages 19 and older. Benefits of getting vaccinated include preventing illness and reducing the risk of spreading influenza to others.

To increase colorectal cancer screening for participants who are 50 and over, screening efforts are

combined with annual flu shot events. Participants are provided an assessment form and if it is

determined that they are at average risk for colorectal cancer they will receive a take home kit.

Full Plate Living – NEW in Fiscal Year 2019!

A healthy lifestyle can be achieved through practical, straightforward steps. Full Plate Living isn’t just

about losing weight, or keeping it off, it is about helping participants live a healthy lifestyle that is fun,

feels great, and most importantly, is sustainable for the remainder of their lives.

The Full Plate program educates participants on a high fiber diet through the completion of 16 online

lessons. This approach works because foods naturally high in fiber are naturally low in calories and filling

to eat.

Gym Locations

A number of work locations have on-site gyms for their employees, including Police Academy, Fire

Academy, Aviation, and 911.

fitness equipment throughout Albuquerque for a small fee of $15 per year. See City of Albuquerque

website for more information.

Health Education Workshops & Video Links

coordinate at their work locations. Coordination may include reserving conference rooms, setting-up

audiovisual equipment, inviting co-workers to attend with an email and flyer, and reporting results. See

will be sent to Ambassadors every 3-6 months.

page 47). Upon receiving requests from Ambassadors, BetterHealth staff will contact presenters, check

their availability and finalize the dates. Presentation times are flexible! Presentations have been

delivered at 9am on Saturdays to library staff and 7am, 10am, 11am, noon, and 3pm at other locations.

Educational video web links are included in the workshop list. Ambassadors may host a group viewing at

any time, or send a web link to employees and encourage them to view it when they have time.

Preparation for group showings includes reserving a conference room with a computer, monitor,

Internet, and speakers. Then simply play the video.

Remember to discuss your workshop plans with your supervisor, obtain supervisor’s

approval prior to announcing workshops, and invite supervisors to participate.

Healthy Food in Offices - Nutrition Guidelines

Guidelines were developed in 2013 to demonstrate our commitment to Better Health. The availability of

healthy foods at office celebrations and events can help employees make nutritious choices and can

influence their long-term health and wellness. The guidelines and potluck sign-up templates are

available at https://www.solutionsbiz.com/loginArea/Admin/CityDocs.cfm

coaching by phone and email to enrolled employees and dependents over the age of 18 at no extra cost.

plans. Additional worksite locations vary. Thirty minutes Paid Leave - Other (PLO) is usually approved for

employees to participate.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

Mindfulness is the cultivation of attention to our moment-to-moment experience. The majority of

people who complete MBSR courses report an increased ability to cope more effectively with both short

and long-term stressful situations. Research also shows that MBSR helps with nicotine addiction, weight

issues, compulsive eating, type 2 diabetes, and many other health conditions.

Four 8-week courses will be offered in 2018. In addition, eight 1-hour MBSR workshops will be available

for Ambassadors to arrange at their work locations.

appointment. Walk-in visits are seen based on availability of healthcare provider. View the monthly

schedule at https://www.cabq.gov/mobilehealthcenter.

Mother’s Room in City Hall

Breastfeeding is one of the most highly effective preventive measures a mother can take to protect the

health of her infant and herself, including the maintenance of a healthier weight. Employment is now

the norm for U.S. women of childbearing age we know that returning to work after having a baby can be

challenging. Breastfeeding is a personal decision; however, the BetterHealth program is committed to

providing on-site lactation support.

The Mother’s Room in City Hall includes two private pumping stations, a refrigerator to store breast

milk, and a nearby sink to wash supplies. Commercial grade breast pumps are available to mother’s

using Ameda Purely Yours Express breast pumps. These mothers simply bring their own tubing.

Interested employees should contact the Health and Wellness Coordinator in the Insurance and Benefits

office for more information.

All department HR Coordinators are prepared to identify temporary space for employees who wish to

breastpump upon returning from maternity leave.

Nuvita Weight Loss Challenge - New in 2018!

