What people are saying about Blue Zones Project
“Hawai‘i Electric Light is proud to be recognized as a Blue Zones Project Approved worksite on Hawai‘i Island. Our employees pledged to make small changes like eating healthy, joining a Moai, finding their purpose, and volunteering in our community. The results have been very positive. Employees feel healthier, happier, and more energetic. The Walking Moai and volunteer activities fostered friendships between employees from different areas of the company and improved collaboration and morale. We became a better place to work, which helps us make our community a better place to live.”
