About the LVBCH Leadership in Wellness Recognition Award

The LVBCH Leadership in Wellness initiative recognizes leaders at member companies for innovation and cultural impact of their organization’s corporate wellness program. One of the objectives of LVBCH is to raise awareness of best practices to improve the health of its member companies at the executive leadership level, including leadership involvement in successful wellness programs.

Leaders have both the right and the responsibility to help shape the culture of wellness at their organization. This is because business outcomes can include lower absenteeism, higher job satisfaction, increased work productivity, higher employee retention, and lower health care costs, but also because it’s the right thing to do.

One way leaders have a positive impact on employee health and wellbeing is by developing strategies for “walking the talk.” When leading by example, wellness programs are better able to change culture from wellness programs are something we participate in to healthy behaviors are “the way we do things around here.” Leaders at all levels have a responsibility for shaping the workplace culture. That responsibility includes fostering a workplace culture that supports employee health and safety.

This application will be used to assess leadership in wellness best practices. Based on the responses received, a representative from your organization may be invited to share your organization’s strategies and innovations related to leadership in corporate wellness programs at the 2018 LVBCH Annual Conference to be held on May 3, 2018 at DeSales University.
