USANA was in the news again this week, but not for its ongoing battles between owners and shareholders and taking the company private….this time they were receiving several honors and awards for promoting a healthy workplace and supporting their employees in living a happier, healthier life.
Utah Governor John Huntsman presented USANA with a Work/Life award at a luncheon last week as the company was recognized for creating an exceptional workplace and helping address the work and life needs of their employees.
USANA was one of 21 companies honored at the 10th annual awards ceremony.
USANA has been recognized several times for listening to and meeting the needs of their employees. Their wellness program has been ranked as one of the best in the country. USANA has a top notch wellness program that includes a fully equipped in-house gym, full-time personal trainer, extensive annual health fair and free nutritional products for employees.
The nutrition company has also put a focus on the environment by making their corporate headquarter “green” by installing solar panels and rewarding its employees for carpooling and driving hybrid and low emission cars.
USANA was also recognized by the Utah Dept of Health for its smoking cessation program and for supporting and encouraging their employees to quit smoking. The company provides support to its employees as well as giving rewards for success, from gift cards to cash.
The Dept of Health held a contest recently to honor employers and employees for their efforts in quitting smoking. A USANA employee, Brad Pace, submitted an essay touting the health conscious company for its efforts in helping employees, and that essay won the contest. Pace leads the smoking cessation program for USANA’s employees.
