Hoosier Employers Dubbed ‘Fit-Friendly’
Nearly 60 Hoosier companies are being recognized by the American Heart Association for promoting physical activity and health. The most recent additions to the Fit-Friendly Worksites program moves the 2015 total to more than 140 businesses.
Nationally, more than 2,000 companies throughout the U.S. were recognized during the most recent cycle.
The nonprofit says the program is "a catalyst for positive change in the American workforce." It is broken down into two levels: gold and platinum. Gold is achieved by implementing efforts that encourage physical activity, nutrition and culture enhancements and Platinum adds outcome measurement to the companies’ initiatives.
