It’s no secret that the world of benefits is going through a time of change. But this year’s Excellence in Benefits Award winners are more than up to the task. 

These HR leaders, tech innovators and benefit advisers are pushing employers and employees to think outside of the box — they’re creating better benefits around healthcare and well-being, changing the cultural conversation around mental health, child care and financial wellness, and striving everyday to put people first. 

Throughout the pandemic, Bekki Early introduced a number of programs that helped employees prioritize their physical and mental health, and her efforts have produced a sea change in the culture at Equinix.

“One of the big initiatives this year is listening sessions to understand employees’ experience with the well-being program,” Early says. “Active listening creates a really nice dynamic of knowing you have a role in the company. I have a tremendous track record of acting upon the feedback. I’m going to put these things into action.”
