10 Arizona Companies Leading the Charge in Employer Wellness Program Initiatives

Banner|Aetna is thrilled to celebrate the achievements of 10 Arizona businesses honored with Aetna’s 2024 Workplace Well-being Award.

Each winner is recognized for their commitment to offering an exceptional employer wellness program that prioritizes employee health and well-being. By offering innovative and effective initiatives to support their workforce, these companies are leading the way towards shaping a healthier future for Arizona.

Why an employer wellness program matters

Employees spend a significant portion of their lives at work. This means companies have a unique opportunity to promote wellness practices by empowering their staff to prioritize their own well-being and health. Investing in an employer wellness program is a strategic business move that can lead to:

  • Improved productivity and employee retention. When employees feel their best, it’s easier for them to perform at the top of their game. A high-quality employer wellness program helps companies meet their employees’ rising expectations for competitive benefit offerings, which is a key part of attracting top talent.
  • Better employee health and morale. A robust employer wellness program encourages healthier lifestyle choices, lowers the risk of chronic conditions and improves overall quality of life so employees can bring their best selves to work.
  • Lower health-related costs. Preventive health measures reduce the need for more expensive medical interventions, saving both employees and employers money.

Business owners and HR leaders understand that workplace wellness programs play a vital role in fostering healthier, more productive teams. But not every employer wellness program is created equal.
