WEX Inc. (NYSE: WXS), a leading provider of corporate card
payment solutions, today announced that it has established a formal
partnership with Olympic gold medalist Joan Benoit Samuelson to
provide support to WEX employees as part of its WEX Living well
program. Benoit Samuelson is one of Maine’s most recognizable
athletes and winner of the first women’s Olympic marathon.
“WEX has long been committed to supporting a healthy lifestyle
and we are excited to partner with Joan to enhance WEX Living well
for our employees and their families,” said Michael E. Dubyak,
chairman, president and CEO at WEX. “Joan was a guest speaker at a
WEX company meeting in 2012 where she encouraged our employees to
set their own personal health goals. Her “Run Your Own Race” talk
stressed the importance of setting daily, attainable goals,
monitoring your progress and adjusting your goals as your health
and fitness levels improve. As a follow up to that talk, Joan led
WEX employees on a 5k fun run that was very well attended. Her
enthusiasm and increased involvement in 2013 will bring us closer
to our goal of having all employees actively engaged in improving
their health and well being. At WEX, we see caring for one another
as empowering and our support of the WEX Living well program — and
our partnership with Joan — further demonstrates the respect we
have for all our associates.”
As the WEX Living well ambassador, Benoit Samuelson will support
WEX and its employees as they work to achieve WELCOA platinum
status — recognition awarded by the Wellness Council of America.
The WELCOA platinum award is granted to organizations forging new
ground by linking health promotion objectives to business
outcomes.
“I am honored to partner with WEX to provide healthy insights to
its employees via the next phase of WEX Living well,” said Benoit
Samuelson. “A healthy lifestyle is not just about running and
working out. It’s about making choices that lead to both a
fulfilling and rewarding lifestyle.”
