that the Company has been certified as a Great Place to Work® by

Shane Sabatino, Chief People
Officer at WELL, remarked, "Achieving the Great Place to Work®
certification is a fantastic accolade for WELL and is as a
reflection of the core values that we live by every day. This
independent and arm's length certification represents the strength
of the relationship we have with our employees – a relationship
that is truly a two-way street. At WELL, we are committed to
empowering our team members, and providing them with the support
they need to thrive. In turn, this empowers them to contribute
positively, not just to our company but also to the communities we
serve. It helps in creating a cycle of empowerment and support that
strengthens the very fabric of WELL. As WELL continues to grow, we
see this certification, together with our winning culture, as vital
in attracting and retaining top talent. It's a clear indicator to
prospective employees that at WELL, they will find not only a
workplace that values their contributions but also an environment
where their professional growth and well-being is a top
priority."
The Great Place to Work® certification also aligns closely with
WELL's commitment to ESG principles, a core focus of the Company's
mission. Central to this commitment is the 'Healthy Place to Work'
pillar within WELL's ESG strategy, highlighting the company's
dedication to creating a supportive and beneficial work
environment. This pillar underscores WELL's approach to delivering
social good, emphasizing the importance of employee wellness and
satisfaction as key drivers of broader societal benefits. This
recognition by Great Place to Work® serves as a clear indicator of
WELL's ongoing efforts to not only lead in the digital health
sector but also to uphold a high standard of corporate
responsibility and social impact.
Some of the programs underpinning WELL's commitment to the
wellness of all full-time, part-time, and casual team members
include:
- WELL's mental health program with Focus Mental Wellness, a
WELL Health Company, that provides team members access to qualified
mental health therapists via video, phone, and even text.
Typically, multiple free months of unlimited therapy is made
available to not just team members but even family members,
particularly in times of real global crisis.
- The WELL University program powered by SkillSoft-Percipio
offers team members access to thousands of learning resources
designed to support continual professional and personal
improvement. "WELL U" aligns perfectly with the Company's culture
of continuous improvement and learning.
- Bright Breaks provides all team members as well as medical
practitioners and consultants with access to over 300 weekly
classes spanning a spectrum of health topics including yoga,
