New York, NY (August 26, 2025) — In a business landscape where employee resilience, engagement, and retention are critical to growth, Fast Company and Wellhub today unveiled the 2025 Corporate Wellness Innovators, a first-of-its-kind list recognizing 20 companies redefining employee wellbeing as a strategic advantage—not just a perk. Spanning 11 industries, this year’s honorees include Kraft Heinz, Pinterest, REI Co-op, and FanDuel–organizations celebrated for replacing “check-the-box” wellness programs with meaningful, measurable initiatives that drive culture, productivity, and employee satisfaction.
Developed in partnership between Fast Company and Wellhub, the initiative highlights how forward-thinking employers are building holistic employee wellbeing offerings that address physical, emotional, nutritional, and even financial health–while delivering real business outcomes to companies.
"Our mission at Fast Company is to highlight the organizations that are truly innovating and reshaping the business world," said Ben Baer, Vice President and Executive Editor at Fast Company. "The companies on the 2025 Corporate Wellness Innovators list, many of whom also appear on our Most Innovative Companies and Inc. 5000 lists, are a clear indication that a new era of employee wellness has arrived. They are using intentional, impactful wellness programs to foster innovation and create a thriving business ecosystem."
The honorees demonstrate a range of innovative approaches to building a culture of well-being:
- EY implemented a wellbeing measurement tool to deliver personalized, data-driven wellness offerings tailored to employee needs.
- FanDuel introduced full-time childcare and free fitness access to support employees both in and out of the workplace.
- Land O’Lakes pioneered flexible scheduling for frontline workers—helping redefine work-life balance for non-desk employees.
- Quest Diagnostics leveraged its health expertise to launch “Blueprint for Wellness,” a proactive, life-saving health management tool.
- Pinterest credits its flexible “PinFlex” model with fueling rapid headcount growth and strengthening its talent brand.
"Today's competitive landscape demands that leaders treat employee well-being not as a cost center, but as a strategic investment," said Cesar Carvalho, co-founder and CEO of Wellhub. "The companies on this list are leaders in proving that a deep commitment to the whole person including their health, their happiness and their potential, is the ultimate competitive advantage. They're not just improving lives; they're building more productive, engaged, and successful businesses. We are proud to partner with Fast Company to celebrate their vision and provide a roadmap for others to follow."
