Hawaiian Telcom has earned the distinction as the first technology company in the nation to become a Certified Blue Zones Worksite
Congratulations to Hawaiian Telcom on becoming our latest Certified Blue Zones Worksite® in Hawai‘i!
“I’d like to congratulate Hawaiian Telcom on being the first technology company in the nation to become a Certified Blue Zones Worksite. Their dedication to well-being has helped their employees become healthier, happier, and more engaged.”
- Nick Buettner, Vice President of Product, Blue Zones, LLC
To celebrate its Blue Zones Certification, Hawaiian Telcom kicked off a Week of Wellness that included virtual workshops and activities to help employees eat healthier, exercise and manage stress. The Week of Wellness has continued into August (National Wellness Month) in which Hawaiian Telcom is hosting additional virtual activites, including yoga and meditation classes, to encourage employees to embrace healthy lifestyles.
“The Week of Wellness was an opportunity for our employees to learn more about health,” said Diane Stephens, Corporate Account Manager at Hawaiian Telcom. “When you learn this as an individual, you also spread it to your family and everyone will benefit from it.”

Hawaiian Telcom worked diligently to become a Certified Blue Zones Worksite through the successful completion of some of these well-being best practices:
- Adopted a tobacco-free campus policy for their headquarter office building in downtown Honolulu
- Established “Junk-Food-Free” Healthy Snack Zones in the workplace
- Established healthy dining changes that include Blue Zones-approved choices in Hawaiian Telcom’s on-site employee cafeteria and in neighboring restaurants
“A healthy workforce supports a healthier community and a healthier Hawai‘i,” said Su Shin, President & General Manager of Hawaiian Telcom. “Our employees are our most important assets, and it’s even more important now during the COVID-19 pandemic for us to support their health and well-being as part of our commitment to them and to Hawai‘i.”
