Monday, February 25th, 2019
SCANA is recognized by Working Well for achieving Platinum status through our Strategy for Wellbeing online platform. To receive Platinum recognition, organizations must demonstrate they have met various best practice standards within one of the nine dimensions of workplace wellbeing: Wellness Culture, Risk Assessment & Outreach, Nutrition & Food Environment, Physical Activity, Tobacco Free, Emotional & Mental Wellbeing, Financial Wellbeing, Incentives & Communications, and Evaluation. Platinum recipients are creating a sustainable culture of wellbeing by using effective, evidence-based best practices to create healthy worksites.
SCANA has achieved Platinum status in the following dimensions:
Emotional & Mental Wellbeing: for providing resources and benefits to promote positive work-life balance, stress management, employee morale and optimal emotional and mental wellbeing.
Financial Wellbeing: for providing resources, planning tools and benefits to help employees achieve their financial goals.
Research demonstrates that employees performing at optimal health can have a major impact on an employer’s bottom line by contributing to lower healthcare costs, less absenteeism, higher productivity and improved morale. Healthy employees perform better and are more productive and engaged than their peers. If you have any questions about achieving Platinum status, contact Emily O’Sullivan at eosullivan@scha.org.
