Grace H., HR Coordinator, has many roles here in the KY Warehouse. One of which is to handle events and planning. One of her most recent events was the Health & Wellness Fair. Several vendors from the area came out to speak with the KY Warehouse Superheroes to share information about their services or products. Among the vendors were Bullitt County Health Department, Hester's Gym, Etown Swim & Fitness, Two Ten Organization, Shepherdsville Chiropractic, and many more.

Employees received a Zappos.com goodie bag filled with lots of stuff including a jump rope, pedometer, jar openers, hand sanitizer, and many more things you shouldn't ever be without.

It was a long, but fun filled day of blood pressure screenings, body fat analysis, stop smoking campaigns, financial planning chats, and tips on ways to be more active and healthy. Thanks for all the work, Grace. We really enjoyed it and are looking forward to the next one!

Today we are having an Athletic Expo and tomorrow is the Housewares Expo – more on those later this week.

Oh where do I begin? The Health Awareness Expo was unique in 2 aspects. First, we weren’t directly learning about products that we carry on the site. Second, it was spread across five conference rooms in our second building, the one “up the hill.” There were 6 themes – Social, Financial, Intellectual, Emotional, Physical & Nutritional.

I’ll be a shallow boy and first mention that there were free smoothies and a very nice colorful t-shirt! Moving on, perhaps the most notorious freebees were from “Social” room – I believe the technical term is “prophylactic.” B-) Over in the Financial room we had a bank, a credit union, a credit counselor and the financial aid part of our Employee Assistance Program or EAP. In Intellectual we had our two largest institutions of higher education, UNLV and the newly renamed College of Southern Nevada, along with EAP legal. The Emotional room had several counseling and therapy services.

One indicator that Zappos is becoming a larger company is the number of health clubs and gyms that are offering us discounts. We had 6 gyms along with an eye care center, 2 dental services, 4 medical outfits and a smoke-cessation program. For nutrition, we had a couple of weight loss clincs and 3 nutritional vendors. All in all, a great and comprehensive job by our Human Resources Department!
