HR.com has announced the winners of the 2026 Employee Well-being Awards, honoring organizations that are redefining workplace wellness through innovation, accessibility, and measurable impact. The awards recognize outstanding contributions in two categories: Best Employee Wellness Solution and Best Comprehensive Wellness Program.

Avidon Health received the Best Employee Wellness Solution Award for its rebuilt behavior change platform that democratizes workplace wellness. The platform is designed to be fast, affordable, and turnkey, enabling instant deployment without IT support. It delivers personalized, science-backed wellness journeys targeting stress, sleep, movement, and nutrition, driving sustained behavior change and measurable participation.

“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,” stated a representative from Avidon Health. “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. The program integrates lifestyle medicine, clinical care, medical fitness, and medication when appropriate, focusing on sustainable outcomes rather than access alone. It delivers results comparable to GLP-1 benchmarks and generates measurable ROI for employers.

“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,” said Jenny Weidner, Director of Human Resource, Hancock Health.
