Employees reported fewer headaches, no more eye strain, more energy and greater productivity. One person said there was a calmness to the light. We want our employees to be as healthy as possible.

One of the challenges we have is to be able to read the fine print indoors without any sunlight.

We are beginning to recognize direct links between how we affect the environment -- inside and outside our four walls -- and health.

When the personal use is getting in the way of the employees' productivity on the job, that's where you're going to see the reprimand.

When employees respect each other and get along in the workplace, it's amazing how productivity increases, morale increases and employees are more courteous to customers.

We received a number of entrants. We were delighted to see so many companies focusing energy on their employees. Winning an Employers of Excellence award is a great way for companies to illustrate they value the contributions of their employees and that they are committed to creating and maintaining a high-quality people centric workplace. They can say with confidence that they are an excellent place to work.
