2021 Finalists
July 14, 2021
Each year, the Healthiest Employers® awards program honors the best and brightest in workplace wellness. Over the past year and a half, it has become apparent that when it comes to employees’ overall wellbeing, employers have an incredible opportunity to offer benefits that fit an employee’s unique needs – regardless of where they are in their health journey.
The Healthiest Employers® survey is scored and powered by Springbuk, a health intelligence platform that simplifies data-driven decision-making with an intuitive user experience, predictive modeling, and curated action steps. The assessment is scored on a 1-100 scale, with the Colorado applicants averaging an impressive 74.5 overall score. Since 2009, Healthiest Employers has been the leading recognition program for employee wellness. Today, we currently host award ceremonies in over 45 regions across the country and applicants are not only eligible for local recognition, but also have the chance to earn a spot on the Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America. This national award takes the highest scoring applicants from all locations, company sizes, and industries.

The City of Thornton is a diverse community with a strong commitment to the quality of life and the environment. Over the past year, their programming shifted toward a hybrid workforce and they created new ideas for engaging employees with an unconventional schedule.

The clinic also provides onsite health consultants, registered dietitians, and personal training services for their employees at no charge.
“When our wellness coordinator introduced the idea of a wellness program, my knee-jerk reaction was ‘no way! Wellness is a personal matter!’ Truth be told, I was carrying around a dusty old mental model of the workplace. I needed to reboot my thinking. Of course a healthier workforce is a better workforce – it’s self-evident!” - Kevin Woods, City Manager

The Colorado State Department of Natural Resources conserves the state’s natural resources for the people of the community. Their wellness program utilizes technology and wellness portals to provide employees with a centralized source for their health data, wellness goals, and program resources. The success of the program is determined upon several data sources. For one, absenteeism, employee turnover, and overtime hours by department are analyzed heavily as a way to determine employee satisfaction and prove the value of their programs. Each year, they offer an “Employee Wellness Day,” where employees can take a paid day off to spend time with family, complete annual physicals, or any other wellness-related activity, which has proven to be a great way to encourage employee participation.
