Burr Oak Tool Inc. Concentrates on Wellness For Employees

In an effort to improve the overall heath and well being of its employees, Burr Oak Tool's management team has decided to exchange the traditional morning break food from cookies and donuts to fresh fruit. In addition to providing a healthier food option, Burr Oak Tool also offered its employees a incentive for joining local fitness centers or community recreation center. The company has offered to pay 50% of the cost of an annual membership. As stated by COO Newell Franks II, "We care about our employees, we want them to feel better as well as perform better." This care and attention to employee wellness has been well received with over 15% of employees taking advantage of the discount and everyone, including visiting customers, enjoying the fresh fruit.
