In addition, Gunster was among an elite group selected to receive AHA’s Worksite Innovation Award.
Gunster’s wellness initiatives in 2012 included the successful GlobalFit’s Destination: You, a year-long walking program in which a tracker worn on the shoes automatically logs and downloads a variety of physical activity throughout the year. Employee incentives included cash prizes, paid time off and discounts off health insurance premiums in 2013.
