Bellevue, Wash. (PRWEB) December 04, 2014 -- Edifecs, Inc., a global health information technology solutions company, announced today it was named a silver winner of the Best Places to Work category: Best in Biz Awards 2014, the only independent business awards program judged by members of the press and industry analysts.
The company was recognized as a Best Place to Work for offering employees premier benefits packages including onsite wellness fairs and free biometric testing, smoking cessation programs and Health Savings Plans with generous employer contributions.
Additionally, Edifecs' new company headquarters offers many world-class amenities, including:
•Free onsite fitness trainer offering more than 30 hours per week of classes, along with one-on-one training sessions and nutritional counseling.
•Herman Miller desks that can be electronically raised to standing position.
•Free selection of healthy-only food and beverages, including a freshly squeezed orange juice machine.
