CASTO Recognized as Healthy Worksite Award Winner

Columbus, OH — The Healthy Business Council of Ohio (HBCO) has announced that 96 Ohio employers have been recognized for healthy worksite practices in 2022. Among the recipients being honored is CASTO, one of the nation’s leading real estate companies.  

The Healthy Worksite Award recognizes Ohio employers who 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. 

All applications were reviewed and evaluated using objective criteria. Four levels of high achievement were awarded in 2022 —Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum, in addition to an entry-level tier of “recognition”. To celebrate the accomplishments of Ohio worksites and their efforts to pivot and adapt during the pandemic, a Pandemic Response Section was included in this year’s extensive award application.  

Not only was CASTO celebrated for overall workplace wellbeing program by the Healthy Business Council of Ohio, but the Ohio Department of Health also announced that you have been awarded with the Cancer Screening Excellence Award. Only 20 worksites state-wide were honored with this award. 

“Our Media/Award committee will be making some exciting changes to the 2023 award application,” explained Award Committee member, Lindsay Madaras. “As the landscape of worksite well-being continues to evolve, we want to ensure that the application reflects those changes. Moving forward, the award will have a stronger emphasis on how organizations support the holistic well-being of their employees with a greater focus on topics like mental health, financial wellness and more. In addition, the application will better align with organizations that have shifted to a remote and/or hybrid work environment.” 

Details regarding the awards ceremony will be provided to award recipients shortly.
