CASTO named 2020 Healthy Workplace Platinum Winner

Columbus, OH — CASTO was named as The Healthy Business Council of Ohio’s 2020 Healthy Workplace Platinum Award Winner, the highest achievement. The Healthy Worksite Award recognizes 100 Ohio employers that demonstrate a commitment to employee wellness through comprehensive worksite health promotion and wellness programs. Applicants are scored on the extent their wellness programs facilitate and encourage employee health, enhance productivity and ensure a healthy work environment.

“We are thrilled to have won this Healthy Workplace award for the second consecutive year,” said Lindsey Pavlik, CASTO vice president of human resources. “At CASTO, our associates are our most valuable asset, and we strive to provide resources to help everyone live a healthy lifestyle. Living a healthy lifestyle isn’t just participating in the wellness program, it’s truly part of our culture.”

All applications were reviewed and evaluated using objective criteria. Four levels of high achievement were awarded in 2020 —Bronze, Silver, Gold and, new in 2020, Platinum. The new highest level of achievement, Platinum level, has been added to continue to encourage program growth in employer sites throughout the state.

“We can all agree that 2020 was a beast of a year for employer sites so this year’s application was modified to recognize the extraordinary efforts employers were making to offer employee wellbeing in spite of it all,” explained the Healthy Worksite Award Co-Chair Annie Laurie Cadmus. “Applicants had the option to complete a ‘Pandemic Response’ section of the application to share how they adjusted their program offerings and continued to offer support to employees during a difficult year.”

CASTO along with other award winners will be recognized at the virtual awards ceremony as part of the Health Action Council’s 2021 Virtual Conference Series & Expo on February 4, 2021.
