Sign the Letter of Intent

The Colorado Recovery Friendly Workplace (RFW) Initiative™ acknowledges the critical role employers hold in elevating the importance of mental health in the workplace. The initiative aims to recruit business leaders in all industries across the state to collaboratively identify and implement RFW principles to improve workplace well-being and performance. 

Instructions

Who should sign the Letter of Intent?

The Letter of Intent should be signed by a decision-maker at the organization, such as a C-suite executive, owner, or other executive leader (e.g., Director of Human Resources, Safety Manager, Wellness Manager). By signing, your organization commits to fostering a recovery friendly environment and leading efforts toward a healthier workplace culture.

What information do I need to sign?

The Letter of Intent requests contact and workplace details such as organization name and type, number of employees, physical address, and company logo. Sharing your organization’s physical address and logo will help us showcase your organization’s commitment on our Participating Colorado Companies page. If your organization would rather not be showcased on our Participating Companies page, you can indicate this while filling out the Letter of Intent. 

What happens after signing?

You join a community of advocates committed to improving mental well-being in the workplace and across Colorado. We will coordinate with you to review what your organization is currently doing to support employees and work with you to implement strategies from Colorado’s RFW Toolkit. These resources will empower your organization to make changes that benefit and support your employees, strengthening your workforce.
