Chevron's golden moment

The initiative recognises organisations that have implemented a workplace health and wellbeing program that addresses risky behaviours such as smoking, unhealthy eating, alcohol and physical inactivity.

Heart Foundation director of cardiovascular health and Healthier Workplace WA chairman Trevor Shilton, who presented the recognition certificate, said the benefits of a dedicated health program were significant and in line with current research.

"Healthy workers are up to 29% more productive, can take up to 21% fewer sick days per year and are more likely to be engaged with their work," he said.

Chevron Australia's general manager of human resources Kaye Butler said the recognition acknowledged the company's commitment to health and wellness, as well as the comprehensive range of programs offered to employees in Perth and onsite.

"As a leading employer, Chevron Australia is committed to supporting initiatives that proactively support a healthy, happy and productive workforce," she said.

"Such initiatives include health and wellness workshops, healthy heart checks, mental wellbeing and employee assistance programs, skin screenings and flu vaccinations, as well as policies addressing healthy catering, smoking and fitness for duty."

The Gold Standard initiative is jointly funded by state and federal governments and presented by the National Heart Foundation (WA), the Cancer Council of WA and the University of Western Australia
