Canton organizations recognized for achievements in workplace health
Two Canton area organizations, the Aultman Health Foundation and Buehler’s Fresh Food, are being recognized for their commitment to employee health and well-being by the American Heart Association through its 2021 Workplace Health Achievement Index.
The AHA created the index in 2016 with its CEO Roundtable, a leadership collaborative of more than 45 members from some of America’s largest companies, to apply evidence-based approaches to support employee health.
The index is a free web-based scorecard that looks at organizational best practices and aggregates employee health data to evaluate the overall quality and comprehensiveness of workplace health programs. More than 450 organizations completed the index assessment this year. Scores include 43% receiving gold, 31% receiving silver and 19% receiving bronze. Organizations are provided with free benchmarking reports, which allow them to identify opportunities for advancement.
