Walbridge has been named a 2026 Best and Brightest in Wellness Elite Award winner in the Physical & Mental Health category. Presented by the National Association for Business Resources (NABR), the Elite awards recognize organizations that demonstrate excellence in workplace wellness and a commitment to employee wellbeing.
This year’s recognition continues a decade-plus run for the enterprise. Walbridge has been honored by the Best and Brightest program every year since 2014, a sustained record that reflects an ongoing investment in its people and enterprise culture.
Walbridge was among 12 Elite honorees recognized at the Michigan’s Best and Brightest in Wellness and Metropolitan Detroit’s Best and Brightest Companies to Work For Conference and Awards Celebration on October 15, 2026. The Physical & Mental Health category recognizes Walbridge’s commitment to supporting the overall wellbeing of its team members.
The Best and Brightest in Wellness program recognizes organizations that prioritize employee wellbeing through innovative wellness practices and workplace initiatives. The Elite awards highlight companies that stand out in specific areas of wellness, celebrating their efforts to create environments where employees can thrive.
“For us, caring for our team members means looking beyond physical safety to recognize the importance of mental health well-being, too,” said Chris Collins, Vice President of Human Resources at Walbridge. “In an industry where the work is demanding, looking out for one another means creating an environment where people feel supported and knowing that it’s okay to ask for help. We believe that supporting the physical and mental health of our team members is essential to building a strong workforce and helping our people thrive.”
