Two AREA Companies Forge a Healthy Relationship

McKay-Cocker Construction and Employer’s Edge partner for employee wellness

Since 2006, McKay-Cocker Construction has partnered with Employer’s Edge to create a multi-faceted wellness program which is designed based upon the expressed needs and desires of the employee base. Through group interaction, personal wellness profiles, health coaching, and group wellness initiatives, Employer’s Edge and the wellness committee will determine which wellness programs will be best suited for McKay-Cocker employees.

Employer’s Edge was founded in 2003 and uses a comprehensive approach to lifestyle management that is targeted to the specific needs of its clients. In addition to on-site health and wellness instruction, the company also provides nutritional, social, and stress management programs designed to improve the quality of life of its clientele.

“We are delighted to work with Employer’s Edge. We have been working with Employer’s Edge since 2006 and continue to enjoy the program that meets the needs of our employees”, CEO, Paul Cocker explained. “We believe the benefits of a healthy, happy workforce are important for the company. We’re also committed to ensuring that the staff gets the most out of their lives once the work day is done.”

“It’s not just about living longer, or living healthier – it’s about living better and we’re committed, as a company, to helping our employees do just that.”

“We really believe in providing a multi-faceted approach to health management,” Employer’s Edge’s president and founder Garth Jansen explained. “It’s not enough to just implement the programs – we believe in following up, supporting the employees, and helping them reach their lifestyle management goals, whether that’s to get healthier, eat better, exercise more, or learn how to reduce stress.”

The program, for which participation is completely voluntary for the employees, includes staff information sessions, completion of an annual needs and interest assessments, and one-on-one health coaching. From there Employer’s Edge continually determines what programs will be best for the company and work with McKay-Cocker and the wellness committee to implement those changes.
