Honoring Women, Empowering Futures

March is Women’s History Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the achievements of women throughout history who have paved the way for progress, equality, and empowerment. From trailblazers in science and technology to leaders in business and social change, women have made remarkable contributions to every aspect of society.

At Rockwell Automation, we believe in supporting women not just during this month, but every day.

This Women’s History Month, visit raquickfind.com to see all the benefits and offerings available to you in the 2025 Benefits Guide, ensure your financial security with our Retirement Process Timeline tool, and don’t forget to reach out to the Rockwell Alight Service Center (RASC) at 1.877.687.7272 if you have any questions about the benefits available to you.

Together, we can continue to build a workforce that empowers women to achieve their full potential.

Five Tips for a Healthy Heart

February is recognized as Heart Health Month. This month is an opportunity for us to focus on improving our heart health and minimize the risk of heart disease—the leading cause of death in the U.S. Learn the five tips that you can start doing today. Even one small change can make a big difference.

Keep in mind: It’s important to talk with your doctor before making any significant changes to your health, routines, or lifestyle.

  1. Move Your Body
    It’s recommended that we get 30 minutes of exercise, like walking and gardening, at least five times a week. If you aren’t able to carve out 30 minutes in your day, try moving your body for just five minutes a few times a day. Consistent, low-impact physical exercises, like taking the stairs or stretching on your work break, are much better than none. Don’t forget to log your activity in the OnTrack platform at login.personifyhealth.com to earn points!
    Did you know? If you’re enrolled in a UHC medical plan, you can get free grocery delivery and access to over 22,000 fitness centers through One Pass Select. This fitness subscription service offers five membership tiers starting at only $10/month. Visit onepassselect.com and use your Health Safe ID to learn more.
  2. Eat Healthy Foods
    You can lower your risk of heart disease by eating a mix of healthy foods across all food groups, including vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fish, poultry, beans, and nuts. Be sure to limit foods and beverages higher in saturated fats, added sugars, alcohol, and excess sodium. Keep in mind, the amount of calories you need to eat depends on your age, height, weight, activity, and other factors. You can also track calories in the OnTrack platform at login.personifyhealth.com to earn points!
    Did you know? People tend to eat like their friends and family. If you make healthy choices, the people around you may be inspired to make those same choices.
  3. Know Your Numbers
    During your next annual health checkup, ask your doctor about your blood pressure (BP), body mass index (BMI), total cholesterol, HDL (good cholesterol), LDL (bad cholesterol), triglycerides, and blood glucose (BG). These numbers can give you a snapshot of your health, show risks for things like heart disease, and allow you to have more informed conversations with your doctor.
    Did you know? An in-network preventive health screening, like an annual health checkup, is 100% covered by your Rockwell medical plan. You can earn points when you complete a biometric screening and submit it on the OnTrack platform at login.personifyhealth.com.
  4. Establish a Self-Care Routine
    Chronic stress can cause high blood pressure, increased cholesterol levels, and unhealthy lifestyle choices. Committing to a self-care routine that works for you can help you be better equipped to manage stress. Getting at least seven hours of sleep, drinking eight glasses of water, meditating, doing yoga, taking a warm bath, reading, calling a friend, taking your medications as prescribed, and achieving and maintaining a healthy weight are a few examples of healthy activities you may consider adding to your daily self-care routine.
    Did you know? You have access to guided meditations, breathing exercises, sleep stories, and other mindfulness techniques at no cost to you with the Calm mobile app. To register, visit calm.com/b2b/rockwell-automation/subscribe using your Rockwell Automation email address.
  5. Have Health Data at Your Fingertips
    From recipe apps that keep your diet balanced to fitness apps that track your workouts—you can use a variety of mobile apps to keep your heart health in check. These apps often connect to wearable devices, like a smartwatch or smart ring, so you can automatically measure your steps, heart rate, and sleep to share with your doctor. As a Rockwell employee, you also have free access to the OnTrack platform at login.personifyhealth.com with many of these great resources. Depending on your health status, you may also consider talking to your doctor about using an at-home blood pressure, blood sugar, or heart rate monitor to capture your health data.

