2008-07-24 Westlake Recognized by State Legislative Task Force as Employee Wellness Advocate

SAN MATEO, CA--Nov 26, 2007 -- Westlake Realty Group, Inc., an AMO^®-certified property management company, today announced that it is an awardee of the prestigious 2007 California Fit Business Award from the California Task Force on Youth and Workplace Wellness. The task force's award was conferred during a special ceremony in Sacramento on Thursday, November 8, 2007.

"The welfare of our employees has always been a top priority," said Robert Klag, CEO of Westlake Realty Group. "So it is nice to receive confirmation of leadership in voluntary programs to promote employee wellness."

Westlake introduced its well-regarded employee wellness program in 2005. The program includes the following elements:

• Each employee receives a free membership at a well-equipped nearby gym. Family members can join at a significant discount
• Company vending machines are stocked with a variety of healthy snack alternatives such as low-fat microwave popcorn and baked whole-grain chips.
• Employees have 24/7 access to a health and wellness hotline where they can get free, authoritative advice on diet and how to monitor their health issues.
• Employees are encouraged -- with executives acting as role models -- to incorporate walking into their workday. For example, using the stairs instead of the elevator, and parking further away from the entrance to the office building.

About the California Task Force on Youth and Workplace Wellness

Founded by the California state legislature in 2002 and led by State Senator Tom Torlakson, the mission of the task force is to "create and promote programs and policies which decrease the obesity rates in California's schools and workplaces." A joint public/private endeavor, it mobilizes a broad spectrum of California citizens and legislators to address school and workplace physical fitness and health issues.
