Wellness Pillars
A healthy workplace means more than the absence of illness, injury, and disease.
It is also providing opportunities for employees to build and reinforce healthy behaviours.
At Benefits by Design (BBD) Inc., we are passionate about our employees leading a healthy
and balanced life. All of our wellness initiatives can be captured in these four pillars.
At BBD we enjoy sharing how we prioritize health and wellness in the workplace. Follow our healthy workplace initiatives on our social media channels @bbdcanada and tag us in your adventures using the hashtag #BBDWorkplace.
