The Worksite Health Awards are an opportunity for employers to learn from best practices while showcasing the advances being made every day to improve the health and well-being of Rhode Islanders at work. In this year’s awards, companies were once again recognized for their support of employees’ physical and emotional well-being during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. With so many still working remotely, there continues to be a heightened priority on connecting with employees through new and innovative wellness offerings.
The focus of this program is to maintain a healthy workforce and promote life-long health initiatives.
2021 marks the 5th consecutive year Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 51 has received a Worksite Health Award.
