Best Places to Work: ABC Financial Services

It should not come as a surprise that a company created to serve the fitness industry puts an emphasis on wellness and physical activity.

ABC Financial Services, which offers technology and billing services to more than 8,000 clubs in the United State, Puerto Rico Canada and Mexico, offers employees an annual wellness week that includes a free flu shot, fitness competitions and checks for blood pressure, hearing and the spine. Lunch and learn sessions help employees gain a better understanding of how to live a healthy lifestyle.

Throughout the year ABC Financial Services workers participate in activities including a ping pong tournament, bike rides, 5K events, physical scavenger hunts and an inflatable obstacle course. Participants in a company-wide wellness competition can earn points toward incentives that include gift cards and healthy snacks.

Care for mental and financial health are also offered through an employee assistance program. Assistance is also available for substance and gambling abuse.

Stress management seminars and classes are also provided.

ABC Financial Service’s telecommute policy is so relaxed that more than 400 positions are work-from-home with little or no travel. The work-from-home policy also allows the company to be more accommodating for employees with disabilities.
