This year’s award highlights Stratton’s commitment to a culture of safety, with programs that span guest education, employee training, youth outreach, and mental health awareness. Key efforts included interactive safety tools for kids, creative public safety events, enhanced incident prevention protocols, and robust mental health initiatives, such as suicide prevention training and accessible counseling. Resort leadership emphasized that expanding the definition of safety to include mental well-being was a direct response to employee feedback, reinforcing Stratton’s holistic approach to resort safety.
