PROVIDENCE – Providence Business News has announced the winners of its newest event, Healthiest Employers, which recognizes companies – large and small – that have health and wellness initiatives and believe in encouraging employees to adapt healthy lifestyles.

Based on company size, finalists were chosen based on scores in six wellness categories – culture and leadership commitment, foundation components, strategic planning, communication and marketing, programming and interventions, and reporting and analysis. Top honorees will be named in each size category at an awards luncheon at the Providence Marriott on Aug. 9.

Out of 40 applicants, 28 honorees were chosen based on a 75-question assessment, scored using a proprietary system that automatically ranks organizations based on their individual answers.
