Wellness Workdays, a leading provider of corporate wellness programs, announces that 12 organizations achieved 2022 Best Wellness Employer gold certification: Andersen Construction; City of Portland, Maine; Columbia; Jefferson County, Colorado; MaineDOT; Maine Financial Institutions Trust; New Balance; Norway Savings Bank; the Orlando Utilities Commission; Titan America; Turner Construction and Worthen Industries. The Best Wellness Employer program, developed by Wellness Workdays in collaboration with experts from Harvard Medical School, recognizes the significant achievements of employers dedicated to improving employee health and well-being.

“The pandemic highlights how important employee well-being is to an organization’s ability to thrive during challenging times. A certified wellness program can build a stronger, more resilient workforce that is productive, healthy and engaged,” said Debra Wein, founder and CEO of Wellness Workdays. “The Best Wellness Employer certification demonstrates an employer’s commitment to employee well-being and gives them an opportunity to promote their corporate wellness program initiatives and their positive impact on employee health.”

The 12 gold organizations met rigorous evaluation standards in the four key areas of assessment, strategy, implementation and evaluation. Four of these organizations earned gold certification for each of the past three years – the Orlando Utilities Commission, New Balance, Norway Savings Bank and the City of Portland, Maine – and four organizations earned gold certification for each of the last two years – Andersen Construction, Titan America, the MaineDOT and Jefferson County, Colorado. Several of the Best Wellness Employers will be featured at Wellness Workdays' 9th Annual Emerging Trends in Wellness Conference on April 7. Recipients will share insights on best practices and provide real life examples of how to overcome challenges when starting and growing an employee wellness program.
