October 24, 2024
Tucker, Ga. – We are excited to announce that the City of Tucker has been awarded one of the Georgia Municipal Association’s (GMA) 2024 Health Wellness Grants. The grant supports the City of Tucker’s commitment to facilitating positive change in the workplace culture and going the extra mile for employees’ health wellness.
GMA is honored to collaborate with the City of Tucker at every step of the health wellness journey. Awards are made statewide to Participating Employers enrolled in one or more medical plans through the Georgia Municipal Employees Benefit Services (GMEBS) Life and Health Insurance Fund.
The Health Wellness Program at GMA helps members embrace a variety of skills, mindsets, and cultures to encourage utmost wellbeing through workplace health wellness initiatives. These initiatives have a demonstrated track record of improving employee wellbeing and quality of life, while enhancing workplace morale, reducing medical claims and maximizing cost impact.
The City of Tucker has designated Human Resources Director Lolita Brown a Health Wellness Champion to coordinate/oversee the program and work in partnership with GMA to facilitate the planning of targeted activities. Brown has expounded on ways the City of Tucker has benefited from implementing workplace health wellness initiatives.
“We are excited to announce that we’ve received GMA’s Health Wellness Grant for the third consecutive year,” Lolita Brown said. “Thanks to this incredible support, we’ve been able to launch four exciting annual programs: the Atlanta 5K Hot Chocolate Run, Mindful Mondays, World Day for Cultural Diversity and the Tucker Thyme Cookbook! Additionally, our Committee Members have developed three fantastic employee recognition programs: Years of Service, Above & Beyond, and Wellness Spotlight. Our newly appointed Ambassadors are ready to roll! They will meet regularly to brainstorm and design team development activities, as well as create an onboarding program for new hires. Let the teamwork begin!”
