Step inside Healthwise http://healthwise.org/ headquarters nestled in Boise's Foothills on Bogus Basin Road, and you'll feel the pressure of a frantic day fade away.
A water feature and soft, natural colors and lighting relax visitors.
Most employees work in private offices off quiet hallways with glass-paneled doors and views of the surrounding Foothills. Some bring their dogs to work. They have trails out the back door, weekly yoga classes, a well-equipped exercise room, lockers, bikes for loan, wellness bucks earned for healthy behaviors and a nutritional, educational snack break.
"The wellness program has been part of the culture the whole time," said Jan Nissl, wellness coordinator and an 11-year employee. "A well workplace is a productive workplace. We support people trying to work from home when they're sick."
