Nationwide's holistic approach to employee wellbeing demonstrates that supporting the whole person is not just a philosophy - it's a business imperative and differentiator to attract top talent. By offering integrated physical, mental, work-life and financial wellbeing resources for employees and their families, Nationwide has embedded wellness into its culture and daily operations.
That comprehensive strategy - and the measurable impact - has earned Nationwide the Business Group on Health Best Employers: Excellence in Health & Wellbeing Award. For more than 20 years, the award has recognized employers that advance workforce health through innovative and comprehensive benefits.
"Earning this recognition affirms that our programs are making a meaningful difference for our employees and their families," said Jeff Burke, director of wellbeing at Nationwide. "Wellbeing continues to evolve, and so must we, to meet the changing needs of our workforce."
In 2025, Nationwide strengthened its focus on mental health while expanding use of its research-based curriculum that helps employees build foundational habits for long-term health and personal growth. Offered in both live and self-guided formats, the program delivers practical tools across nutrition, mindfulness, resilience, sleep and financial basics, and is fully integrated into the company's learning ecosystem - driving strong participation and reinforcing wellbeing as part of employee development.
This year, the company will further expand support through personalized, one-on-one financial coaching, providing employees with year-round access to expert guidance. This enhancement reflects employee feedback (60% of employees say they highly value financial resources) and the growing role of financial security in overall mental health and wellbeing.
"As we look ahead, our commitment remains the same: to support employees and their families in every dimension of their wellbeing," Burke said. "When our people feel healthy, secure and supported, they can bring their best selves to work - and that strengthens Nationwide."
