Construction software developer Foundation Software and sister company Payroll4Construction.com, a construction-specific payroll service, have been recognized by the Healthy Business Council of Ohio for their commitment to healthy worksite practices. Foundation and Payroll4Construction were jointly honored with a silver-level Healthy Worksite Award, one of only six companies in the “Small Business” category statewide to be recognized at this level. The award evaluates applicants on objective criteria like wellness program offerings and incentivizing healthy choices.

Both companies heavily emphasize creating a healthy and fun corporate atmosphere. They currently offer an extensive wellness program at no cost to employees, including free gym access, onsite personal training and fitness classes, monthly wellness events, company-subsidized membership in healthy initiatives like WW (formerly Weight Watchers) and much more.

For Foundation’s Wellness Director, Matt Ode, the wellness program is vital to the companies’ energy and atmosphere. “Our mission will always be to ensure our employees are as healthy as possible in all aspects of wellness — physical, financial, nutritional and social,” said Ode. “We are constantly working to provide our employees with more and improved programs to help them live their best lives. Not only do these programs help increase productivity and engagement, but we have also seen many amazing lifestyle changes in our employees.”

According to Fred Ode, CEO/Chairman of both companies, the current wellness offerings are just the beginning. “We want every employee to be happy, healthy and fulfilled,” said Ode, “and we’ll keep working to make our company better for our employees each year.”

Healthy Worksite Awards were distributed at the annual Health Action Council symposium at the Nationwide Convention Center in Columbus on January 24.
