The HERO Scorecard has provided guidance in helping us focus our efforts and understand where we can grow. We are very satisfied with the improvements made at this point in time, and fully expect to continue to improve our workforce health movements with HERO helping to drive these efforts.”

Wellness Manager, Arapahoe House

“The intimate HERO Think Tank format facilitates conversations among national wellness leaders – researchers, employers and subject matter experts – and provides access to comprehensive research, best practices, and practical applications. In turn, we use this wealth of information to develop innovative solutions for our clients to change organizational culture, support the individual well-being of employees, and improve business results.”

Laura N. Hoag

“The HERO Think Tank has become one of my year’s highlights – the presentations are valuable and the networking is amazing.”
