At Beacon Mutual, we’re proud to announce that our commitment to employee health and well-being has been recognized with two major honors: the 2025 Rhode Island Exemplary Worksite Health Award from the Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce and the 2025 PBN Healthiest Employer Award.
These awards are more than acknowledgments—they’re a reflection of Beacon’s core values in action. As a company deeply focused on what matters most, we believe that caring for our employees is essential to caring for the businesses, injured workers, and communities we serve across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
"When we invest in the well-being of our employees, we’re investing in our mission. Our people are the driving force behind everything we do—from helping injured workers heal to supporting safe, thriving workplaces throughout the region,” said Shannon Broadbent, Beacon’s Vice President of Human Resources. “These awards reflect our intentional focus on creating a workplace where our team can truly thrive—physically, emotionally, socially, and financially."
So, what does it take to be one of the healthiest workplaces in the state?
At Beacon, we offer a comprehensive wellness program designed to support every aspect of employee well-being. From annual wellness challenges and biometric screenings to nutrition classes and mindfulness resources, our team members have access to a wide range of programs that promote healthy lifestyles.
Some of the key components of our wellness program include:
Our efforts go beyond one-time events—they’re integrated into the culture at Beacon. We regularly survey employees to ensure our programs are meeting their needs and to gather ideas for new initiatives. This commitment has resulted in high participation rates and positive feedback, showing that wellness is truly part of how we work.
This recognition builds on a strong foundation. Beacon has received annual wellness awards from Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island since 2017, demonstrating a long-standing commitment to total well-being—not just as a workplace benefit, but as a strategic priority.
These recent honors also align with Beacon’s core values, especially “Commit to Care.” We care about our employees and their families, and we know that when we put people first, everyone benefits—our employees, our policyholders, our agents, and our community.
We’re honored to be named among Rhode Island’s healthiest employers and proud to offer a workplace that supports the whole person. Because at Beacon, our people are the key to our purpose—and to the continued success of the businesses we serve.
