Alight, Inc. (NYSE: ALIT), a leading cloud-based human capital and technology-enabled services provider, today announced it has been recognized as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Mental Wellbeing in 2025 by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group. The prestigious recognition is granted through a rigorous evaluation based on an assessment of publicly accessible data, discussions and interviews with HR professionals and large-scale confidential online surveys conducted among U.S. employees working for U.S. companies.

"Alight’s recognition as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Wellbeing in 2025 underscores our commitment to fostering a workplace culture that prioritizes a comprehensive wellbeing approach across mind, body, wallet and life," said Xan Daniels, Vice President of global inclusion and diversity at Alight. "The recognition extends beyond our policies and programs; it highlights the culture we have collectively built as colleagues, characterized by compassion, support and authenticity.”

Alight’s commitment to mental wellbeing

Alight's commitment to employee mental health includes hosting Mindful Mondays with guided meditation sessions and leveraging its partner network to provide colleagues with personalized wellbeing solutions that help address stress, burnout, agility and engagement.

Additionally, Alight’s formal mentorship programs and Care Circles facilitate connections and foster mutual support among employees, ensuring that mental wellbeing remains a priority across all levels of the organization. The company has grown and initiated colleague-led communities (CLCs), serving as employee resource groups to promote cultural awareness, professional development and networking. These CLCs constitute an integral component of Alight's commitment to prioritizing mental health and wellbeing by:

Serving as conduits for knowledge exchange and peer-to-peer connection.
Providing a robust support system for employees, facilitating education, personal growth and the exchange of ideas.
Offering resources and initiatives aimed at holistic wellbeing, including mental health support.

Alight’s community and collaborative efforts

As a presenting sponsor for the National Alliance on Mental Illness of New York City’s (NAMI-NYC) Mental Health Collaborative, Alight supports connecting and supporting employers committed to promoting mental health among their employees. Additionally, Alight is a member of NAMI StigmaFree Workplace, a comprehensive initiative designed to promote mental health awareness, support and community within organizations. Alight also serves as a sponsor for the Mental Health Association of Greater Chicago 6x6 Breakfast Series, addressing the diverse challenges faced by today's youth, and supporting mental health within the Chicago community, as well as sponsors Loyola University Chicago’s Health Equity Quest, an annual initiative that highlights innovative approaches to address pressing health equity challenges.

“The modern workplace is evolving, and with it, expectations around employee wellbeing. As conversations about mental health become more prominent, companies across the U.S. are taking steps to create environments where employees feel supported, valued and empowered to bring their best selves to work,” said Jennifer H. Cunningham, Editor-in-Chief at Newsweek. “To highlight the companies truly excelling at this, Newsweek and market-data research firm Plant-A Insights are proud to present America’s Greatest Workplaces for Mental Wellbeing 2025, recognizing companies with mentally healthy workplaces where employees can truly thrive.”

In addition to this recognition, Alight has also been named a Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® in 2024 by Great Place To Work® and Fortune magazine.
