Bisk Education was recognized Thursday as one of the Tampa Bay area’s healthiest employers by the Tampa Bay Business Journal, which honored the company for its comprehensive employee wellness campaign that promotes fitness, nutrition, health knowledge and giving.

The company, a leader in facilitating the online delivery of education programs from the nation’s leading traditional universities, received the second-place award for organizations with 500 to 1500 employees.  “Our goal is to create health-centric activities that are engaging, strategic and fun,” said President Michael Bisk. “These efforts are helping to improve our employees’ lives, redefine Bisk Education’s culture, boost morale and create a favorable image as an employer of choice within the community.”

Bisk’s Healthy U program offers a variety of personal improvement activities such as yoga, cardio kickboxing, nutrition seminars, financial workshops and more. Plus, it provides opportunities for employees to give back to the community through collaborative public service events such as “Paint Your Heart Out, Tampa,” which benefits low-income, elderly citizens in the community.
