The National Business Group on Health has released its lists oftop-performing employers in the health and well-being realm. Butnext year’s rankings will represent a paradigm shift for theorganization’s awards, as NBGH said it will retool the awardscriteria to focus strictly on well-being, that new buzz phrasesweeping through Corporate America.

NBGH selected this year’s 64 winners of its 2015 Best Employers for HealthyLifestyles awards in two categories with very differentcriteria.

The Platinum winners, which included such luminaries as Aramark,Delta Airlines, MasterCard, and UnitedHealth Group, were chosenbased primarily upon the quality of their workplacewell-being programs and overallcultural focus on health and well-being.

Gold winners (American Express, JP Morgan Chase, LockheedMartin, and Compass Group) were selected based upon thesupport systems in place for employeeswho want to pursue a healthier lifestyle.

Repeat winners dominated both lists; there were only sevennewbies.

Three employers—Johnson & Johnson, IBM, and Unilever—wererecipients of the Global Distinction award for their efforts toimprove the health and well-being of their global workforces.

Next year, it’ll all be different, NBGH said.

The awards “will transition from focusing on the physical healthand well-being of employees to encompassing the broader definitionof well-being. Since the program’s inception, the criteriahave focused primarily on physical health and well-being; however,beginning in 2016, requirements for recognition will explicitlyaddress well-being as it is currently and more broadly defined inthe large employer market. Financial, community, and socialwell-being; a greater emphasis on resilience and emotionalwell-being; and approaches to linking health and well-being tobusiness performance will be incorporated into award criteria.”
