Many members of the workforce, wanting to look and feel their best, often turn to wellness brands for vitamin, supplement, mental health and fitness options they believe will improve their lives. For many, these options tend to be separate from their work lives. They may go to the gym after work, take vitamins before work or shut off their work phones on weekends.
Wellness companies make it easier for consumers to focus on wellness away from the office. But what if the workplace is the wellness space? What about the employees working at these companies to help make wellness a priority for others—are their own wellness needs being met, too?
Newsweek and Plant-A Insights released America’s Greatest Companies 2025 earlier this month. Highlighted in this ranking were many brands that Americans use to help achieve their wellness goals.
Newsweek spoke with brands Hims & Hers and Planet Fitness to learn how health companies are promoting positive lifestyles for their own employees, translating their external missions to company operations. From focusing on employees’ mental and physical health to providing generous parental leave, these brands are prioritizing employees’ work-life balance and aiming to meet individual needs.
Creating a Culture of Mental Wellbeing
One of the most glaring issues in the workforce is mental health. Workplace stress, difficulty establishing work-life balance and lack of motivation all take a toll on employees’ well-being.
Like many other brands, Hims & Hers has taken steps to implement beneficial practices to help address employees’ wellness, according to Khobi Brooklyn, chief corporate affairs officer at the company.
