Winners:

Best health care & well-being

• Premera Blue Cross
• Allyis
• Microsoft

It makes sense that a health care company should offer great benefits to its employees, and Premera is no exception. Minimal payroll deductions and out-of-pocket expenses, a ton of on-the-job health awareness programs, and a nurse line were just a few of the perks employees raved about. Employees of staffing company Allyis praised the respect and care employees get when emergencies (or even just illness) crop up. And over at Microsoft "everything is covered," boasts one employee. "We haven't spent a single cent in the last seven years out of our pocket for any health issue. We had two kids during this time too!"
