Buckingham, Doolittle & Burroughs, LLC has been awarded the Healthy Ohio Healthy Worksite Silver Award for 2015.

Each year, the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) and the Healthy Ohio Business Council (HOBC) recognize Ohio employers who demonstrate a commitment to employee wellness through comprehensive worksite health promotion and wellness programs. Applicants are scored on the extent their wellness programs facilitate and encourage employee health, enhance productivity and ensure a healthy work environment.

“Buckingham is committed supporting our employees in achieving and maintaining good health,” said Tami Whiteleather, Human Resources Manager at Buckingham. “All Buckingham employees and spouses have access to a free wellness program that includes, but is not limited to, gym reimbursement, electronic activity trackers, smoking cessation assistance, individual meetings with a health coach, flu vaccines, in-house seminars on health-related topics, and more.

Any worksite can apply for the Healthy Ohio Healthy Worksite Award. All applications are reviewed and evaluated by members of HOBC. The three levels of achievement are awarded in Gold, Silver or Bronze.

The award ceremony was held on January 20 at the Hyatt Regency in Columbus, Ohio as part of the Health Action Council 2016 Annual Conference.
