The Raymond Corporation announced that it has instituted tobacco-free campuses at all Raymond facilities. This move is being made in conjunction with a variety of initiatives implemented through Raymond’s employee wellness program, Wellness Matters. Raymond supports employees’ health and well-being through on-campus health screenings, fitness programs and health education.

 

“Having a tobacco-free campus promotes a healthier environment for all Raymond employees and the many visitors that come to our facilities,” says Steve VanNostrand, vice president of human resources for The Raymond Corporation. “We continually provide our employees with new programs and initiatives that help encourage their well-being now and in the future.”

 

Raymond has sponsored several tobacco-quit programs since first announcing the transition internally in February 2009.
