HEALTH AND WELLNESS
Excellence Canada: Healthy Workplace Month
VAA participated in the Healthy Workplace Month competition sponsored by Excellence
Canada, an independent not-for-profit organization that is committed to advancing
organizational excellence across Canada .
To demonstrate that fitness and wellness activities can be challenging, fun, achievable
and incorporated into home and work life, VAA provided employees with daily challenges
that included educational components . Employees were awarded points based on how
well they completed each challenge and prizes were awarded at the end of each week .
In addition to the daily challenges, VAA held a boot camp fitness event and a vaccination
clinic for staff .
Excellence Canada recognized VAA’s efforts and ‘showcased’ the project as one
of five Best Practice submissions from organizations with fewer than 100 employees .
VAA’s Healthy Workplace initiative is profiled on the Healthy Workplace Month website:
