I've blogged before about many of the wellness programs Pinnacol offers its employees and its nice for these efforts to be recognized. The reality is that many U.S. employees work in relatively sedentary environments and there are real challenges to be overcome to help them make smart and informed decisions about maintaining and improving their health while at work. Paige is certainly a role model as she works at a stand-up work station during the day and then participates in many of the after-hour wellness classes we offer. I wish I had her energy!
Carole Sumption, Vice President of Corporate Resources and
executive sponsor of Pinnacol’s Everyday Wellness program, accepted the award
on behalf of the company. She noted that four years ago, Pinnacol transitioned
from having a variety of “activities’’ to what is now a comprehensive and
customized Everyday Wellness program.
The Denver Business Journal has published the ranking of employers on-line, but the real winners are all the employees who work for these great companies. Congratulations to all the companies, and to all their employees keep up the good work!
