PHOENIX, May 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – GlobalTranz Enterprises, LLC., A leading technology-enabled third-party logistics solution provider providing award-winning technology, personalized customer service, and comprehensive multimodal carrier relationships, announced today that the Phoenix Business Journal honored the company with the Annual Valley’s Healthiest Employers Award 2021. GlobalTranz took third place in the medium-sized company category, which includes companies with 500 to 1,499 employees.
The Valley’s Healthiest Employers Award honors companies that are committed to improving the health of their employees. The Phoenix Business Journal is Arizona’s leading business publication, delivering local Phoenix news and tools to help businesses grow, connect, and hire businesses.
To protect the health and safety of GlobalTranz’s employees, the company switched to a fully remote workforce in early 2020. With the move to remote working, GlobalTranz’s leadership wanted to promote a healthy physical and virtual work environment for employees by doubling their efforts to keep the spotlight on the importance of self-care during stressful times.
GlobalTranz’s Family Health Clinic has partnered with Fitness and Wellness Director Rhonda Bompensa Zimmerman to implement a wellbeing educational program designed to find ways to stay healthy physically, emotionally, socially, and remotely . Strategies for maintaining employee wellbeing included promoting healthy communication and using stress management techniques such as journaling, walking, exercise challenges, heart health, self-care practices, goal setting, and more.
“Working from home presents all employees with a number of challenges, ranging from lack of exercise to difficulty being present,” says Zimmerman. “The GlobalTranz team wanted to proactively give employees the tools to take control of their wellbeing as they master constant changes and challenges throughout 2020 and beyond.”
Other health-related benefits of the GlobalTranz program include access to diet planning, virtual exercise programs, monthly fitness and wellness challenges, as well as virtual guided meditation classes and individual zoom-based personal health consultations. To accompany these benefits, GlobalTranz is working diligently to help all employees get their COVID-19 vaccinations by providing additional PTOs and finding vaccination centers that are easily accessible to employees.
“At GlobalTranz, our employees, and therefore their families, are our most important asset,” said Bob Farrell, Chairman and CEO of GlobalTranz. “Most companies offer health care and related benefits, but that’s only part of what a great place to work. At GlobalTranz we are constantly working to create more awareness and access to programs that help our teams to be as healthy as possible. “