The Nuvita 6-week weight loss challenge is a new program designed to help employees adopt life-long

patterns of physical activity and lose weight in the process. A heart rate monitor and Bluetooth enabled

scale sync with the Nuvita online platform. Participants receive a workbook and coaching webinars. All

participants must have smartphones. Before and after health screenings demonstrate health

https://www.cabq.gov/mobilehealthcenter


improvements to committed participants. Spouses and domestic partners may enroll with employees.

The weight loss challenge will be offered in the fall.

Personal Health Assessment

Presbyterian offers a Personal Health Assessment to all City of Albuquerque benefits-eligible employees,

spouses, and domestic partners, including employees covered by other medical insurance plans. A $25

Gift Card from the BetterHealth Program is offered once every fiscal year for completing the confidential

online assessment. Individual responses are never disclosed, but aggregate data is reviewed for

program planning.

Quit for Life

The Quit For Life® (QFL) program is available to employees, spouses and domestic partners. When

participants utilize program components as directed, including phone coaching, nicotine replacement

therapy (NRT), and online tools, they are more likely to quit compared to trying to quit using tobacco

products on their own. The program helps people quit using all types of tobacco, including chew and e-

cigarettes.

Quit for Life allows participants to quit at their own pace. QFL coaches teach skills to control nicotine

cravings and urges. Instructions for proper use of NRT are included with the program, and when

appropriate, NRT can be mailed directly to the participant’s home at no cost. Enroll online or by phone.

The first 500 benefits-eligible employees to join team CABQ BetterTogether by January 12, 2018 will be

provided entry in the May, 2018 event, along with a team t-shirt. BetterHealth Ambassadors initiated

this campaign in 2017. Ambassadors designed the poster and created email blasts with event

information to increase recruitment from 28 in 2017 to 500 employee participants in 2018!

day. In 2014 the stairwells in City Hall were labeled and painted with motivating health designs.

platform houses the Personal Health Assessment (PHA), biometric screening results, recipes, workout

plans and much more! Available to benefits-eligible employees, spouses and domestic partners.

BetterHealth Ambassador Program Evaluation

Employee Participation

A measure for the BetterHealth Ambassador program success is overall

employee participation. Use of the sign-in template (can be found in the

resource section on page 43) is required for all on-site activities to assist in this

measure and should be returned to the BetterHealth Program Coordinator.

Ambassador Activities

The number of Ambassadors participating each year and the type of activities

they pursue will also be tracked. The ultimate goal for the Ambassador program

is to have 60 ambassadors per year, representing all work locations with more

than 30 employees. In 2016 we had 23 Ambassadors. In 2017, thirty-three

were selected. In 2018, twenty-nine were selected.

BetterHealth Ambassador Program Progress Report

In preparation for recruiting new Ambassadors each year, a progress report will

be produced and distributed to senior leaders and department directors. Topics

include:

How to take a successful

Blood Pressure Reading

Applying the Blood Pressure Cuff:

1. Make sure the air hose is securely attached to the main unit.

2. Push shirt sleeve high up on upper arm.

3. Sit in the chair with your feet flat on the floor. Place your left

arm on the table so the cuff is level with your heart.

4. Place the bottom of the cuff 1/2 inch above your elbow.

5. With palm facing up, apply the cuff so that the air hose is

aligned with the center of your arm and hand.

6. Wrap the cuff firmly in place around your arm using the

fastener— ensure that there is enough space to fit 2 fingers

between the cuff and your arm.

Taking a Measurement:

1. After properly applying the cuff, press the START button.

2. Make sure to sit still, refrain from talking and breathe at a

normal pace.

3. The cuff will automatically inflate. Once optimal inflation is

reached, it will begin to take the measurement.

4. When the measurement is complete, the monitor will

display your blood pressure and your pulse.

5. Accurately write down your blood pressure reading.

6. Press the white button to clear your blood pressure reading

from the display.

Systolic

Pulse (Heart Rate)

Diastolic

If monitor, air hose or arm cuff are broken or

not functioning properly, please contact:

CABQ Insurance and Benefits Division—768-3758

Make sure the Blood Pressure Monitor is plugged into

the electrical outlet.

27

I Have a High Blood Pressure Reading,

Now What?

Make sure you have been calmly sitting down for at least 5 minutes before taking your blood

pressure reading. Also, do not drink coffee or smoke tobacco within 30 minutes before taking your

blood pressure, as these can affect the outcome.

