CLAS Makes It to the Finals in the 2012 Healthiest Employers Contest

Congratulations to us! CLAS Information Services was among the finalists in the Sacramento Business Journal's "2012 Healthiest Employers" contest.

We're very proud to have been a part of this event, which honors companies for their commitment to keeping their employees healthy.

Approximately a year old, CLAS's fitness program includes a tracker made by the San Francisco company, Fitbit Inc., and on site lunchtime training from a local company, CrossFit Envy. Our fitness program is a perfect example of why CLAS's experienced and knowledgeable employees tend to stay at CLAS.
