The annual list, published by workforce health firm Springbuk, this year included local employers Lane County, the Eugene Water and Electric Board and PeaceHealth.

Local government, health providers and utilities recently were recognized as some of the country's healthiest workplaces.

Theannual Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America list, published by workforce health firm Springbuk, this year included employers such as Lane County, the Eugene Water and Electric Board and PeaceHealth. They were amongseveral other Oregon employers on the list.

EWEB was No. 4 on the list. PeaceHealth, with hospitals in three states, was No. 52. Lane County was No. 100 on the list.

EWEB has always taken a holisticapproach in terms of health, safety and wellness," spokesperson Joe Harwood said. "Sure, that benefits the workforce. But it also helps us better serve the community in multiple ways."

Harwood said a subsidy for gym memberships, on-site physical therapy and lifestyle programs focused on issues such as weight loss and stress management are important because healthier, more engaged employees are less likely to miss work, and becausecheaper insurance rates mean lower cost for electricity customers.

Physical and psychological safety, health and wellness, with an emphasis on being proactive, are core values that we demonstrate every day. Everyone in the organization is expected to reinforce these values, EWEB General Manager Frank Lawson said in a news release.

TheHealthiest 100list "celebrates companies who proactively invest in the health and wellbeing of their employees," according to the release. Employers file an online assessment and are given a 1-100 score on Springbuk's Healthiest Employers Index, the company said.

Six essential values link those 100 businesses, Springbuk said: vision, culture, learning, expertise, metrics and technology.

"This really hasn't been an accident," Lane County Human Resources Director Alana Holmes said of being included on the list. "Our purpose at Lane County is to improve lives, and that applies to both our community members and our employees."

After being recognized earlier this year as The Portland Business Journal'sthird healthiest large employer in Oregon, Holmes said the latest national recognition is proving the worth of programs the county has enacted to maintain fit, happy and productive workers.

Holmes pointed to diet and exercise programs, a self-funded employee health plan and a wellness center used by 70% of county employees as examples of forward momentum. But she congratulated the employees themselves as the drivers behind improvement.

"Without them this progress would not have happened," Holmes said.

PeaceHealth made the list for the second year in a row. The health care provider was acknowledged for its employee wellness programs active in its Oregon, Alaska and Washington facilities.

In a news release, PeaceHealth said that program "takes a holistic approach by focusing on short-term and long-term financial health, nutrition, stress management and physical fitness of its employees."

By encouraging whole-person health, we are excited to extend our culture of wellness to our patients and families and improve the health of the communities we serve, Jim Larrick, system vice president of human resource operations and systems, said in a news release.
