Each January, people write resolutions designed to improve their well-being in the new year. If you’re one of those people, know that Honeywell is committed to providing the resources to help you—and all Futureshapers—meet those goals.

We take a holistic approach to well-being. In other words, we focus on all components of well-being: financial, physical, mental, and individual.

January is Financial Well-being Month. Check out the many ways that Honeywell can help you take control of your money.

If you want to make the most of your Health Savings Account

You have an HSA – and you make a personal contribution too. But could your HSA be doing more for you? New features in 2024: Honeywell will contribute $200 for all employees with an annual salary of up to $50,000, who open a health savings account (HSA).* Plus, for those of you currently investing part of your account balance, a new money market fund is available and the minimum amount needed to invest has dropped from $1,000 to $500.

*HSA employer contributions are available only to Futureshapers enrolled in the Honeywell Medical Plan. This does not apply to collectively bargained employees of FM&T.

If you’ve decided to take another look at your life insurance

Honeywell automatically provides you with basic life insurance equal to 1 times your annual base pay. In the event you die while working at Honeywell, this amount is paid to your beneficiary. In addition to basic life insurance, we also give you the option of purchasing additional group universal life (GUL) insurance. Learn more.

Physical

If you or a covered dependent want to eat better or tackle a chronic condition

HealthResource provides individual health coaching — free of charge — to address various health needs, including lifestyle risks and chronic conditions. Call 800-944-4887, and request a coach to help you address your specific need.

If you or a covered dependent want to get more exercise

Honeywell has partnered with a number of gyms and retail stores across the country to offer you discounts. Visit Beneplace, our employee discount site, to learn more.
