SAN DIEGO, March 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The San Diego and Fort Worth offices of American Specialty Health Incorporated (ASH) have again been named among the Best and Brightest Companies in the nation by the National Association for Business Resources (NABR).
ASH's San Diego office was recognized as the "Best of the Best Wellness Provider" Elite Winner for the second consecutive year, and also received "San Diego's Best and Brightest in Wellness" Award for the fifth consecutive year.

"Our teams were especially tested this year during the pandemic. We're extremely proud that this challenge did not diminish our ability to respond, but instead reinforced our abilities to pivot quickly and thoughtfully to meet the situation. As a key national provider of fitness, wellness, and other health benefit services for many of the nation's top health plans and employer groups, we responded by launching new programs and expanding capabilities to support the needs of our clients, members, and business partners, while simultaneously supporting our 1,300 employees as they transitioned to a work-from-home setting."
"Throughout 2020, the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® demonstrated leadership and forward thinking as they pivoted their businesses and workforces through Covid-19, and were a voice for important actions regarding race relations and employee wellbeing," said Jennifer Kluge, President and CEO, Best and Brightest Programs.
Award winners were evaluated based on key measures in various categories, including: Compensation, Benefits and Employee Solutions; Employee Enrichment, Engagement and Retention; Employee Education and Development; Recruitment, Selection and Orientation; Employee Achievement and Recognition; Communication and Shared Vision; Diversity and Inclusion; Work-Life Balance; Community Initiatives; and Strategic Company Performance.
