The Zest Wellness Porgramme, created by Coralisle Group Ltd. (CG), has been awarded a
Gold Medal by the Wellness Council of America (WELCOA) for building a workplace culture
that promotes, protects and supports the health and well being of its employees and clients.
CG is the only company outside the United States to have achieved Gold Medal status in
WELCOA’s 2021 Workplace Awards, which were announced in December.
For CG’s Zest Wellness team, the award vindicates its work to build a workplace culture
that supports healthy work-life habits for CG employees and, through outreach
programmes, CG clients and their families.
“It has been amazing to see CG’s wellness journey over the years, from traditional
programmes to its holistic approach today, which emphasises overall well being,’
Jacqueline Perreault, CG’s Corporate Wellness Director, said.
‘This has been made possible by a company-wide commitment to putting people and their
well being at the core of its work.’
CG’s Zest Wellness programme started nearly 20 years ago with glucose and blood
pressure screenings, subsidized gym memberships and walking challenges. Those
programmes branched out in years since to include mindfulness, workplace resilience,
mental wellness and even financial literacy. During the pandemic, Zest Wellness made
sure its work continued to reach people through virtual initiatives that included online
coaching, fitness classes, virtual events, webinars and podcasts.
Beth Frazier, CG’s Chief Operating Officer for Health, said the WELCOA award was ‘very
gratifying for our Zest Wellness team because we’ve been working to embed wellness
into the cultural fabric of the company and, through it, to CG clients and their families.
‘The Gold Award recognizes this work to build and spread healthy, sustainable habits that
strengthen employees, our clients and the community beyond.’
The Wellness Council of America has more than 4,000 corporate members. Its annual
Workplace Awards recognise organizations that have built successful employee wellness
programmes defined by a set of benchmarks. These include assessments of an
organization’s leadership, team dynamics dedicated to building and sustaining wellness
initiatives, data collection, operating plans and evaluation of efforts to ensure continuing
improvement in wellness initiatives.
In 2021, 33 organizations received WELCOA awards, with CG Insurance as one of 11 to
receive gold status.
‘I’m very proud of our Zest Wellness team for their commitment and enthusiasm and for
the obvious benefits their work generates throughout CG,’ CG’s Chief Executive Officer
Naz Farrow said.
‘As a company, we want to be successful in the broadest terms, and that includes
creating the healthiest possible environment for our employees, improving the lives of
our members and effecting positive change in community health through our work. The
Council’s gold medal recognizes this work and underscores our people-first approach to
business.’
