ERIE achieves
the highest national level award for more than 10 years in a
row
ERIE,
Pa., April 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Erie
Insurance (ERIE) has been
recognized by the American Heart Association (AHA) with a national
Platinum level award for its commitment to employee health and
well-being as measured in the Association's 2022 Workforce
Well-being Scorecard™.
ERIE was among the top 9%
nationally to achieve Platinum level recognition out of the nearly
400 organizations that completed the scorecard in 2022.
ERIE has earned the highest-level
award for more than 10 years in a row.
The American Heart Association developed the Workforce
Well-being Scorecard in collaboration with top scientists and
industry experts to reflect the latest evidence-based science on
workforce health and well-being.
The scorecard evaluates factors such as a company's mental
health policies, organizational well-being strategies to address
burnout, health equity measures, employee financial resources and
more to provide a comprehensive assessment of an employer's culture
of health.
"ERIE's investment in health and well-being programs shows how
much we care about our employees and their families," said
ERIE benefits analyst MaryAnn Marchant, who coordinates several of the
company's health and well-being programs. "It's our culture of
caring that keeps us motivated to listen to our employees, explore
new offerings and always strive to be an excellent and innovative
partner in their health and well-being."
ERIE employees and their
families have access to comprehensive health and wellness programs
that include annual biometric health screenings, health risk
assessments, mental health awareness, lifestyle and condition
management coaching, and programs that encourage exercise, healthy
eating and yearly medical and dental exams.
Research has shown that investing in a culture of health in the
workplace and supporting the mental and physical well-being of
employees is vital to employee engagement and retention,
productivity and successful business outcomes.
"We're pleased that the scorecard data and AHA comparisons
affirm that ERIE's programs are supporting a thriving workforce and
our employees and families are taking steps to improve and maintain
their health and live well," said Jody
Irwin, ERIE's director of benefits. "While we're grateful
for this national recognition, ultimately for ERIE, it's about caring about the people who
are serving our agents and customers."
