Every year, Healthiest Employers® names the Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America award, made up of all regional applicants of various sizes, locations, and industries. For the ninth year in a row, The Starr Group was among those honored.
And it’s no wonder! The Starr Group has an award-winning Health & Well-being program. The robust program specifically designed to reflect the needs of its diverse employee pool includes Salad Wednesdays with healthy food choices, Lunch & Learns with guest speakers from the Health Community, volunteer opportunities, and fun wellness challenges and activities such as the Office Olympics. The agency has enjoyed 100% employee participation for the past 14 years. Our emphasis on wellness draws fresh talent to our offices and retains top talent as well.
All companies on the Healthiest Employers list participated in the application process. The categories, scoring, and benchmarking were formed with the help of a national, non-biased group of representatives from the academic, medical, wellness, and business communities.
The Healthiest Employers assessment is scored Rubric style on a 1-100 scale. The assessment comprises six categories of yes/no, multiple choice, and short answer questions, with each question totaling .25-3 points. The six categories are as follows:
- Culture and Leadership Commitment
- Foundational Components
- Strategic Planning
- Communications and Marketing
- Programming and Interventions
- Reporting and Analytics
To qualify for the national award, applicants also are scored based on an additional section called “the Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America”, which scores the applicant essays and asks additional questions related to chronic conditions and workplace health.
