As a health insurance company serving 1 million-plus members, Tufts Health Plan knows the importance of employee health and wellness. The nonprofit Watertown, Mass.-based company offers a Working Well health program, taking a holistic approach with almost all of its 2,700 employees participating.

A state-of-the-art 12,000-square-foot workout facility at its corporate headquarters is available 24/7 and staffed by certified professionals, offering free health assessment and workout programs, and the membership is subsidized by the company. There is also an on-site garden, which was suggested by employees.

Tufts Health Plan also offers monthly nutrition education seminars with a registered dietitian, weekly on-site Weight Watchers sessions and discounts for attending a community meeting. The company’s cafeteria also offers healthy breakfasts, lunches and snacks, with a subsidized fruit and salad bar.
