Banner|Aetna is proud to recognize 12 Arizona organizations named recipients of Aetna’s 2025 Workplace Well-being Award.
Each winner is recognized for developing employee health and wellness programs that support their people in meaningful and measurable ways. Whether they’re strengthening employee engagement or expanding access to benefits, these employers are raising expectations for workplace well-being across Arizona.
At Banner|Aetna, we’re proud to partner with employers who treat well-being as more than a perk. As a locally rooted health plan, we pair Banner Health’s care delivery with Aetna’s health plan capabilities to simplify benefits and improve access—so employees can get the right care at the right time without the hassle.
Why employee health and wellness programs matter
Employees spend a significant portion of their lives at work. That means organizations have a unique opportunity to support healthier habits, reduce barriers to care and normalize well-being as part of the workday. Investing in employee health and wellness programs is also a strategic business move that can lead to:
- Improved productivity and employee retention. When employees feel their best, it’s easier to stay engaged and perform at a high level. Strong employee health and wellness programs also help meet rising expectations for competitive benefits—an increasingly important factor in attracting and retaining talent.
- Better employee health and morale. Thoughtful programs can encourage healthier lifestyle choices, lower the risk of chronic conditions and improve overall quality of life—helping employees show up with more energy and resilience.
- Lower health-related costs. Preventive care and early intervention can reduce the need for more costly medical services later, supporting long-term affordability for both employees and employers.
