Medifast, the parent company of direct selling brand OPTAVIA, was recognized by US News & World Report as one of the nation’s Best Companies to Work For within the food and drink industry. This is the second consecutive year that Medifast has been included in this list.
“Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and our commitment goes beyond just offering a job–we strive to create an environment where every team member feels truly connected, empowered, and part of a larger mission,” said Claudia Greninger, Medifast Chief Human Resources Officer. “It is this inclusive and supportive atmosphere that enables us to inspire transformation not just in our customers’ lives, but in our own team as well. We believe that fostering a culture of growth and belonging is essential to achieving our mission and this recognition validates our efforts to build a workplace where everyone can bring their whole selves to work, innovate boldly, and make a significant impact every day.”
The ranking system for the list is determined based on six factors critical to employee well-being: quality of pay and benefits; work-life balance and flexibility; job and company stability; physical and psychological comfort; belongingness and esteem; and career opportunities and professional development.
“Being recognized once again as a top workplace highlights the unique culture we have built at Medifast,” said Dan Chard, Medifast Chairman and CEO. “Over the past year, we have undergone a significant business transformation, and the resilience, dedication, and passion of our employees played a significant role in driving us forward. Their commitment to excellence and willingness to embrace change have not only contributed to our accomplishments but also allowed us to continue to inspire positive change in countless lives through our OPTAVIA program. This recognition serves as a testament to the remarkable contributions of our team members, whose unwavering dedication continues to shape our journey towards a healthier, brighter future for all.”
