OUC is honored to once again be named one of the “Healthiest Employers” in Central Florida, an accolade that affirms a strong company commitment to supporting the wellness, health and safety of employees. The 2022 award marks the fifth consecutive year OUC has earned this recognition, which is sponsored by the Orlando Business Journal.

OUC’s nomination was evaluated in six key categories: Culture and leadership, foundational components, strategic planning, communication and marketing, programming and interventions, and reporting and analytics. The survey was scored and powered by Springbuk, a health data analytics service. OUC improved on its third-place standing in 2021, finishing second this year among employers in the 500-1,499 employee division.

“Being named a Healthiest Employer every year speaks volumes about the importance OUC places on the physical and mental wellness of its employees. Employees’ health and safety are paramount. We are always striving to provide them with excellent healthcare benefits and wellness programs while upholding our No. 1 corporate value of Make Safety First,” said Latisha Thompson, Chief Employee Experience Officer.

Health and wellness benefits that OUC offers include the online therapy service Talk Space, free onsite health screenings, weight loss, nutrition and fitness programs, and financial planning services. OUCwellbeing.com features a wealth of information on activities, provides health tips and includes a page on benefits.

Earlier this year, OUC won the 2022 Best Wellness Employer Gold Certification by Wellness Workdays, a provider of corporate wellness programs in partnership with Harvard Medical School. OUC also has claimed this honor five years in a row.
