Twenty-seven workplaces across Windsor-Essex have been honoured by the Windsor Essex County Health Unit.
They have been presented with the Gord Smith Healthy Workplace Awards for their “extraordinary commitment to the health and well-being of their employees and in some cases, retirees, and family members.”
In order to receive an award, the health unit says the workplace implemented one or more workplace wellness activities related to healthy eating, smoking cessation, physical activity, and mental health. Activities must include awareness raising, education and skill building, environmental supports, and policies; all of which help to sustain healthy practices.
