Each year, Health Links celebrates Colorado employers committed to workplace health, safety, and well-being. Although we were unable to celebrate in-person, this year’s virtual event aptly 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 pursuing health and safety in their workplaces.

"It is an honor to recognize these organizations and their dedication to workers,” shares Lili Tenney, co-founder and director of Health Links. "This year marks an important, unprecedented time in history for us all. It has challenged organizations more than ever before to prioritize health and safety, not just for their employees, but for families, customers, and communities. We are lucky to have so many Health Links Healthy Workplaces across Colorado leading the way.”
