AquaCal/AutoPilot in St. Petersburg, the team offers parenting classes, financial management
workshops, on-site workouts with a personal trainer and healthy cooking classes.
Each of the 16 branch locations in Florida chooses their own initiatives and the national
sales team from all over the country likes well-being challenges and Fitbits. All teammates
can participate in one-to-one well-being coaching on an on-going basis. Certified well-being
professionals help employees with stress, nutrition, fitness, weight loss, and/or work/life
balance. While it is confidential, employees often share their remarkable results with others.
“The Color Me Healthy philosophy is that we view teammates as creative, competent and
complete. We don’t exist to fix anyone. We provide opportunities for folks to choose if and how
they want to participate,” says well-being coordinator Kim Kent.

least five years.
“My personal goal has always been to create an environment where every employee jumps
out of bed and can hardly wait to get to work,” says Dr. Bill Kent.
“Employees notice when an organization legitimately cares about their well-being and
are more likely to be satisfied with their jobs, committed to the organization and motivated to
do their best,” says David W. Ballard, PsyD, MBA, head of APA’s Center for Organizational
Excellence.
