DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GPA BeWell has achieved national Gold Level recognition, the highest honor, in the American Heart Association’s Workplace Health Achievement Index, a science-based assessment that defines best practices and evaluates the quality and effectiveness of an organization’s efforts to improve employee health and build a culture of health in the workplace.

BeWell’s dedication to providing excellent service is so appreciated and we are proud to be recognized by the AHA with this Gold Level achievement for our workplace health,” said Kathy Enochs, Chief Executive Officer.

The Workplace Health Achievement Index was developed by the American Heart Association’s CEO Roundtable to evaluate and recognize organizations that provide high quality and effective workplace wellness programs. The Index is a web-based scorecard that looks at organizational best practices and aggregates employee health data to evaluate the overall quality and comprehensiveness of workplace health programs. Companies receive benchmarking reports, which allow them to identify potential areas of improvement so that they can advance their annual performance and recognition.
