At PITT OHIO, our most significant resource is our people, so we've extended our mission to be People Driven beyond the workplace. In 2007, PITT OHIO initiated a company-wide wellness program in an effort to encourage our employees to Eat Right, Be Fit and Live Well.

The goal of the program is to improve our employees' health and safety. In order to allow each employee the opportunity to perform to his or her greatest potential, we take care of our people. And in turn – our employees take exceptional care of our customers.


December 2024 – Connect with Food

Food traditions play a big part in celebrations. Food connects us to one another, our heritage, and to what makes us unique. When you share your food traditions with others, and learn about theirs, you have an opportunity to get to know each other a little better. Connecting through food allows us to learn what we have in common and to celebrate the things that make us unique. This month’s theme is about sharing and exploring food traditions to help build and strengthen relationships.

Sustainability - Eat Right

Eat Right – Experiment to Discover New Foods   

Connecting with food means being mindful of what you eat and understating its nutritional value. By choosing whole, unprocessed foods like seasonal fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, you can foster a deeper appreciation for the ingredients that nourish your body. Preparing meals at home allows you to explore flavors and cooking techniques, enhancing your relationship with food. For example, you could try growing your own herbs, participate in a local farmers’ market, or experiment with new recipes that focus on fresh ingredients.

 Sustainability - Be Fit

Be Fit – Foster Community Connections

Connecting with food goes hand-in-hand with physical fitness. Understanding how different foods fuel your body can motivate you to make healthier choices that enhance your performance and energy levels. Engaging in activities like meal prepping or cooking with friends can also create a sense of community around healthy eating. Join a cooking class focused on nutritious meals, organize a potluck featuring healthy dishes, or participate in a community garden to grow your own produce.

 Sustainability - Live Well

Live Well – Cultivate Mindful Eating Practices

Living well means cultivating a positive relationship with food that encompasses mindfulness and balance. Being aware of how food affects your mood, and well-being can lead to healthier choices and a more satisfying eating experience. You might consider practicing mindful eating by savoring each bite, keeping a food journal to reflect on your eating habits, or setting aside time to enjoy meals without distractions. Dedicate one evening a week to family dinners, create a ritual around your favorite meal, or explore cultural cuisines to broaden your understanding of food.
