Great American Insurance Group is pleased to announce that it
has been recognized as one of the “Healthiest Companies in America”
and one of Cincinnati’s 2010 Top Workplaces.
“Healthiest Companies in America”
For the second consecutive year, Great American Insurance Group
has received the “Healthiest Companies in America” Award from
Interactive Health Solutions (IHS), a national provider of employee
health management programs. The award recognizes companies who are
committed to the health and well being of employees, along with
creating a corporate culture that encourages individuals to be
responsible for their own health and to take an active role in
their preventative care.
Due to the success of Great American’s first health challenge
(“Challenge”) in 2008, the Company sponsored a second Challenge in
2009. The Challenge encouraged employees to improve their health
through walking and weight management programs and to participate
in health screenings. Employees were incentivized to participate
and achieve individual and Company goals to win a variety of
prizes, provided by Great American’s parent company, American
Financial Group, Inc. One lucky employee won the grand prize of a
choice of 1,000 shares of AFG common stock (valued at approximately
$25,000), mortgage pay down or a dream room.
The 2009 Challenge was a success as over 70% of the Company’s
5,500 benefit-eligible employees participated in some aspect of the
Challenge. Even more impressive is that employees’ overall scores
in the health screenings remained within the healthy range from the
prior year. In addition, employees participating in the weight
management program lost an average of 12.5 lbs, while those
participating in the walking program averaged over 7,800 steps per
day. This is about 4,800 more steps than the typical office worker
walks in a day.
“We were pleased to maintain the positive momentum with our
second health Challenge and our status as one of the ‘Healthiest
Companies in America.’ We are committed to a culture that
encourages our employees to be healthy while promoting preventative
care. We know that good health is good business. It benefits both
employees and the Company,” explained Spencer Stooksbury,
Divisional Assistant Vice President, Corporate Benefits.

take great pride in being an employer of choice. Our recognition as
