Earlier this year, SAIF Corporation, the workers’ compensation insurance program for the state of Oregon, earned recognition as the state’s healthiest employer in a survey sponsored by the Portland Business Journal.
The company, which has 950 employees, takes a three-pronged approach to wellness: awareness, education and action. In 2008, SAIF launched its first biometrics screening health assessment program, followed by educational seminars to teach employees what their numbers meant, says Renae Coombs, SAIF’s human resources manager.
