It was the 10th consecutive year the Company achieved this important benchmark and the eighth consecutive year FCA US was the only automaker to earn a medal.

The NBGH's Best Employers for Healthy Lifestyles Award recognizes employers that have embraced a culture of health and wellness and are working collaboratively to improve the health and quality of life of employees and their families.

"Promoting a culture of health at FCA US supports our high-performance work culture and enables each team member to pursue best-in-class results."

FCA US is committed to 4URHLTH, a comprehensive wellness program designed to enable employees and families to lead healthier lifestyles and improve their quality of life. 

Since 1985, the 4URHLTH wellness program has evolved to meet the needs of employees and nurture a culture of health.

This comprehensive approach to wellness includes health portals, UAW benefit representatives, a Health Advocate (RN) for salaried employees, an EAP representative for salaried employees, on-site medical departments, 25 dedicated wellness staff members, fitness centers, and an on-site retail medical clinic and pharmacy.
