Worksite Wellness
Worksite wellness programs provide the access, opportunity, support, and encouragement needed for employees to actively participate in improving their health.
FFLAG utilizes the American Heart Association (AHA) Workforce Well-being Scorecard as the application.
In 2019, FFLAG transitioned to the American Heart Association’s (AHA) Workforce Well-being Scorecard application. Benefits of the transition include: Worksites will receive both local and national recognition by AHA. The application can be accessed and edited year-round, and worksites receive technical assistance from both FFLAG and AHA.
The AHA updated its application is available NOW and due October 31, 2023.
The FFLAG Worksite Wellness Program is a free, voluntary certification designed to recognize and honor worksites that are committed to supporting healthy choices in physical activity, healthy eating, and tobacco prevention through policies, programs, and environmental changes within their organization. This award celebrates worksites that place a high value on employee health and overall well-being while taking steps to help them plan for cost-effective future strategies to create a healthier workforce.
The AHA’s application link was distributed to 200 businesses in Grant County.
In 2022, four businesses completed the AHA application and received national recognition from AHA for their efforts. 2-Bronze, 2 - Silver (these two worksites moved up from their previous bronze level in 2020). At the local FFLAG recognition level: all 4 worksites received Platinum including the City of Williamstown, NKY Health Department, St. Elizabeth Healthcare, and NKU Grant County Campus.
Grant County worksites will be recognized at the Grant County Chamber breakfast in July of each year for their accomplishments and status.
