Whitehead & Associates, an Atlanta-based electrical manufacturer’s representative, is pleased to announce that it was named one of the top 10 healthiest small business employers in the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s 2012 Healthiest Employers Awards. The distinction is given annually to small, medium and large Atlanta-based businesses with well-developed wellness programs.
“We do have both wellness and community service programs that we believe encourage our team to employ healthier habits across the board. We also have attached a new incentive program to this initiative which rewards the achievement of personal health and wellness goals,” said Scott Whitehead, President, and Whitehead & Associates.
The company’s “Know Your Numbers” campaign is a part of the incentive program Mr. Whitehead describes. Each participant is challenged to determine their baseline wellness indicators with their personal physician.
Whitehead explains, “We also include healthy tips and information in our internal communications and frequently invite motivational speakers and fitness experts to our monthly sales meetings. I am really proud of this award because supporting a healthier and more balanced work-life style is something that has always been an important part of our culture, for me.”
