Modern Health Recognized as a Great Place to Work with a Supportive Workplace Culture Amidst Global Pandemic, Economic Recession, and Election-Related Stress

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Modern Health, the global preventative mental wellness platform, today announced it was awarded 16th place on LinkedIn's official list of the 50 top startups to work for in 2020. Additionally, Great Place to Work® - the global authority on workplace culture - recently certified the company for its thriving and collaborative environment, with 96% of Modern Health employees reporting it's a great place to work.

LinkedIn's Top Startups 2020 list is a reflection of how businesses are evolving through the pandemic, what industries are emerging and growing, and where people want to work in the face of an uncertain economy. LinkedIn's selection criteria also took into account each startup's ability to attract talent from other top employers previously recognized. Great Place to Work® conducted a rigorous analysis of the entire Modern Health workforce, analyzing critical sentiments like trust, acceptance and engagement. The certification confirms that 100 percent of Modern Health's employees care about each other, feel they have meaningful responsibilities, and believes management trusts them to do a good job without watching over their shoulders.

"We believe that people are the most valuable asset to businesses and it's our mission to create healthier workforces across the world. We are committed to aligning our culture with our mission and proud to be recognized by both LinkedIn and Great Place to Work® as one of the best startups to work for," comments Alyson Watson (formerly Friedensohn), CEO and founder of Modern Health. "These awards are testament to our goal of not only making a positive change in the world, but creating a workplace where every employee feels valued, respected and supported. Our entire team has worked hard to build this type of culture, and I'm incredibly proud and humbled to get to work alongside each and every one of them. By creating a healthy, empowering culture, we know that our employees will deliver better results for our customers."

According to the Great Place to Work® survey, 96 percent of team members say Modern Health is a great place to work, versus a 59 percent industry average. The following statements were also reported:

• 97 percent: When I look at what we accomplish, I feel a sense of peace
• 97 percent: Management shows a sincere interest in me as a person, not just as an employee
• 96 percent: It is a great workplace
• 98 percent: I look forward to coming to work
• 99 percent: I feel good about the ways we contribute to the community
• 99 percent: I feel I make a difference here

These achievements validate the company's innovative, people-first culture, and underscore its dedication to caring for employees, customers and communities during these difficult and exceptional times. In accordance with Modern Health's values, the company responded to the unprecedented events of 2020 with free therapist-led community support sessions including Healing Circles for members of the Black Community experiencing racial trauma, support for parents overburdened with homeschooling and work pressures, and a non-partisan Election Support Series specifically designed to offer practical tips and advice for managing through the stress and uncertainty of the election.
