The Wellness Council of America (WELCOA), with its local affiliate, the Wellness Council of Wisconsin, has presented the Well Workplace Awards in the state of Wisconsin.
Palmyra-based Standard Process Inc. received the pinnacle platinum Well Workplace Award, the highest honor WELCOA presents. Standard Process was one of 13 companies, and the only manufacturing company, nationwide to receive the platinum award level.
“There is an art and science to designing a results-orientated workplace wellness program,” said David Hunnicutt, Ph.D., president of WELCOA. “Standard Process has mastered this art and science by demonstrating its program has advanced employee health, reduced health care costs, and improved productivity and morale.”
Standard Process recently launched Cultivate by Standard Process, a new wellness-based venture that features the use of on-site chiropractors. Read more about Standard Process and Cultivate by Standard Process in BizTimes Milwaukee magazine’s Feb. 3 cover story, “Wellness 2.0.”
Several other southeastern Wisconsin employers were also recognized. Milwaukee-based Core Creative, Inc., and Milwaukee-based The Starr Group both received the small business Well Workplace Award. Waukesha-based R&R Insurance Services and Milwaukee-based Hatco all received the gold Well Workplace Award.
“These employers worked hard to successfully meet the rigorous standards set by the Well Workplace process,” said Jessica Raddemann, executive director, Wellness Council of Wisconsin. “It is our pleasure to recognize them as the newest Wisconsin employers to achieve Well Workplace status.”
The Wellness Council of Wisconsin was founded in 1985 by the Wisconsin business community. Since then, membership has grown from nine founding companies to more than 475 organizations representing more than 435,000 employees. Wisconsin has 96 Well Workplace Award-winning organizations as well as five active Well City Projects, including Well City Milwaukee and Well City Racine, both of which are past award winners.
