Don’t be too confused if you’re limping your way down a CHOMP hallway, and you hear faint hums of Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah. It’s not your imagination. It’s just the happy sound bleeding from the staffers. Staff health and wellness is a priority here, one long-timer explains, as is a positive attitude and atmosphere. The perks are pretty healthy, too: free gym, wellness coaches, husky salaries, education benefits, retirement packages, a dining room full of healthy options and a trusting family environment. My oh my what a wonderful day.
