Getting Fit and Staying Healthy
Like most companies, Southwire traditionally has used the word healthcare to describe treatment services. Now, we think of it in two, separate parts – health (prevention) and care (treatment).
When our people get sick, we’re going to help them get the best treatment possible, as we always have. But now we’re focusing also on helping people stay healthy, so they will need treatment less often. Wellness is the foundation for healthy lives. It’s also good business. It’s no secret keeping people healthy costs far less than treating their illnesses.
Southwire’s growing commitment to wellness starts with a concentration on fitness. At our Carrollton headquarters, employees have access to a company wellness center that offers state-of-the-art fitness equipment as well as various exercise and recreation programs. Employees participate in sports tournaments and are recognized for their workout achievements. Southwire has similar wellness centers at some, but not yet all, of its manufacturing facilities.
