WITH A SLEW of programs and offerings available, Cintas Corp. doesn’t just take the health and wellness of its employees seriously, the company makes it a top priority each and every day.
An on-site wellness clinic staffed by a nutrition coach provides convenience and encouragement for Cintas employees to take a path to healthier lifestyles. In addition to walking paths and opportunities for additional exercise breaks throughout the day, ranging from employee-led yoga to Zumba and creative-dance classes, Cintas, which has about 175 employees in Rhode Island, also offers free healthy snacks and drinks, standing desks, wellness fairs, career coaching and mental health programming.
The company’s efforts have not gone unnoticed, judging by the participation rate. An impressive 95% of employees take part in some form of Cintas-sponsored health or wellness offering. In fact, many of the activities – which are now incorporated into meetings and leadership communications – have evolved and become employee-led.
