What We Love

Describing its commitment to the health of its employees as a “core business value,” the management behind this financial services company promotes well-being in its ranks. moms who want to lose weight, screen for medical conditions or reduce stress can visit wellness clinics at seven locations to consult with nurses, health coaches, dietitians and physicians; the recent addition of mobile dentistry and pharmacy services saves even more time. many sites offer fitness centers with workout classes and cafeterias with nutritious meals. Under the banner of its Healthy living program, the company offers seminars on eating well, provides free generic drugs to help stave off chronic conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure) and grants access to a 24-hour nursing hotline.
