ComPsych announced the gold winners of its seventh annual Health at Work Award: Intel Corporation, CDW, GE Capital Fleet Services and Frett Barrington.
Winners were selected based on their wellness program's comprehensiveness, delivery, promotion, participation rates and results achieved. ComPsych Corporation is the world's largest provider of employee assistance programs.
"Spiraling health care costs continue to be a challenge for most employers. This, coupled with the economic downturn and smaller workforces, makes it increasingly important that employers help their people be as healthy and productive as possible," says Richard Chaifetz, chairman and CEO of ComPsych. "We applaud these four organizations for promoting health and wellness and improving the lives of employees."
