Savage Fit Program Serves up Healthy Fun

What better way to test health and wellness initiatives for clients than by trying them out with our own employees?


At Savage & Associates, we encourage our employees to maintain a healthy lifestyle with a variety of fun activities to promote wellness. SavageFit creates wellness programs that are designed to improve the overall well-being of employees. Using social outreach with Twitter, Facebook and email marketing newsletters, SavageFit keeps a constant eye on what is trending in healthcare and health education. A great way to keep the wellness message in the daily feed.

In the office, a challenge is always good way to kick start good, healthy habits. In line with the 2016 NCAA Tournament, SavageFit created a March Madness wellness activity challenge. Each work day, employees are challenged to complete and track specific healthy activities from three different category lists: Free Throw, 2-points, and 3-points. The goal is to complete four activities from each of the three categories every day. Sheets are turned in and become eligible for a drawing for a gift card at the end of the tournament.

Health management is a business strategy. In today’s climate, companies need plan design options to arrest and reduce health care costs. Helping employees have the tools to live a healthy lifestyle is imperative. Here at Savage & Associates, we want to be a role model for the culture of wellness and prevention, promoting personal responsibility in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The end result of these good habits are:

• Reduced Worker’s Compensation Days
• Reduced Absenteeism
• Improvement in Morale
• Reduced Disability
• Increased Productivity
• Social Responsibility
• Decreased Healthcare Cost
• Increased Healthy Lifestyle Awareness
• Improved Disease Management
• Healthier, happier employees…

All this translates into lower costs for employers and employees.

Excellence continues to shine at Savage & Associates

We pride ourselves on excellence through continuous improvement and learning at Savage & Associates. In honor of this achievement, the “Glass Awards for Excellence” are presented at our annual agency banquet. The award tradition is to present an exceptional piece of glass from The Toledo Museum of Art to the advisor who achieves and exceeds their annual goals in production. We honored six advisors this year who demonstrated excellence in their category and a commitment to our core values of integrity, client focus, accountability, excellence and balance. The 2016 awardees are:

Rising Star – Tamy Hagan, presented by Phil Johnson
Lifetime Achievement Award – Roger Peluso, presented by Joel Tschantz
1st time Million Dollar Round Table Qualifier – Tom Lindsay, presented by Bill Kanary

Rankings and recognitions are no guarantee of future investment success and do not ensure that a client or prospective client will experience a higher level of performance or results. These ratings should not be construed as an endorsement of the advisor by any client nor are they representative of any one client evaluation.

Qualifying membership in the MDRT is based on minimum commission and gross business generated within a year. Each MDRT status designation is granted for one year only. All members must apply every year to continue their affiliation with the Million Dollar Round Table.

The evening was highlighted with a special recognition award for Roger Peluso, who has been with Savage & Associates for over 40 years.  Roger and wife Lillian were presented with a special glass award, flowers and video testimonials from their fellow agents, family and friends.  It was a moment of pride and thanks for a great career.
