VANCOUVER, BC and TORONTO, Dec. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX: WELL) (OTCQX: WHTCF) ("WELL" or the "Company"), a digital healthcare company focused on positively impacting health outcomes by leveraging technology to empower healthcare practitioners and their patients globally, is pleased to announce that the Company has been certified as a Great Place to Work® by Great Place to Work Institute® Canada, and that three of its businesses have been granted ISO 27001 certifications.

Recognized globally as a leading and independent authority in workplace culture, Great Place to Work Institute® utilizes rigorous methodology in assessing organizational environments. The process of obtaining their Great Place to Work® certification involved a comprehensive analysis of employee feedback, complemented by in-depth interviews with WELL's management team. This comprehensive assessment, which led to WELL's certification, showcases the company's dedication to fostering a workplace culture that prioritizes trust, inclusivity, and the well-being of its employees.

Shane Sabatino, Chief People Officer at WELL, remarked, "Achieving the Great Place to Work® certification is a fantastic accolade for WELL and is as a reflection of the core values that we live by every day. This independent and arm's length certification represents the strength of the relationship we have with our employees – a relationship that is truly a two-way street. At WELL, we are committed to empowering our team members, and providing them with the support they need to thrive. In turn, this empowers them to contribute positively, not just to our company but also to the communities we serve. It helps in creating a cycle of empowerment and support that strengthens the very fabric of WELL. As WELL continues to grow, we see this certification, together with our winning culture, as vital in attracting and retaining top talent. It's a clear indicator to prospective employees that at WELL, they will find not only a workplace that values their contributions but also an environment where their professional growth and well-being is a top priority."

The Great Place to Work® certification also aligns closely with WELL's commitment to ESG principles, a core focus of the Company's mission. Central to this commitment is the 'Healthy Place to Work' pillar within WELL's ESG strategy, highlighting the company's dedication to creating a supportive and beneficial work environment. This pillar underscores WELL's approach to delivering social good, emphasizing the importance of employee wellness and satisfaction as key drivers of broader societal benefits. This recognition by Great Place to Work® serves as a clear indicator of WELL's ongoing efforts to not only lead in the digital health sector but also to uphold a high standard of corporate responsibility and social impact.

Some of the programs underpinning WELL's commitment to the wellness of all full-time, part-time, and casual team members include:

• WELL's mental health program with Focus Mental Wellness, a WELL Health Company, that provides team members access to qualified mental health therapists via video, phone, and even text. Typically, multiple free months of unlimited therapy is made available to not just team members but even family members, particularly in times of real global crisis.
  
  
• The WELL University program powered by SkillSoft-Percipio offers team members access to thousands of learning resources designed to support continual professional and personal improvement. "WELL U" aligns perfectly with the Company's culture of continuous improvement and learning.
  
  
• Bright Breaks provides all team members as well as medical practitioners and consultants with access to over 300 weekly classes spanning a spectrum of health topics including yoga, fitness, mindfulness, and more.

This reflects the Company's dedication to data security as a core aspect of corporate responsibility in the digital health sector. By prioritizing the protection of sensitive information, WELL reinforces its commitment to ethical practices and governance, strengthening trust among users and stakeholders and affirming its position as a responsible leader in healthcare technology.
