March 27, 2008
Toronto Shepell·fgi Senior Vice President of Business Development and Marketing, Karen Seward, has been nominated for a Vision Award in Service Provider Excellence. The Vision Awards publicly recognize outstanding contributions and accomplishments made by professionals in the field of Human Resources in the National Capital Region, Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec.
"Karens nomination confirms that we really are making a difference to the weight organizations are placing on employee health and wellness as part of their overall business strategy," said Rod Phillips, President and CEO of Shepell·fgi.
Established jointly by Ray & Berndtson and the Ottawa Human Resources Professionals Association in 1999, the Vision Awards is celebrating its 8th year as one of the premiere Human Resources events in Canada.
Karens nomination, supported by Canada Post and SCO Health Services, commends her understanding of employee health as a business issue and it is this very approach that has allowed Shepell·fgi to shift the focus to health and productivity as interrelated factors. Shepell·fgi helps companies develop and implement programs to build a well workplace and maintain wellness through all aspects of the employees environment.
"Its this approach that really makes our company stand out," adds Phillips. "Its encouraging to see employers increasingly recognizing the value of human capital and actively taking action to promote health and well-being. Employers definitely realize a return on this investment, as their workforce is more productive, and disability costs are better contained."
"Its a team achievement, it really is," says Karen. "I feel honoured to be able to work with so many people who are deeply committed to developing new and innovative health and productivity solutions. Its with them that I share this nomination. Each employee is critical to our success, and we would not have achieved this today if it werent for their hard work and dedication."
