Your Path Wellness Program leads to improved health, wellness, more

This year, Human Resources is redefining the way it supports employees at Purdue. Wherever they are in their career and life, regardless of where they call home — West Lafayette and Indianapolis, Purdue Northwest or Purdue Fort Wayne — there is unified support to help them move forward on their respective paths.

During open enrollment for 2026 benefits, Human Resources introduced employees to the Your Path Wellness Program. Employees may have noticed the Your Path language strategically placed into weekly open enrollment emails and the 2026 Benefits Guide, offering a preview of what was ahead for 2026.

Resources and insights for every step of your Purdue journey

In 2026, Your Path officially launches across resources and webpages. The wellness program (formerly known as Healthy Boiler) simply brings a new name to the familiar, multifaceted approach to overall well-being that employees have known and trusted since 2018. The five pillars of the program — behavioral health, financial wellness, physical health, social wellness and work-life integration — remain steadfast, supporting the foundation of Purdue’s extensive benefits package and the diverse community it covers. Opportunities to earn incentive funds — deposited into either health savings accounts or health reimbursement arrangements — return with even more ways to earn. Total incentive amounts that can be earned as part of the 2026 Your Path Wellness Program are as follows:

  • Individual: up to $700 total
  • Employee and spouse: up to $700 each
  • Employee and family: up to $1,400 total
  • Employee and children: up to $1,400 total

We’re not just moving forward. We’re on Your Path together.

Purdue HR isn’t just a place to call for help with paperwork or policies. It’s part of a community built on collaboration, persistence and possibility, where support for employees’ goals, growth and well-being is available at every step.

From pay and retirement benefits to wellness incentives and career growth opportunities, employees are empowered to make the most of how they work, grow and integrate their lives.

Your Path is more than a wellness program — it’s a reminder that every Purdue employee’s journey is unique and valued. With comprehensive support across all five pillars of well-being, employees are empowered to choose the path that works best for them, knowing Purdue is with them every step of the way.

Unrivaled pride, unlimited potential. On this path together.
