MONTREAL, March 25, 2026 /CNW/ - Dialogue Health Technologies Inc. is pleased to announce the winners of the 2026 Healthiest Workplace Awards, recognizing standout organizations across Canada that continue to push the boundaries of employee well‑being. Dialogue celebrates workplaces that don't just adopt wellness initiatives, but operationalize them, measure them, and build cultures where people continue to thrive. Now in its second year, this annual program builds on the strong engagement from 2025. It continues to recognize organizations that successfully integrate health and wellness into their workplaces, measure their impact, and sustain cultures where people thrive.
"At Dialogue, we have a clear ambition to deliver high-quality care that is practical, trusted and timely," said Cherif Habib, CEO of Dialogue. "This goal can only be achieved when we work alongside organizations that truly prioritize the health and well-being of their people. We're proud to once again recognize the Canadian employers who are leading by example in employee well-being. Highlighting their efforts helps raise expectations for workplace health across Canada."
Dialogue's Healthiest Workplace Awards highlight employers that demonstrate leadership in workplace well-being and set a strong example for others across Canada. Their efforts reflect a sustained commitment to supporting employees, including building a strong workplace culture, psychological safety, and benefits programs that contribute to long-term retention, health outcomes, and productivity.
The awards recognize workplaces offering access to care and wellness resources, along with employee engagement and utilization of available services. Organizations spotlighted exemplify:
- Strong awareness of available care: High registration rates show that employees are aware of their benefits and know how to access care when they need it.
- Deep engagement with Dialogue's services: High average utilization rates reflect that employees are actively using their benefits and receiving meaningful support.
- Exceptional Well-Being Scores: The team reports healthy levels of well-being across key factors like mood, stress, physical activity, sleep, and sense of purpose.
Canadian workers are facing increasing well-being challenges, with mental health, financial stability, and work-life balance under growing strain. In 2025, 30% of Canadian employees reported a decline in their mental health, while 26% experienced worsening sleep issues and nearly a quarter (23%) reported reduced physical activity. These trends highlight a growing need for employers to support employee well-being proactively. Employee Assistance Programs and wellness resources are key, with 70% of HR professionals reporting that these initiatives positively impact engagement, absenteeism, and retention.
"As we face significant barriers to care across Canada, workplace health and wellness initiatives are more than just a benefit offered by employers; they're a strategic investment," said Dr. Marc Robin, Medical Director at Dialogue. "Organizations that prioritize employee well-being see not only healthier, happier workforces but also a measurable return through increased productivity and engagement by fostering a culture of resilience."
The complete list of winners can be found below:
- Organizations with 1–250 employees
- Organizations with 251–2,000 employees
