USANA Accolades: Starting the Year Strong

Am I the only one baffled by the fact that we are only a couple days from being a fourth of the way through 2014? Didn’t we JUST celebrate Christmas?

Seriously, this year started off with a bang and it isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. Hopefully that goes the same for this year’s accolade count as well.

Over the past three months, USANA has received 23 accolades that recognize its healthy work environment, award-winning USANA Studios team and the fine people who make up its customer service departments, in both its corporate and Australian offices.

Here’s a breakdown of what those awards are and why you should care about them.

Health is Key

At the beginning of the year, our bomb.com Wellness Coordinator, Lauren Reichman notified me that we were recipients of the Fit Friendly Worksites award by the American Heart Association. Why this shouldn’t come as a surprise, this award is given to employers who go above and beyond when it comes to their employees’ health, and we earned platinum status.

So thanks to Lauren for implementing some fantastic new wellness classes and competitions in USANA and USANA CEO Dave Wentz for allowing USANA’s employees to utilize these courses during the work day! #yayhealth
