Worksite Wellness

Family-friendly worksite policies make it easier to hire and keep employees. Women with children are the fastest-growing segment of the workforce. Employees who are breastfeeding need appropriate space and adequate time to support their breastfeeding.

As part of the 3-4-50 movement, worksites are taking simple steps to make a big impact on the health of their communities. Your worksite can sign on, and commit at the bronze, silver or gold level. 

Trudell Consulting Engineers in Williston has been growing their culture of wellness steadily for many years. Our work together began in 2013 when Trudell attended a workshop designed to guide companies through a newly revised Worksite Wellness Awards application. Since that time, they’ve expanded their worksite wellness offerings and achieved the highest standard of worksite wellness recognized by the Governor’s Council on Physical Activity and Sports.

The employees at Trudell have a company vegetable garden, have a private, attractive space for employees choosing to breastfeed, and they participate in many physical activities like hiking, cruising on segways and taking an exhilarating zip-line through the forest canopy. This company is a great example of the culture of wellness that can be created through an effective partnership with our office and an engaged, supportive management.
