Two clients were recognized in Columbus Business First’s inaugural Healthiest Employers of Central Ohio Awards Program. Award recipients offer health and wellness initiatives that promote a culture of staying active, eating right, managing stress and offering preventative disease screenings.

Hondros College was honored among the medium employers (101 to 500 employees) and Portfolio Creative was recognized among the small employers (two to 100 employees).

Employees of the companies who applied to participate in the awards program completed a health assessment survey and the company completed a questionnaire that covered six key areas of workplace wellness: culture and leadership; commitment, foundational components; strategic planning; communications and marketing; programming and interventions; and reporting and analysis.

All of the award recipients were featured in a supplement to the March 29 Business First.
