Healthiest Employers, a leading U.S. awards program for people-centric companies, included Louisville Metro Government on its annual list of the Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America.

Ranking No. 42 on the list, Louisville Metro joins several other U.S. municipalities on the list, including The City of Cincinnati, City of Charlotte, City of Tucson and others, as well as private companies and non-profits.

Healthiest Employers worked with its sister organization Springbuk, a leading health data analytics software company, on the data analysis.

Each company on the list participated in a regional Healthiest Employers application process that includes a six-category assessment, created with the help of a national, non-biased group of representatives from the academic, medical, wellness, and business communities.

The six assessment categories are:

• Culture and Leadership Commitment

• Foundational Components

• Strategic Planning

• Communications and Marketing

• Programming and Interventions

• Reporting and Analytics

"While we aim to highlight the healthiest companies in the country, we also work to provide resources, webinars, blog posts, and consultative reports for members of the human resources and employee benefits industry," said Haley Elmore, Healthiest Employers Program Coordinator. "This award speaks volumes to employers' investments in employee health beyond traditional physical wellness benefits."
