Cartus a "Healthy Workplace Employer"
Cartus Corporation, a leading provider of global relocation services, has been named a platinum-level Healthy Workplace Employer by The Business Council of Fairfield County (Connecticut). Winners of the platinum-, gold-, silver- and bronze-level awards were honored by The Business Council on 25 February.
Attendees at the event heard first-hand case studies on the importance of corporate wellness programs from a panel that included Amy Meichner, Cartus Senior Vice President-Human Resources.
Asked to describe Cartus' wellness programs, Meichner said, "Our employees' health and safety are of the utmost importance at Cartus-but it isn't just about keeping our workforce safe. We also want to create opportunities for our employees to get involved in their own health and well-being, build satisfying careers, balance work and life, and grow personally and professionally." To do this, Meichner continued, Cartus has established the following:
- Comprehensive health and safety programs, including the recent opening of a new, state-of-the art fitness center available to all employees
- A wellness center staffed with a physician's assistant and available to service all employees
- Crisis management planning, including preventing workplace violence and planning for infectious disease outbreak
- Wellness and work-life initiatives
According to a news release from The Business Council, "The Healthy Workplace Employer Recognition Program ... applaud[s] the efforts of area employers who understand the competitive advantage of a healthy workforce and who have implemented a diverse range of programs to promote a healthy workplace and assist their employees to live healthier lives."
