Cisco’s HealthConnections program is designed to help U.S. employees manage their health and well-being through a variety of programs and resources that provide health assessments, onsite health screening, online personal health management, and health coaching. Onsite fitness centers, exercise classes, and nutrition seminars also support employees in their own paths to good health. In addition, Cisco cafes offer HealthConnections meals that take into account local eating customs and preferences, while a nutrition labeling program helps employees make more healthful choices.

The National Business Group on Health, a nonprofit health advocacy organization, has recognized Cisco for its commitment and dedication to preventing obesity and promoting a healthy lifestyle for employees. Cisco was among 41 employers nationwide to receive a “Gold Award” in the organization’s 2007 Best Employers for Healthy Lifestyles awards program.
