Business Group on Health Recognizes 54 Companies with Best Employers: Excellence in Health and Well-Being Award

Issued by Business Group on Health

Apr. 9, 2024

TUCSON, Arizona – Fifty-four employers were recognized today with the prestigious Business Group on Health Best Employers: Excellence in Health & Well-being Award, for their outstanding commitment to advancing employee well-being through comprehensive and innovative benefits and initiatives. 

The award, now in its 19th year, was announced today in Tucson at Business Group on Health’s 2024 Annual Conference.

“I am delighted to honor each and every one of these 54 employers, which demonstrably enhanced the health and well-being of employees and their families through leading-edge initiatives,” said Ellen Kelsay, Business Group on Health president and CEO. “In addition, their novel and impactful approaches focused on critical workforce issues, such as mental health and health equity. We congratulate all the winners.” 

The 2024 winners represent banking/financial services, health care, insurance, manufacturing, professional services, technology and utilities, among others. A full list of winners is listed below and available here.

The comprehensive award criteria assess applicants on their approaches to leadership, culture and well-being strategy; holistic well-being, including mental health, financial well-being, social connectedness, job satisfaction, flexibility and time away; engagement and the employee experience; health equity and social determinants; and metrics and evaluation. Companies have the option to apply based on their U.S. or global workforce populations.

“The 2024 awardees’ successes provide a roadmap for employers as they develop health and well-being strategies,” said Pamela Rich, Business Group vice president. “All of the winners deserve praise for having exemplary leadership.”

Some of the 54 employers received additional recognition for excellence in one of three categories: Excellence in Mental Health, Excellence in Health Equity and Excellence in Global Health & Well-being. Some employers received recognition for excellence in multiple categories.  

The 10 winners recognized for Excellence in Mental Health demonstrated an organizational strategy to address mental health with goals and measurable outcomes, as well as active leadership involvement. They also all had initiatives or programs to address resilience, stress management and/or mindfulness.

The 13 winners recognized for Excellence in Health Equity worked to ensure that all employees had the opportunity to reach their full health potential, incorporating diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) into their health and well-being strategies. They engaged employee resource groups (ERGs) to inform health awareness and education campaigns; provided opportunities for employees to find health providers that matched their identity and culture; and assessed disparities in engagement with health and well-being offerings or health outcomes among different employee populations.

The nine employers recognized for Excellence in Global Health & Well-being deftly navigated challenges as they met the diverse needs of employees in multiple countries. They also demonstrated a commitment to equity with a set of standard benefits offered to their global workforces. Mental, physical, preventive and financial health offerings, as well as leave benefits, were most likely to be integrated into global consistency efforts. 

Applicants for the Best Employers Award do not have to be members of the Business Group. Entries are reviewed by a panel of peer employer judges. Applications for the 2025 Best Employers Awards will be open in fall 2024.
