“Throughout 2020, the Best and Brightest in Wellness winners have demonstrated leadership and forward-thinking as they pivoted their business and workforce through COVID-19. As the conversation and focus have shifted, our Best and Brightest in Wellness winning companies have also been a voice for important actions regarding Wellbeing and Race. It is in these unique times, the Best and Brightest in Wellness winners excel and share their knowledge with others,” said Jennifer Kluge, President, and CEO, Best and Brightest Programs.
