The Healthy Business Council of Ohio (HBCO) has recognized the City of Dublin as a Healthy Workplace Gold Award winner. This is the first time the City has achieved Gold status, having previously achieved Silver status in 2015 and 2017.
The City of Dublin is one of 111 Ohio employers that the HBCO will recognize for healthy worksite practices during the 16th annual Healthy Worksite Awards presentation in January. The Healthy Worksite Award recognizes Ohio employers who demonstrate a commitment to employee wellness through comprehensive worksite health promotion and wellness programs. Applicants are scored on the extent their wellness programs facilitate and encourage employee health, enhance productivity and ensure a healthy work environment.
“We take great pride in our efforts to promote a healthy lifestyle,” said City of Dublin Human Resources Director Homer Rogers. “We do this not only from a workplace productivity standpoint but also out of a true concern for the well-being of our employees and their families. Our employee health and wellness metrics consistently outperform the averages provided to us by our healthcare administrator. It is evident that the City’s Healthy by Choice wellness program continues to inspire a healthy culture while providing a boost to employee morale, employee engagement and talent retention.”
All applications for the HBCO awards were reviewed and evaluated using objective criteria. Three levels of high achievement were awarded in 2019 — Gold, Silver and Bronze. Other applicants, who meet basic criteria, received a Recognition award.
“This year’s application was more comprehensive than past years as we worked to better align our assessment with the CDC Worksite Health Scorecard so worksites could more effectively become competitive with national trends in workplace wellbeing programming,” explained the Healthy Worksite Award Co-Chair Annie Laurie Cadmus. “Worksites who are recognized this year should be especially proud of their accomplishments knowing they have provided their employees with nationally competitive and well-rounded programming that supports healthy lifestyles.”
The awards ceremony will be held at 12:30 p.m. on January 23, 2020, at the Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center in Columbus, Ohio as part of the Health Action Council 2020 Annual Columbus Symposium. The symposium features national experts on health reform, health care systems and health benefits.
