Indiana Furniture Employees concluded their year-long Wellness Program with
the collection of nearly 1,000 pieces of non-perishable food items for the
Dubois County Food Bank. “Employees receive points for various wellness related
events throughout the year; one of those events consisted of bringing in a
healthy dish/recipe to share with other employees. In lieu of the share the
healthy recipe event, we felt the food used in employee recipes would better
serve those less fortunate in our communities.” said Nancy Wilson, Vice
President of Human Resources and Safety. Employees of Indiana Furniture’s five
manufacturing plants and office donated items to be consolidated and passed on
to the Food Bank.
“Indiana Furniture strives to put their employees first and our year long
wellness program is an example. It provides guidance and a little support to
help stay on track with a healthier lifestyle,” Commented Rich Slayton,
President and CEO. “Making better choices is easier with a support system and
some incentive. The program encourages better eating habits, exercise and
preventive health screenings. The food collection rather than the healthy recipe
sharing event was simply a case of realizing our employees are willing to share
with their coworkers so why not share with others in the community that could
use the help.”
