With a philosophy of “Gilbane cares,” employees of this construction and real estate development firm know their employer considers their health a priority.

Gilbane Inc. employees reap the advantages of benefits such as one-on-one health coaching, companywide health and wellness challenges, and plenty of discounts and incentives, said Lisa Holland, CEO of StayFit Plan, Gilbane’s corporate health and wellness partner.

Employees choose from options, including an active daily stretching group and information-packed seminars and newsletters. “The wellness program raises camaraderie and morale while it reduces stress,” said Holland.

In this year’s “Healthy Selfie Challenge,” employees posted selfies of both serious and silly healthy activities. Winners received a selfie stick and gift card, but all employees had fun showing off their healthy efforts.
