Health and wellbeing has always been an integral part of Cali Bamboo’s company culture, and over the past few years we have enhanced our wellness program to encourage our employees to lead healthier, happier lives. We are proud to announce that our efforts have paid off- we were recently named a finalist for the San Diego Business Journal’s 2015 Healthiest Companies Award!
What makes Cali Bamboo so healthy?
One of UT San Diego’s Top 40 Workplaces, the Cali Bamboo headquarters was meticulously designed to support health and wellness. Read below to learn about some of our initiatives that earned us a spot on the San Diego Business Journal’s list of finalists!

Stress Reduction:

Health and fitness is a very prominent part of Cali Bamboo’s culture that extends beyond office hours. It is common to see a group of employees working out or surfing together after work, or rallying up a group for a weekend 5k or half marathon. We hold each other accountable to fitness, encouraging everyone to participate in wellness initiatives.
