MINNETONKA, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 12, 2018-- UnitedHealthcare honored 10 employers with the company’s “Well Deserved” award for implementing innovative, industry-leading workplace well-being programs that help improve their employees’ health.

“Well Deserved award winners successfully established a culture of well-being by implementing worksite wellness programs to help lower costs and improve employee health and engagement,” said Ann Marie O’Brien, RN, UnitedHealthcare’s national director of health strategies. “An increasing number of companies recognize that valued well-being programs help employee health, satisfaction and productivity, and differentiate themselves as employers from other organizations.”

Among this year’s award winners, Northfield, Illinois-based Medline Industries, Inc., received a Well Deserved Leadership award. The award recognizes employers for their innovation, thought leadership and sustained results in helping employees improve their health and well-being.
