Certified by the Digital Wellness Institute in collaboration with Fast Company Magazine
Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice Company is excited to announce it has been recognized as a Digitally Balanced Workplace by Digital Wellness Institute and Fast Company. The prestigious recognition highlights the juice company’s commitment to prioritizing employee well-being and fostering a healthy relationship with technology in the workplace.
As part of the certification process, Natalies surveyed its team members, identifying areas of strength in the company as well as areas of weakness that management is setting about to actively mitigate. The survey allowed team members to candidly share their views about Natalie’s ongoing initiative for becoming an even more effective Digitally Balanced Workplace.
“We are honored to receive the Digitally Balanced Workplace certification, which underscores our dedication to creating a supportive and digitally mindful work environment,” said Natalie’s Founder and CEO, Marygrace Sexton. “This achievement reflects the collective efforts of our team in promoting a healthy work-life balance and prioritizing employee wellness.”
Sexton has been a champion for Digital Wellbeing in the workplace for several years now, having once founded a non-profit that provided productive off-grid experiences for young people. She believes this balance with technology needs to extend beyond the office, having witnessed the effects digital encroachment has had on employees’ personal lives, as well as her own personal life.
In light of the recognition, Natalie’s looks forward to continuing its mission of championing digital wellness and serving as a role model for organizations seeking to create healthier work cultures in the digital age. The company’s groundbreaking initiatives have included a digital wellness orientation for employees, the hiring of a Wellness Director who provides quarterly check-ins for employees that are one-on-one to discuss workload, digital overload, stress levels and overall well-being and provide support where needed. The Wellness Director is also working through a number of additional incentives for the overall well-being of Natalie’s Team members including providing a physical trainer on site and Headspace annual subscription for those who request it.
“This recognition confirms we are on the right track with our efforts,” says Bethany Baker, Natalie’s Wellness Director. “We are already hard at work on the next steps we are going to make for the program.”
