Employees at Shiroki North America recently participated in a 12 week worksite wellness challenge with the DeKalb County Health Department. During the 12 week challenge, employees learned about healthy eating, managing stress and learning how to enjoy their food, while eating less. Twenty-eight employees participated in this challenge and lost over 130 pounds as a group, with the top male and female receiving prizes for their efforts.

By taking on this challenge, Shiroki North America is encouraging their employees to live healthy and happy lives. This is the first year Shiroki has partnered with the DeKalb County Health Department to sponsor a worksite wellness challenge. DCHD Staff would like to congratulate everyone who participated.

If you have questions about the worksite wellness program or are interested in hosting your own, call the DeKalb County Health Department at 615-597-7599.
