The "Healthy Enterprise" award recognizes good practices in terms of health and well-being at work. Four areas of activity are recognized for their positive impact on health: work-life balance (adjusting schedules to family needs, volunteer time); the work environment (ergonomics, lighting, comfort); lifestyle habits (diet, sleep); and management practices (availability and listening, EAP).

" At the CTTÉI, we have a great deal of flexibility with respect to our family needs, our involvement and our personal training. Many decisions are made after consultation through a confidential survey and take into account the needs expressed by employees. In 2020, we also improved, for example, the organization, lighting and user-friendliness of our workplaces," says Phousadavanh.

The commitment to the "Healthy Enterprise" movement is now continuing. "This is not a one-off recognition, but a long-term process. Our goal is to continue to improve as we grow, by supporting our employees in their well-being and personal development in areas of interest," says Claude Maheux-Picard, Executive Director of the CTTÉI.
