“Paychex employees tell us they love the wide range of programs and activities that help them achieve the best health and well-being possible,” said Laurie Zaucha, Paychex vice president of human resources and organizational development. “Whether it’s serving healthy food options at company cafeterias, holding eight-week physical activity challenges, or offering any number of specific wellness programs, we feel very strongly about our responsibility to help our employees live healthy lives.”
The company’s nearly eight-year old Active Health program includes socially-based multi-week wellness challenges; best-in-class tobacco cessation options; partnership with community supported agriculture; blood pressure kiosks; sit/stand workstations; healthy and favorably priced food in cafeterias and vending machines; incentive gift cards that can be used for Amazon.com or donations to Habitat for Humanity; flu shots; voluntary on-site health screenings; an innovative evidence-based weight management program; and measurable positive outcomes related to health risk, workforce engagement, productivity, and satisfaction.
Brian Marcotte, NBGH president and CEO, commented, “We congratulate Paychex for being among an elite group of companies that are making a difference every day in improving the health and overall well-being of their employees and their families. Paychex and its leadership team are to be commended for their commitment to promoting healthy work environments and for their innovation in developing outstanding programs for employees that encourage good health and well-being.”
