City of Salisbury named one of the Charlotte area’s healthiest employers

The city of Salisbury has been recognized as a Charlotte area 2024 Healthiest Employer, an awards program created to honor people-first organizations that prioritize the well-being of their employees.
Salisbury boasts 460 employees who are dedicated to providing a safe, livable environment for present and future generations. The city emphasizes honesty, integrity, inclusion and diversity, and actively participates in partnerships with the community and various organizations.
The City of Salisbury runs quarterly and annual campaigns promoting aspects of a healthy lifestyle and invites local banks to present financial information to employees. Leadership encourages community volunteering and recognizes those who participate. The city also extended its Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services for issues such as mental health, financial, family, grief and loss, to 12 free sessions, up from the previous three sessions.
“The program’s accessibility has been invaluable, providing me with the freedom to address health concerns promptly and effectively,” said Michael Hanna, assistant public works director. “The wide variety of wellness challenges have facilitated my goal setting and empowered me on my personal wellness journey. I appreciate the program's commitment to fostering a healthy and well-rounded environment for city staff members.”
Charlotte area companies were recognized for their commitment to workplace wellness and their exceptional health and benefits offerings. Even with many employers returning to the office or to hybrid schedules, they have had to adapt their workforces to reflect the ever-changing views of the modern American office. Increased flexibility, work-life balance, and mental health resources have proven to be common trends among Healthiest Employers applicants.
Each company filled out our annual Healthiest Employers application. The responses are scored Rubric style 1-100 scale. The assessment comprises six categories with yes/no, multiple choice, and short answer questions, with each totaling .25-3 points. A Healthiest Employers Index (HEI) is assigned to each application to help rank among companies of similar sizes. For information on how the applications are scored, visit www.healthiestemployers.com.
The survey is scored and powered by Springbuk, a health intelligence platform that simplifies data-driven decision-making with an intuitive user experience, predictive modeling, and curated action steps.