Adjust and make sure the blood pressure cuff is fitting correctly. Sit comfortably in the chair with

both feet flat on the floor.

Take your blood pressure reading again.

If your blood pressure is in the yellow or orange zones of the above chart, you

are in the Elevated or Hypertension Stage 1 or Stage 2 Category. Follow up by

scheduling an appointment with your doctor for steps and options to address

your blood pressure.

When to consult your doctor immediately?

If your blood pressure is higher than 180/120, wait about 5 minutes and try taking a reading

again. If the second reading is just as high, consult your doctor immediately.

Hypertensive emergencies generally occur at blood pressure levels exceeding 180 systolic OR

120 diastolic, but organ damage can occur at even lower levels in individuals whose blood

pressure had not been previously high.

Healthy Health Fair Giveaways

Giving away chocolate and candy at health fairs may attract employees to your

table, but it sends a mixed message. The message we want to convey is: we care

about your health. So we would like to promote healthy food and beverages at our

events. Vendors that choose to provide giveaways at their table are encouraged to

offer non-food items or consider healthier alternatives to candy. Suggested items

are listed below.

If you choose to giveaway food, offer products that come from a food group:

fruit, vegetable, whole grain, lean protein, or low-fat dairy.

Look for products free of trans fat, and low in sodium, saturated fat, and

added sugars by reading food labels and scanning the ingredients list.

o Sodium: look for the lowest amount per serving. Ideally, <140 mg per

serving.

o Saturated fat: < 2 g per serving. Skip products listing palm oil in

ingredients list.

o Trans fat: 0 g per serving. Skip products listing partially hydrogenated

oils in ingredients list.

ADMINISTRATIVE INSTRUCTION NO. 7-53

SUBJECT: Break Time for Lactation

The Effective Date:

This Administrative Instruction is effective immediately.

The City of Albuquerque recognizes the health benefits of breastfeeding and supports accommodation of mothers who choose to utilize their own breast pump to express breast milk upon returning to work after maternity leave of absence.

This Administrative Instruction is in compliance with the break time requirement for nursing mothers in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), which took effect on March 23,2010 (P.L. 111-148). PPACA also amended Section 7(r) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) which regulates break time for nursing mothers.

This Administrative Instruction also aligns with New Mexico state law [NMSA 1978, Section 28-20-2 (Amended 2007)] which requires employers to provide flexible break time and a clean, private space, not a bathroom, in order to foster the ability of a nursing mother who is an employee to use a breast pump in the workplace.

Policy

A. Flexible Scheduling1. A nursing employee is allowed to use a breast pump to express milk during the work

day using her regular break and meal periods. Since the frequency and duration oflactation breaks will likely vary throughout the nursing period, a nursing employeeshall be allowed a reasonable flexible break schedule for lactation with her ownbreast pump. The time allowed for milk expression breaks each work daywill not exceed the combined total amount of time for regular employee break andmeal periods. For time above and beyond the combined total amount of time forbreak and meal periods, the employee may request a lacta t ion break schedulethat includes the use o f available vacation or sick leave accruals. An employeewho does not have sufficient vacation or sick leave accruals must request the use ofPersonal Leave Without Pay.

2. Under no circumstances will the employee be paid overtime pay to complete theirwork due to the time required to express milk.

3. In order to prepare a work schedule and coverage for a nursing employee who providesuninterrupted city services, the employee must provide to her supervisor at thebeginning of each pay week a proposed schedule for expressing milk with a breastpump.

4. All flexible lactation break schedule requests are subject to approval by thedepartment based on reasonableness of the request. Supervisors will consultwith the employee to iden t ify a flexible break schedule that considers

Page 1 of 3

43

parameters of the employee's job description and the service being provided.

B. Designated Lactation Space

1. Each department will provide a sanitary, lockable, private room or other spacewhere an employee can express milk with her own breast pump in privacy, shieldedfrom view, and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public. This room orspace may be used by other on-duty city employees when the room is not being usedto express milk.

2. Where possible, the room will be located near a sink with running water for washinghands and rinsing out breast pump parts, and have an electrical outlet. Wherepossible, the room or space will be in close proximity to the employees' work area.The room may not be a toilet stall or bathroom. If employees prefer, they mayexpress milk in their own private office or other comfortable locations agreed uponin consultation with the employee's supervisor.

