Sustainability - Wellness Initiative

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.

September 2023 – Healthy Surroundings

The environments we surround ourselves with can have a profound impact on our healthy choices. When we create a healthy physical environment, such as a well-organized kitchen stocked with nutritious options, it becomes easier to make wholesome food choices. Additionally, being in a supportive social environment, where family, friends, or colleagues prioritize health, can inspire and encourage us to make healthier choices together. An emotionally nurturing environment plays a crucial role in our health decisions. By managing stress, practicing self-care, and fostering a positive relationship with food, we can make mindful choices that prioritize our well-being. Ultimately, the healthy surroundings we cultivate can provide the necessary support and motivation to consistently make positive choices for our health and well-being.

Sustainability - Eat Right

Eat Right – Emotional Environment

Healthy surroundings, emotional environment, and eating healthy food are all crucial aspects of maintaining overall well-being. The journey towards a healthy lifestyle is not just about the food we eat; it also requires emotional support. Having emotional support plays a vital role in our dietary choices and habits. It can come from friends, family or even support groups. Emotional support provides encouragement, motivation, and a sense of belonging, making it easier to adapt and sustain healthy eating habits. When we have someone to share our struggles and successes with, it not only alleviates stress but also helps us stay accountable to our goals.

Be Fit – Physical Environment

Maintaining a healthy surrounding and staying fit go hand in hand when it comes to leading a fulfilling life. A healthy environment encompasses both the physical and mental aspects of our surroundings. It involves having access to clean air, clean water, and green spaces that promote physical activities. Being fit, on the other hand, entails engaging in regular exercise, consuming a balanced diet, and taking care of mental well-being. When we prioritize a healthy surrounding and make fitness a part of our lifestyle, we not only enhance our physical strength and endurance but also boost our mental clarity, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. By creating a harmonious balance between our external and internal environments, we can cultivate a thriving and vibrant life.

Live Well – Social Environment

Social connections play a vital role in the living well and maintaining a fulfilling life. Human beings are inherently social creatures, and our well-being is greatly influenced by the quality of our relationships. Nurturing meaningful connections with family, friends, and communities can enhance our mental, emotional, and physical health. Engaging in social interactions provides opportunities for support, empathy, and a sense of belonging. It allows us to share experiences, celebrate successes, and navigate challenges together. Strong social connections also promote personal growth as they expose us to diverse perspectives, new ideas, and opportunities for learning. Ultimately, investing in our social connections creates a solid foundation for overall well-being and a richer, more enjoyable life.
