The Resource Center again ranked among America’s healthiest workplaces

The Resource Center has again been named one of the healthiest employers in the United States.

For the seventh straight year, The Resource Center was included on the list of the “Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America” by Springbuk, a health analytics company that has conducted the annual Healthiest Employers competition since 2009.  This year The Resource Center is ranked No. 25, a significant improvement from the previous two years, in which TRC placed 55.

The Healthiest Workplaces in America program honors people-first organizations that prioritize the well-being of their employees.  These Healthiest 100 companies were recognized because of their commitment to workplace wellness and their exceptional health and benefits offerings.  They were chosen out of the national pool of applicants from all regions, size categories and industries.  Award applicants were evaluated across six categories: vision, culture/engagement, learning, expertise, metrics, and technology.

The Resource Center was eligible for the Healthiest 100 Workplaces competition because TRC came in first place in the Western New York employer wellness competition.

The key to The Resource Center’s inclusion as one of the country’s healthiest workplaces is its STARS employee wellness program.  STARS assesses each person along five life dimensions: basic needs, physical health, mental wellness, family/social relationships, and employment issues.  STARS participants meet with a certified health coach to develop and monitor a personalized wellness plan.  STARS members receive discounts on their health care costs and wellness activities, and they can earn incentive points they may redeem for prizes.  Participation in the STARS program is voluntary.  Many of the wellness activities are open to all TRC employees, not just those who are enrolled in STARS.

We congratulate our STARS team – Manager Donna Trusso and Wellness Coaches Heather Courtney and Jon DeSantis – for their continued excellent operation of the program.
