ACI Named Psychologically Healthy Award Finalist for Second Consecutive Year

Faced with skyrocketing healthcare costs, global competition and economic uncertainty, employers are concerned about attracting and retaining high-quality employees and keeping up morale. Minimizing workplace stress plays a significant role in the employee retention equation as organizations look to optimize their human capital.

San Diego, CA (PRWeb) March 22, 2007 -- ACI Specialty Benefits Corporation, one of the nation's leading employee assistance providers by Business Insurance and Workforce Management Magazines, announced today that it has been named a finalist for the second year in a row for the Psychologically Healthy Workplace Award (PHWA). As part of the California Psychological Association, the PHWA award was created to honor businesses for innovative programs and policies that support a healthy work environment and fosters psychologically well-being among employees.

"We know employees of all industries face many great challenges," said Ann Clark, PhD, the CEO and founder of ACI Specialty Benefits. "Our services are designed to help employees become more productive at work and we practice what we preach."

As part of ACI's benefit package, employees enjoy daily onsite yoga sessions, a generous Paid Time Off program, flexible scheduling and access to all services provided by ACI, including work/life, childcare and eldercare resources, financial and legal assistance, wellness, concierge and many more.

On March 19, 2007, a panel from the California Psychological Association toured ACI's corporate offices to evaluate ACI's employee benefits package, policies and procedures. Through a unique combination of organizational development and peer review, the PHWA recognizes California's most outstanding work environments. This year's finalists represent an impressive array of business excellence, creative design and organizational enhancement that meet the specific needs of the organization and its employees. A steering committee will review onsite evaluations and winners are expected to be announced by April.
