The South Carolina Healthy Business Coalition is a statewide network advancing workforce health and wellbeing through education, collaboration, leadership development, and connection. For more than a decade, we have worked alongside employers, partners, and communities to support healthier workplaces and stronger organizations across South Carolina.
What began as a focused initiative has grown into a trusted, year-round coalition — bringing together business leaders, health professionals, and aligned organizations around a shared commitment to workforce wellbeing and long-term economic vitality.
What began as a local employer initiative has grown steadily into a trusted, statewide coalition supporting workforce health and wellbeing across South Carolina.
As a Coalition, SCHBC serves as a convening and connecting force — bringing together employers, professionals, and aligned partners to learn from one another, share resources, and lead collectively. This model allows for deeper relationships, year-round engagement, and stronger collaboration across sectors.
The Coalition structure provides a more sustainable platform for growth, supporting expanded partnerships and greater impact over time. While aligned with best practices among employer coalitions nationwide, SCHBC remains firmly rooted in South Carolina’s workforce, communities, and priorities.
The South Carolina Healthy Business Coalition builds on a strong foundation of education, collaboration, and recognition while expanding its role as a statewide convener and connector. Our work is organized around several interconnected focus areas that support healthier workplaces and stronger organizations:
Organizational wellbeing and culture, supporting employers with practical strategies that strengthen employee health, engagement, and retention
Connecting employers, HR leaders, and wellness professionals with peers and subject-matter experts through educational forums and the South Carolina Healthy Business Fellowship
Linking employers to aligned organizations, services, and tools that support real-world implementation of wellbeing strategies
Recognizing the relationship between healthy workplaces, healthy communities, and overall quality of life
Elevating leadership and innovation through storytelling, communication, and statewide events
Together, these focus areas reinforce SCHBC’s role as both a trusted resource and a connector within South Carolina’s workforce wellbeing ecosystem.
Nature at Work is a complementary statewide initiative focused on advancing health and wellbeing through nature-based strategies, environmental engagement, and community connection. It serves as a platform for employers, organizations, and practitioners interested in the role of natural environments in supporting healthy people and healthy places.

The South Carolina Healthy Business Coalition and Nature at Work are independently branded, yet strategically aligned initiatives operating under shared leadership. SCHBC centers on employer wellbeing, workforce health strategy, and leadership development, while Nature at Work broadens the lens to include environmental health, place-based practices, and nature-informed approaches to wellbeing.
Together, these aligned efforts reflect SCHBC’s broader role as a statewide convener — connecting employers, leaders, partners, and resources in service of healthier workplaces and stronger communities. This integrated approach allows the Coalition to support both immediate workforce needs and long-term systems change across South Carolina.
As the South Carolina Healthy Business Coalition enters its next decade, the focus remains clear: supporting employers, developing leaders, and strengthening the systems that shape workforce wellbeing across South Carolina. Through collaboration, connection, and shared leadership, the Coalition will continue to evolve alongside the needs of the state’s workforce, organizations, and communities.
