Health Links® 2023 Annual Event: Celebrating Total Worker Health®

Each year, Health Links celebrates Colorado employers committed to workplace health, safety, and well-being. This year’s event, Celebrating Total Worker Health® honored the award winners and finalists for their achievements in the workplace while providing attendees the opportunity to network and gain inspiration from other employers.

Attendees participated in exclusive communications and DE&I workshops, worked with a diverse team of Total Worker Health (TWH) champions to creatively address common workplace issues, and an interactive discussion of TWH in action with leaders committed to improving employee health, safety, and well-being.

 “Organizations in our Healthy Workplace Network continue to be Total Worker Health leaders. This year’s Healthy Workplace Award finalists and winners show tremendous dedication and commitment to workplace health, safety and well-being," said Health Links senior manager of programs and partnerships, David Shapiro. "Join us in celebrating our 2023 Award winners as they demonstrate the cornerstone practices of Total Worker Health.”

This year's event featured a volunteer activity with Project Helping. Project Helping is a non-profit organization based in Centennial, Colorado, that believes that volunteering improves mental wellness. Their goal is make volunteering easy so individuals can access this meaningful self-care tool. Attendees helped assemble heat relief kits for those experiencing homelessness that they could distribute or Project Helping would donate to its partners.

The day of the annual celebration, August 24, 2023, was officially proclaimed Colorado's Day of Total Worker Health by Governor Jared Polis.
