HINGHAM, Mass., Dec. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Wellness Workdays, a leader in corporate wellness programs, announces the inaugural Best Wellness Employer certification program. Developed by Wellness Workdays in collaboration with experts from Harvard Medical School, the initiative recognizes the significant accomplishments of employers dedicated to improving employee health and well-being and helps advance the field of worksite wellness by providing data and research about current practices and wellness outcomes.
