RTI recognized by the American Heart Association for commitments to workforce well-being

Organizations were evaluated on mental health policies, strategies to address burnout, health equity measures and more

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. — The American Heart Association has awarded RTI International, a nonprofit research institute, with a national silver level recognition for its commitments to employee health and well-being as measured in the 2022 Workforce Well-being Scorecard™.

The American Heart Association has defined best practices that employers can use to build a culture of health and well-being for their workforce. The Workforce Well-being Scorecard recognition program acknowledges efforts to implement quality workforce health and well-being best practices.

The scorecard evaluates factors such as mental health policies, organizational well-being strategies to address burnout, health equity measures, employee financial resources and more to provide a comprehensive assessment of an organization’s culture of health. In 2022, 381 organizations completed the scorecard, and all organizations were recognized with an achievement level of platinum (9%), gold (45%), silver (32%), bronze (9%) or completer (5%).

“We are honored to be recognized by the American Heart Association for our commitment to employee health and well-being and our continued efforts to promote equity,” said RTI wellness program manager Noelle Ybarra. “I’m proud to say that RTI is dedicated to creating a culture that is safe, supportive and provides opportunities for everyone to reach their full potential — in and out of the workplace.”

The Workforce Well-being Scorecard is a key component of the Association’s Well-being Works Better™ platform, which helps business leaders unleash the power of a healthy, happy workforce. Distinct from traditional wellness programs, Well-being Works Better™ empowers employers to champion the mental and physical health of their employees and provides actionable guidance to meet the unique needs of their organization.
