Last week at Personify Health’s Thrive Summit, our annual gathering dedicated to the latest and most significant trends and insights impacting employer-sponsored health, we presented the fifth annual Thrive Awards. This is one of our brightest moments of the event, where we recognize those dedicated companies that are not just participating in health and wellbeing, but investing in their people and reaping the benefits. This year, in front of an enthusiastic audience of health, benefits, and HR leaders who attended Thrive in person and virtually, 13 standoutcompanies were recognized for their results, commitment, and innovation.
“It’s truly an honor to recognize clients who are actively shaping the future of health and wellbeing, and setting new standards for excellence. Their achievements are the result of strong partnerships, unwavering leadership commitment, and a shared belief that investing in health and wellbeing transforms lives and businesses for the better. These outcomes represent real people impacted, risks reduced, and workplaces thriving. Thank you to these organizations and leaders for proving what’s possible when innovation meets purpose. We are proud to celebrate your success and build the future of health and wellbeing together,” noted Kristen Larson, senior vice president of client growth at Personify Health, who presented this year’s awards during Thrive Summit.
