My employer's insurance plan has been making an effort to make people more proactive about their health. They have an online health assessment program. There is a financial incentive for those who complete it. There is also a financial incentive for the employer if a certain percentage of employees complete it.

We missed badly last year (the first time they did it). This year we're trying to encourage people to get their butts in gear and do it.

The mildly annoying part? I have to go to a mandatory staff meeting telling us why we should do it, when I've already done it.

Reminds me of me at my last job. I started on Jun 15 I think. Shortly thereafter I was there alone (well there were other people there, but not tech support) while some other folks used their end-of-fiscal-year vacation. It was fun in a warped sort of way.
Office Manager: "The person you usually talk to is on vacation. Let me transfer you to Steve. <pause> That's right, the new guy. <transfer>"
Me: "Hi, this is Steve . . .uh huh . . . Excel? . . .Yeah, you should be able to do that. Let me find the manual and call you back."
