Burgerville earns award for
Vancouver-based Burgerville has been awarded a national Best Practices Honor from the American Psychological Association for the company’s expanded comprehensive health care program and numerous other programs that promote employee health and well-being. “The link between employee health and well-being and organizational performance is clear,” says David Ballard, APA’s assistant executive director for corporate relations and business strategy. Ballard adds, “Burgerville’s quality improvements, strong financial and operating performance and low turnover demonstrate the benefits of investing in a psychologically healthy workplace.” Burgerville president and CEO Jeff Harvey says, “Our commitment to employee health care comes from the knowledge that happier, healthier employees stay long, feel a stronger tie to the company and are more productive in their daily work.” Since 2006, Burgerville pays 95 percent of the cost of health care premiums for employees and their dependents. The plan is provided for employees, after six months with the company, who work an average of at least 20 hours a week.
