In today's competitive marketplace, businesses are looking for creative ways to attract and retain talented
employees. Creating a healthier workplace can help you stand out in the crowd by lowering employees' risk of
disease, injury and illness, and boosting work productivity and community engagement. We sat down with Julie
Vargas, the Best Health® wellness manager, to share how our nationally-accredited program can support employees'
wellness and take your workplace to the next level.