3. It is the employee's responsibility to keep the location clean after each use andremove any personal items.

4. Nursing employees who do not work in an office setting but provide uninterrupted cityservices may be required to use a room or space established by this AdministrativeInstruction at a city facility that is not operated by the department in which theemployee works. The employee would be required to use this room or space in orderto minimize travel time to and from the employee's work location to the room or space.

5. Some departments may elect to provide transportation for the employee from thefield to the building in which the lactation space is located.

6. Twice a year, in January and in July, the Human Resources department willdistribute a list of each city facility that has or may have a private room or spacefor expressing milk. This list will provide the following information: Name offacility or complex, street address, days and hours of operation, location of theroom or space, parking information, any restrictions for the use of the room orspace, contact name, phone number, and email address. Departmentrepresentatives may use the list to identify facilities that meet the needs of theirdepartment. Each department is responsible for making lactation spacearrangements.

C. Storing Breast Milk1. Nursing employees will provide their own containers and storage unit such as small

ice chest or thermos from home if these accommodations are not in place.2. If breast milk is stored in a common refrigerator, the expressed milk container must

be placed in a clean, closed container, which has the mother's name and date on it.It is the employee's responsibility to remove expressed· milk at the end of each day.

D. Employee's Responsibility1. Employees need to inform their supervisor as early as possible of their intention to

continue breast pumping following maternity leave of absence. At least two (2) weeks'a d v a n c e notice should be given. This provides the department time for all

Page 2 of 3

44

necessary arrangements to be made. 2. At the beginning of each pay week, provide the supervisor a proposed break schedule

for expressing milk with a breast pump.

E. Supervisor's Responsibility1. Upon receiving an employee's advance notification of her intention to express milk

during the work day, the department must take necessary steps to ensure schedule androom arrangements are made prior to an employee's return to work.

2. Retaliation is prohibited against an employee who files a complaint, institutes aproceeding, or testifies in a lactation break time investigation (Section 15(a)(3) of theFLSA).

F. Human Resources Department Responsibility

1. Provide list identified in section B-6 of this Administrative Instruction.

2. As part of the procedure for applying for maternity leave under the Family andMedical Leave Act, mothers shall be provided this Administrative Instruction.

G. Maximum Time Frame for Schedule Adaptation1. The flexible lactation break schedule and space accommodations for employees will

expire one year from the date of birth of the child.2. If the employee discontinues breast pumping before the child's first birthday, the

employee is obligated to inform her supervisor of the date she will discontinue breastpumping. Failure to inform the supervisor upon discontinuing breast pumping andcontinuing to utilize the space accommodations or schedule adaptation would beconsidered a policy violation subject to appropriate disciplinary action.

H. ScopeThis Administrative Instruction applies to all current employees, classified and unclassified, including but not limited to interns, volunteers and seasonal employees.

This Administrative Instruction is effective upon signature by the Chief Administrative Officer of the City and will remain in effec

· mended.

FRESH OPTION PRODUCE

The Fresh Option program is designed to deliver and encourage healthy snacks at meetings and celebrations. The

program, which includes delivery of individual pieces of fresh produce, is available to BetterHealth Ambassadors at

all City of Albuquerque locations.

WAYS TO USE FRESH OPTIONS?

Wellness educational workshops.

BetterHealth program orientations and celebrations such as Good Measures & Nuvita orientations and Check

Change Control celebrations.

Staff days or retreats that include wellness initiatives, such as library staff day.

Staff training with at least one wellness announcement.

Staff meetings with at least one wellness announcement.

HOW TO REQUEST A PRODUCE DELIVERY

1. Any BetterHealth Ambassador may initiate a Fresh Option order. Each BetterHealth Ambassador is limited

to two produce deliveries per calendar year.

2. Requests are accepted via online submission only using the Produce Request Form. Orders must be

received at least one week prior to the requested Tuesday/Wednesday distribution date.

3. A typical order can provide a serving of fresh produce to as little as 6 to as many as 50 employees. Please

allow 2 weeks for larger requests of up to 150. The Produce Request Form requires contact information,

event information, complete delivery address, quantity of produce and date of activity. Time of delivery
