Alcon Laboratories - Alcon's Vitality Program
Overview
With a mission of cultivating a culture of health, Alcon has supported employee wellness since 1993. Beginning with healthy nutrition and fitness activities, Alcon¿s program has since grown and expanded to incorporate a broader set of initiatives coupled with incentives. In 2010, Alcon¿s employees participated in an average of 31 unique wellness activities with 63% completing a health assessment and biometric screenings. In an effort to further grow its program, Alcon has recruited 130 volunteer employee champions that complete an accreditation program, encourage peers to participate, and organize onsite activities such as flu shots and 5K races. Alcon¿s commitment to wellness has led to reductions in health risks and healthcare expenditures, and a positive return on investment (ROI) for its highly engaged employees.
