TO: Local Chambers of Commerce, OCCE Members,
OEDC Members & Trade Associations
FROM: Ronn W. Cupp, Sr. V.P. For Government Affairs
The
State Chamber is once again joining the Oklahoma Academy for State Goals and
the Oklahoma State Department of Health in sponsoring the Oklahoma Certified
Healthy Business and Certified Healthy Restaurant programs. Last year,
more than 200 Oklahoma businesses and restaurants participated in the
program. Many received the designation of Certified Healthy Business,
while some achieved higher certifications of Merit and Excellence. The
Certified Healthy Business program seeks to recognize business, schools and
associations working toward a healthier Oklahoma by providing health and
wellness opportunities for their employees and patrons.
A
healthy workplace is a win-win for Oklahoma businesses. Businesses that
make wellness in the workplace a priority enjoy the benefits of reduced
absenteeism, employee health plan savings, better employee retention, increased
productivity, and a happier, healthier workforce.
For
businesses and restaurants receiving the best scores in their categories, there
will be an awards and recognition luncheon in early 2011.
Please
forward this notice to your members and encourage them to participate in the
program. And, of course, sign-up yourself. Nominations forms are
available online at http://www.okturningpoint.org. Or print
out a hard copy and return it to Neil Hann, Community Development Service,
Oklahoma State Department of Health, 1000 NE 10th St., Oklahoma
City, OK 73117. You may also FAX your completed form to Neil at
405/271-1225.
