Well Workplace Award Winners of Q2 2023
There are many “Employer of Choice” awards that an organization can choose to apply for in order to stand out and attract top talent, but the Well Workplace Award sets a new standard for what it means to be human at work by recognizing organizations that are contributing to human flourishing and thriving through their wellness efforts.
Well Workplace Award winners share a vision of protecting and enhancing the health and well-being of each and every employee within their organizations as a part of the very fabric of what they do – not something extraneous and peripheral to the core business functions.
Since WELCOA’s inception in 1987, we have been dedicated to studying and promoting the efforts of America’s Healthiest Companies. All of our award winners have completed a rigorous application process that includes using our patented 7 Benchmarks framework to help build and shape high-performing, and highly effective wellness programs.
This quarter’s award winners are no exception. Congratulations to the 2023 Second-Quarter Well Workplace Award Winners!
