In today’s evolving business landscape, creating a workplace that prioritizes and supports employee wellness is no longer optional, it’s a strategic imperative. Companies fostering a culture of well-being are not just responding to a changing workforce, they’re unlocking a powerful engine for innovation and success. Our research consistently demonstrates that organizations prioritizing employee well-being experience a significant boost in employee engagement, retention, and overall performance.

Here’s a breakdown of our meticulous research process to identify the Most Loved Workplaces® for Wellness:

Evaluation Process:

Step 1: Capturing Employee Voice and Sentiment

Love of Workplace Index® and Direct Industry Feedback: We analyze employee comments from participating companies using our Love of Workplace Index® tool. This, combined with our proprietary machine learning tool, measures the emotional sentiment of employees specifically regarding their perception of the company’s practices and values towards well-being initiatives.

Step 2: Employee Insights Survey

We conduct a comprehensive survey among employees at these organizations to gauge their experiences and overall perception of their employers, with a particular focus on well-being programs and support. This phase leverages over 500,000 data points from current employees, including demographics. We use this data to tailor our analysis and ensure it reflects the perspectives of employees at various levels within the company.

Step 3: Deep Dive into Public Perception and Wellness Focus

We conduct an in-depth review of publicly available information, including social media insights and public perception, analyzing everything through our proprietary sentiment and emotion analysis tool. This allows us to understand how employees perceive the company’s commitment to well-being and its efforts to support a healthy and balanced work environment.

Step 4: Media Validation

We review published and validated news articles within the past 18 months regarding all analyzed companies. This step helps identify any potential issues related to well-being programs or workplace experiences for employees.

Step 5: Validation and Scoring

Utilizing our proprietary workplace sentiment and emotion analysis tool, we calculate a unique “Wellness Focus” rating for each company. The top-scoring companies are then recognized on the America’s Most Loved Workplaces® for Wellness list.
