Presented by The Business Council’s Wellness Roundtable, the program applauds area employers that understand the competitive advantage of a healthy workforce and have implemented a diverse range of programs to promote a healthy workplace and assist their employees to live healthier lives. HARMAN was recognized in the Platinum category – the highest category of distinction – and was selected to present a case study on its health and wellness achievements at the Healthy Workplace Employer Recognition Program event on February 13 at the Sheraton Stamford Hotel.

“At HARMAN, we know that our people are our greatest competitive advantage, and we understand that supporting healthy lifestyles among our employees through a variety of programs ultimately benefits all HARMAN stakeholders,” said John Stacey, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer of HARMAN. “We appreciate this positive recognition for our health and wellness offerings and we look forward to continuing to invest in programs to maintain a competitive and compelling workplace at the forefront of leading companies today.”

HARMAN offers a multifaceted approach to health and wellness that emphasizes strong communications to help employees and their spouses make informed decisions about healthcare and benefits programs.

HARMAN also offers financial incentives that allow employees and spouses to reduce deductibles and insurance costs by completing various wellness actions, provides access to health and wellness professionals who can provide coaching and counsel, and tasks local Wellness Site Champions with driving employee engagement with wellness initiatives at the local level.
