(Jacksonville, Fla., June 28, 2012) – Jacksonville-based Crowley Maritime Corporation was recently recognized by the American Heart Association (AHA) and the First Coast Worksite Wellness Council (FCWWC) for being a year-round leader in implementing and promoting health initiatives to employees.

The AHA’s Start! Fit-Friendly Companies program named Crowley a 2012 Gold Level recipient and the FCWWC recognized Crowley with a 2012 Silver Level Healthiest Companies award.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by these organizations,” said Bryan Lee, Crowley vice president of human resources. “These awards are a true testament of our commitment to our employees and the efforts we make to encourage and promote healthy lifestyles in and out of the workplace.”

Crowley has also provided other resources for employees, including gym membership subsidies, weight-loss program reimbursements and wellness tips through newsletters and the company’s wellness-dedicated website.

“Our employees are a major part of the company’s success,” Lee said. “We strongly believe that we, as a company, owe it to our employees to provide resources and to serve as a motivator for leading healthy lives.”

This is the second time Crowley has won a Gold Level award from the AHA, and the third consecutive year that it’s received a Silver Level award from the FCWWC.
