Fifth Third Bank Earns Gold Recognition
from American Health Association.
The American Heart Association, a global force for longer,
healthier lives, created the Index with its CEO Roundtable, a
leadership collaborative of more than 45 members from some of
America’s largest companies who are committed to applying
evidence-based approaches to improve their employees’ overall
health. The Index is a web-based scorecard that looks at
organizational best practices and aggregates employee health data
to evaluate the overall quality and comprehensiveness of workplace
health programs. Studies show that worksites with a culture of
health with comprehensive, evidence-based policies and programs,
and senior leadership support are more likely to have engaged
employees and a healthier, more productive workforce.
Fifth Third Executive Vice President Bob Shaffer said, “Our
employees’ health and financial wellness is a key priority at Fifth
Third. We are committed to developing and delivering innovative
programs that support their well-being and enable them to live
their best lives. We are proud of this recognition from the
American Heart Association, especially our evolution from bronze
recognition in 2016 to gold recognition over the past two
years.”
A unique feature of the Index is that it calculates an average
heart health score for employees of participating companies that
securely submit aggregate health data through Life’s Simple 7®, the
American Heart Association’s definition of ideal cardiovascular
health based on seven risk factors. Life’s Simple 7® includes
smoking status, physical activity, weight, diet, blood glucose,
cholesterol and blood pressure. Companies receive benchmarking
reports, which allow them to identify potential areas of
improvement so that they can advance their annual performance and
recognition.
