Adults who are in the prime of their careers spend nine hours a day at work. Research shows that healthy employees contribute to stronger workplaces, families and communities — and reduce the costs of health care. For these reasons, we are deeply committed to promoting good health through area workplaces.
In 2008, we launched our signature [email protected] initiative in partnership with leading large employers. [email protected] provides workplaces with structured support and funds to incentivize employees in improving nutrition, physical activity and tobacco cessation through an array of program activities, policy development and environmental changes. Currently, we’re engaging up to 20 workplaces in the initiative each year and place emphasis on low-wage employees and small employers.
Workplace culture is critical to changing our wellness norms and values in the community, and [email protected] is a platform designed to advance these goals.
If your organization is interested in participating in future [email protected] efforts, please contact us at 717.960.9009.