January 2025

Financial Wellness Month

Every step toward progress, no matter how small, should be celebrated. Maybe you’re trying to set aside more for those ‘what-if’ moments or thinking longer term by bumping up your retirement savings contributions. Each little win brings you closer to your money goals so you can live the life you want.

Check out Fidelity’s Financial Wellness Month campaign, where you can find hands-on tools and other resources related to must-know money topics, such as:

  • Ways to balance spending and saving priorities
  • How much to save for the unexpected (think medical bills, home, or car repairs)
  • How to stretch your paycheck further

Your Year-End Checklist

As 2024 wraps up, here are a few things you’ll want to check off your to-do list before the year ends.

  1. Schedule Last-Minute Health Care Appointments
    With the year wrapping up, it’s a great time to take advantage of any remaining benefits for checkups, screenings, and other preventive care. Don’t forget that if you’re due for a preventive care exam—many plans cover these 100% with no cost to you. Also, if you’ve met your deductible, you’ll pay less for care and enter 2025 happy and healthy!
  2. Use Your 2024 FSA Funds
    Be sure to use your Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds by December 31, 2024—unused funds don’t roll over from year to year. You have until March 31, 2025 to submit DCFSA claims for eligible expenses incurred in 2024. For Health Care FSA and Limited Purpose FSA funds, you lose any money over $640 left in your account at the end of the year. However, you can submit a claim through March 31 of the following calendar year for expenses incurred in the prior year. To check your FSA balance, visit Your Benefits™.
  3. Watch Your Mailbox for Your 2025 HSA/FSA Cards
    If you enrolled in the Broad Access HSA medical plan for the first time, HealthEquity will mail information in December about your Health Savings Account (HSA), including your HSA debit card you can use to pay for eligible expenses in 2025.
    If you enrolled in a HCFSA, LPFSA, or DCFSA for the first time, keep a lookout for more information in December from Alight Smart-Choice about your FSA, including your FSA debit card you can use to pay for eligible expenses in 2025.
  4. Download Your Digital Medical/Prescription and Dental ID Cards
    If you enrolled in a new medical/prescription or dental plan for 2025, you should receive a physical card in your mailbox in December. Starting in January 2025, you can download your digital ID cards by visiting your medical, prescription, or dental provider’s website. You can also access them on your phone using your provider’s mobile app.
    ID cards will list all covered dependents. If you elected coverage for just yourself, you’ll receive only one card. If you cover any dependents, you’ll receive two cards. If you need additional or replacement cards, visit your provider’s website or mobile app for help.
    Keep in mind: Your dental provider doesn’t need an ID card in order to file a claim for your care.
  5. Verify Your Dependents
    If you enrolled new dependents in medical/prescription, dental, or vision coverage for 2025, be prepared to provide proof of dependent eligibility (marriage certificates, birth certificates, etc.). Make sure to double-check your dependents’ names, Social Security numbers, and dates of birth too!
  6. Earn Up to $500 in Well-Being Credits
    Complete your OnTrack requirements no later than December 31. The credits you earn in 2024 will be applied toward your 2025 medical premiums. View the program requirements here or on page 39 of the 2025 Benefits Guide.
  7. Use Your Vacation Time
    If you’ve accrued vacation time, consider taking time off to relax, recharge, and spend quality time with loved ones. Your number of paid vacation days depends on how long you’ve worked for Rockwell. To see how much vacation time you’re eligible for, go to Workday or read page 36 of the 2025 Benefits Guide.

November 2024

Earn Double Points in November
For the month of November, you have the opportunity to maximize your OnTrack point-earning opportunities (aka: “multipliers”) by engaging with a health coach throughout the month of November. Multipliers reward higher points for consistency in things like steps, sleep tracking, logging healthy habits, and more.

Get Your Free Flu Shot
Flu shots are free through all medical plans—including for your dependents! Get yours through your doctor by showing your UnitedHealthcare ID card, or from CVS Caremark or another network pharmacy (Target Pharmacy, Walmart, Walgreens, etc.) by showing your CVS Caremark ID card.
