ATS is recognized for its meaningful commitment to the health, happiness and whole-person well-being of its employees.
RESTON, Va. – September 22, 2026 – Acclaim Technical Services (ATS) is proud to announce that it has received a gold-level Aetna® Workplace Well-being Award, recognizing the organization’s commitment to helping employees live healthier, more supported lives.
The Aetna Workplace Well-being Award recognizes organizations that take a holistic approach to employee health and wellness—bringing together leadership support, workplace programs and meaningful employee engagement to create a culture of health and well-being.
At ATS, supporting employee whole-person health is an important part of our culture and business strategy. ATS maintains a defined well-being strategy with clear focus areas, reflected in the organization’s strategic priorities and addressing several social determinants of health. That strategy reaches employees through a multi-channel communications program and a year-round mix of preventive care incentives, whole-person programs, in-person community events across our Reston, Virginia and Hanover, Maryland offices, virtual participation options for remote and hybrid staff, philanthropic opportunities that connect employees to their communities, and benefits such as Race to Wellness, which reimburses employee race registration fees up to $150 per year, retirement planning seminars through www.principal.com and virtual counseling and therapy through Talkspace or referrals for WorkLife Services through Health Advocate.
“Our people are at the heart of everything we do,” says Shawn Clark, Chief Administrative Officer at Acclaim Technical Services. “This recognition reflects the ongoing commitment of our employees, leaders and well-being champions who help foster a workplace where health, connection and growth are priorities.”
ATS was recognized for its commitment to employee well-being with achievements in the following areas:
- A well-being strategy embedded in how the company operates. ATS has an established well-being strategy with clear focus areas that addresses several social determinants of health, and well-being is reflected in the organization’s strategic priorities and culture rather than treated as a standalone benefit.
- Creative, whole-person programming and preventive care incentives. ATS offers a variety of incentive-eligible activities with a focus on preventive care — including strong employee participation in the Vital Visits program — alongside the Race to Wellness benefit, which reimburses race registration fees up to $150 per year, and creative initiatives such as the Backyard BRR Challenge, company pickleball events, virtual participation options and philanthropic opportunities.
- A communications program that reaches employees, and evaluation that improves the work. ATS runs a detailed communication plan across multiple platforms with informative, visually engaging materials, and measures progress on participation and engagement — using that data to refine program formats and offerings, and sharing results with leadership and well-being champions on a regular basis.
“Congratulations to Acclaim Technical Services on this achievement,” says Suzanne Breda, Aetna Account Manager. “Their commitment to employee well-being demonstrates how organizations can create supportive workplace cultures that help employees feel valued, supported and able to thrive.”
