Our team recently kicked off the 2024 season of REVITALIZE, our award-winning wellness program! We’re excited to embark on a whole new year of physical, social, and financial growth, but before we do, let’s look back at everything we accomplished in 2023.
Wellness Going Strong
REVITALIZE is our employee enrichment program dedicated to overall wellness, with challenges and learning opportunities devoted to physical, mental, financial, nutritional, and social health. Now in its 11th year, REVITALIZE continues to evolve, opening doors to help our team meet their personal wellness goals. We’re always looking for more ways to inspire and reward participants, and in 2023 our calendar was jam-packed!
2023 REVITALIZE stats:
- 226 total participants
- 5 walking challenges
- 6 educational brown bags
- 12 Adventure Club challenges
- $57,450 paid out incentives
- 474,191,226 total steps walked by our team
This year, many of our favorite events will return, such as team and partner walking challenges and Adventure Club Bingo Cards, in addition to new fun surprises along the way.
Earning Top Marks
REVITALIZE participants earn incentive points for completing events and meeting goals throughout the year. Point totals translate into funds toward employee HSAs or bank accounts, with the top goal being 1200 points for the year.
About half of our team achieved that milestone, with many others going above and beyond. Our top incentive point winner for the year was Maureen Niedert at 2840 points! Way to go, Maureen!
“I’m all about being healthy and trying to be active as much as possible. I’m always looking for new healthy recipes or just trying to make healthy choices overall so this program helps encourage that which I love! For some people it might be the little nudge they need to get moving or for others is might teach them something about their health that they weren’t aware of. No matter what your need may be, we all need to focus on our health.”

We also awarded our annual Vijay Shah High Stepper Award to Donna Haas for walking 5,597,173 steps in 2023. Each year we honor the top stepper in memory of Vijay Shah—one of V3’s earliest team members who was a big fan of our walking program—and Donna crossed the finish line at nearly 2,800 miles. Congratulations!
“[REVITALIZE means] much more then I ever expected it to. Of course, there is the V3 contribution, but once you start to feel better, have more energy, and become less stressed, you realize how important it is and it become a MUST in your routine.”

About REVITALIZE
REVITALIZE began in 2013 as a way to encourage movement and physical well-being. The program quickly expanded to include additional health goals, and now, we proudly offer a wide variety of wellness events to support different objectives and interests, making it easy and fun for all to get involved. This program has helped us earn multiple awards such as Best Firm to Work For and Healthiest Employer, and we can’t wait to see where this year takes us!
