LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Forty-three Nebraska companies have received the Governor’s Wellness Award, which honors employers that develop successful workplace wellness programs.
Gov. Pete Ricketts announced the winners Thursday at the Capitol. The companies come from 28 Nebraska communities.
The Governor’s Wellness Award was created eight years ago, and has two categories. The Sower Award recognizes workplaces that have established quality wellness programs, while the Grower Award honors businesses and organizations that demonstrate significant improvement in employee health behaviors.
The awards will be presented to this year’s winners at three separate ceremonies during the months of September and October. Events will be held in Gering on Sept. 22, Kearney on Sept. 24 and Lincoln on Oct. 20.
