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. The program focuses on sustainable outcomes rather than access alone, delivering results comparable to GLP-1 benchmarks, supporting long-term behavior change, and generating measurable ROI for employers. Jenny Weidner, Director of Human Resource at Hancock Health, said, "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."
