HR.com has announced the winners of its 2026 Employee Well-being Awards, honoring organizations that have demonstrated outstanding innovation in workplace wellness solutions and comprehensive program design. The awards celebrate companies transforming how employers support physical, mental, and behavioral health to drive engagement, improve outcomes, and deliver measurable business value.
Avidon Health received the Best Employee Wellness Solution Award for its rebuilt behavior change platform. The platform democratizes workplace wellness by making evidence-based coaching accessible to organizations of any size. Its fast, affordable, turnkey design enables instant deployment without IT support, delivering personalized, science-backed wellness journeys that drive engagement, measurable participation, and sustained behavior change across stress, sleep, movement, and nutrition. A representative from Avidon Health stated, "Winning this award from HR.com is a proud moment for our team. HR and benefits leaders put their credibility on the line every time they recommend a solution. This award is our promise to them that the trust was well placed and that we will keep earning it."
Hancock Health received the Best Comprehensive Wellness Program award for its first-of-its-kind, year-long weight management initiative that blends lifestyle medicine, clinical care, medical fitness, and medication when appropriate. Focused on sustainable outcomes rather than access alone, the program delivers results comparable to GLP-1 benchmarks, supports long-term behavior change, and generates measurable ROI for employers. Jenny Weidner, Director of Human Resource at Hancock Health, commented, "Our wellness strategy is not just a ‘program’; it has become a strategic advantage as we build a culture where every associate can thrive physically, emotionally, and professionally."
Debbie McGrath, CEO of HR.com, said, "These award winners represent a meaningful shift in how organizations are approaching employee well-being. By combining innovation, accessibility, and measurable outcomes, they are helping employers and employees move beyond traditional wellness programs to deliver real, lasting impact for their workforce and their business."
