LiveWell Greenville Presents 2013 Healthy Workplace Awards

At the first annual LiveWell Healthy Workplace Expo and Awards Luncheon on April 25, LiveWell Greenville presented Healthy Workplace Awards to ten companies that are leaders in supporting employee health and cultivating healthier work environments.  Companies were recognized for having a comprehensive wellness strategy that includes upper management support, a committee that monitors effectiveness, screenings that identify areas for improvement and a variety of initiatives that promote health and well-being.  “These companies, representing large, mid-size and small businesses, are models for others in our community,” said Richard Osborne, the LiveWell At Work Consultant. “They have invested time and resources that will yield results in increased productivity, improved employee morale and potential reduction in health care costs.” Click here for the list of award winners.
