Research indicates that not only are “green” or sustainable efforts in the workplace important to customers — they’re important to employees as well. In fact, a company’s sustainability efforts are now a factor in attracting top-notch Gen Y employees.
How do you green your business? There are plenty of resources available to you through the Portage County Can Coalition! This partnership of community organizations promotes and supports healthy eating and active living in Portage County and can help your business with the following initiatives:
- Worksite wellness — partnerships that help you provide sustainable and effective wellness programs for your employees.
- Fit Families Fit Communities — an obesity-reducing initiative that involves individuals, schools, worksites and policy makers to improve access to resources that improve physical fitness and general wellbeing.
- You Can Eat Smart — a toolkit that helps you promote healthier vending machine choices on your worksite. To request a toolkit, send an email to pccan@co.portage.wi.us.
- Resources for your worksite — a partnership with the Portage County Business Council (PCBC) and the National Wellness Institute (NWI) that helps PCBC members gain access to a wealth of wellness resources by becoming NWI Community Members. Call 715.342.2969 for further details.
