Healthiest Maryland Businesses presents third-party logistics company with its Exemplar Wellness at Work Award

Choptank Transport recently was recognized by Healthiest Maryland Businesses (HMB) with the organization’s Exemplar Wellness at Work Award.

Exemplar is the highest level of recognition the program offers, followed by the Pacesetter and Standout levels of the award.

Winners are chosen by their ability to provide wellness at work practices that promote an active and ongoing culture of healthy habits and exercise. This includes policies, programs, benefits, and environmental supports.

“The wellbeing of our employees is a top priority,” said Pam Hutchinson, vice president of human resources. “We strive to provide top benefits, fun wellness challenges, exercise options, and physical and mental health support. Our bikes on campus, quarter-mile walking path, step challenges, yoga, and nutrition classes work together to offer an optimum work/life balance.”

The benefits of a robust wellness program speak for themselves as it helps reduce absenteeism and lost time at work due to illness, the company said. It also reduces healthcare costs while improving employee performance. Learned practices also make their way into the home setting, helping spread good habits to children and other family members.

The full list of Wellness at Work winners can be found on HMB’s website.
