Employer Spotlight: Cone Health

June 20, 2019 by Candace Martin

The Cone Health System has been a reliable healthcare provider in the Triad for decades. In an effort to foster new nurses in the Cone Health system, human resources uses the Engage Greensboro app as the main component in a retention program called FOMO GSO (Fear of Missing Out Greensboro).  

The five-week program is a collaboration between synerG Young Professionals and Cone Health and is tailored to the cohort which is comprised of young nurses, most of whom are new to Greensboro. Over the course of the program participants explore Greensboro’s best assets (community events, restaurants, outdoor activities and young professional programs) and track their journey through the Engage Greensboro app. The app creates a leaderboard which shows the challenges nurses participated in and the points they receive for those challenges. These challenges include everything from playing trivia at a local brewery to visiting public art installations to attending a Greensboro Swarm game. FOMO GSO also includes professional development challenges such as sharing a nursing tip with other participants. Prizes for most points are awarded halfway through and at the end of the program. 

 This program aids to engage, cultivate and retain young talent at Cone Health and establish lifelong connections to the Greensboro community.

Employer Spotlight: Volvo

June 20, 2019 by Candace Martin

Volvo Group North America employs more than 17,000 people in North America, and operates nine manufacturing facilities in six U.S. states, as well as three plants in Canada and one in Mexico. The company only maintains two offices in the country, including one in Greensboro. 

The Volvo Group introduced the Health for Life program in 2004 as a comprehensive health management program designed for employees. Its purpose is to build a culture that supports and encourages healthy lifestyles, and includes services to meet the needs of individuals across all levels of health. 

Some examples of currently established programs are monthly health fairs, walking and running programs, weight loss support groups, dance lessons, wellness stop-by booths, yoga, meditation, mindfulness practice, massage, biometric and other health screenings, educational programming, wellness challenges, free health coaching, and on-site fitness center. 

Volvo employee Alex Pappas offered the following description of her experience: “The wellness program through Volvo Group is by far the most robust I’ve experienced or heard about at companies in the area.  There is literally something offered for everyone at every level of fitness, and the program overall promotes a healthier lifestyle for all employees. My personal favorite piece is having access to a gym on campus – it’s easy to pop over during lunch and get in a quick workout to break up the day. It’s so nice to work for a company that allows (and encourages!) it’s employees to take a break in the day to be more active and achieve a healthier lifestyle.”  

Since the implementation of Health for Life, Volvo Group has won several awards, including Healthy Facilities and National Health for Life.
