HR.com has announced the winners of the 2026 Employee Well-being Awards, celebrating organizations that are transforming workplace wellness through innovative solutions and comprehensive program design. The awards recognize outstanding contributions to improving physical, mental, and behavioral health, driving engagement, and delivering measurable business value.
Avidon Health received the Best Employee Wellness Solution Award for its rebuilt behavior change platform that democratizes workplace wellness by making evidence-based coaching accessible to organizations of any size. The platform's 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 was recognized as the winner of the Best Comprehensive Wellness Program 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, noted, “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.”
These award winners exemplify the future of employee well-being through scalable innovation, clinical rigor, and a commitment to lasting impact. Debbie McGrath, CEO of HR.com, commented, “These award winners represent a meaningful shift in how organizations are approaching employee well-being.
