ASTRONOVA INC. TAKES the wellness of its employees seriously.
In the past year, the data-visualization technology provider has held 25 events – both on-site and off-site – totaling more than 30 hours of wellness activities, ranging from financial education to physical activities.
That array of “whole wellness” programming has an added benefit: Team members from different departments, including salespeople, executives, administrative staff and engineers are able to develop relationships and form social groups because of participating in activities in which they share a common interest.
From on-site yoga classes to the tobacco-cessation group, the running club to the emergency-response team, employees of varying backgrounds, ages and interests come together with the common purpose of working as a team to support whole wellness.
This social approach has been embraced by employees. In fact, the dedication to wellness reaches beyond the walls of the West Warwick-based company to include family members who are encouraged to participate.
