Northwest Corp's 2nd Annual Safety and Solutions Showcase: A Commitment to Employee Well-Being and Community Collaboration

At Northwest Corp., we believe that the biggest thing we grow is people. This mission drives us to prioritize the safety, well-being, and professional development of our employees. Our 2nd Annual Safety and Solutions Showcase, held this year in Sioux Falls, SD, exemplifies this commitment. This event brought together a diverse group of businesses and community resources, providing our employees with valuable insights and tools to enhance their safety and well-being both on and off the job.

A Gathering of Community and Industry Leaders

The Safety and Solutions Showcase is more than just an event; it's a celebration of collaboration and learning. We invited several businesses and organizations that we work with directly or indirectly, as well as those that serve as valuable community resources. Each vendor set up a booth, allowing our employees to interact, learn, and engage with the services and products they offer.

Avera's booth focused on educating our employees about the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) counseling services. These free and confidential services are available to our employees and their immediate families, providing support for personal and professional challenges.

Representatives from The Helpline Center were on hand to discuss the 211 and 988 community resources. These services offer critical support for mental health, crisis intervention, and other community needs.

As our current benefit providers, Aflac and Acrisure played a key role in the event. They provided information on the various benefits available to our employees, ensuring they are well-informed about their options.

Primerica's "How Money Works" program offered financial support and guidance, helping our employees make informed decisions about their financial futures.

The South Dakota Department of Transportation provided insights into roadside inspections and other transportation-related safety measures.

Fostering a Culture of Safety and Well-Being

The Safety and Solutions Showcase is a testament to our dedication to fostering a culture of safety and well-being at Northwest Corp. By bringing together these valuable resources, we aim to equip our employees with the knowledge and tools they need to stay safe and healthy.

One of the highlights of the event was the food truck from Big Poppa's Food Truck, sponsored by Aflac and Acrisure. This provided a fun and relaxed atmosphere for our employees to enjoy delicious food while engaging with the vendors.
