DESCRIPTION

Spokane Regional Health District was recently named an award winner at the Global Healthy Workplace Awards (GHWAwards) and Summit, April 9 and 10, held in Shanghai. This distinguishes SRHD as one of the three best workplaces for supporting employee health in the world. The international awards were open to all employers and were divided in three categories—SRHD won in the category of small and medium-sized enterprises and was acknowledged for its sincere commitment to wellness at the worksite, as well as a dedication to the health and safety of all employees. Employers from 33 countries vied for the distinction of being considered among the world’s healthiest workplaces. The two-day, invitation-only summit required that award finalists, including SRHD Health Program Specialist Tiffany Turner, present to an international panel of expert judges an overview of their program, while detailing its comprehensiveness and proving measurable bottom-line results. For distinguishing itself in these areas, in addition to the prestigious Global Healthy Workplace Award, SRHD will also be featured as part of a 12-month global healthy workplace promotional program and is slated to receive a $3,000 cash prize. A free toolkit detailing these research-based approaches is currently available at http://srhd.org/documents/WorksiteWellnessToolkit_FINAL.pdf.
