The City of Olathe has been recognized as a winner of the 2015 Healthiest Employers, an awards program presented by the Kansas City Business Journal. Select employers from Kansas City were named winners at the awards program, held on Feb. 6. These winning organizations were honored for their commitment to employee health, with exceptional corporate wellness programming.
Award applicants were evaluated across six key categories: Culture and Leadership, Foundational Components, Strategic Planning, Communication and Marketing, Programming and Interventions, and Reporting and Analysis.

“The City’s wellness program goal is to provide employees with resources to put their health first, from the moment of hire to the point of retire,” said Jana Goolsby, wellbeing coordinator.

To achieve this goal, the City created customized wellness programs, including an on-site wellness and acute-care clinic, post-offer employment testing, outcomes-based wellness strategy, biometric screenings, on-site fitness classes, and job-specific fitness programs to address safety and wellness concerns directly related to job demands.
