“Workplaces can have a significant impact on employee health, especially when you consider that most people spend over half of their waking hours on the job,” says Jessie Johal, Manager of Healthy Communities Schools & Workplaces program. “Workplace wellness programs and policies that businesses and organizations put in place recognize that the health and well-being of their employees is paramount and contribute to the health of the community as a whole.”
This was the 7th annual awards celebration and was held during National Healthy Workplace Month. This awareness month is dedicated to encouraging Canadian organizations to promote the benefits of workplace health.
Congratulations to all 2016 Healthy Workplace Award Recipients!
