For the second consecutive year, Bolster is recognized by the San Francisco Business Times and Silicon Valley Business Journal among the Top 5 Best Places to Work in the San Francisco Bay Area out of companies our size. We also ranked first in the wellness category.

Additionally, the company offers mental health benefits and resources for employees that are easy-to-use and destigmatize the need for help.
Setting the Standard for Wellness
Being recognized as the top organization for health and wellness illustrates Bolster’s care to create and develop extensive wellness programs that support and encourage healthy lifestyles for its employees.
From online support for mental health needs for Bolster employees and their families, to the opportunity to spend recognition points on wellness initiatives like gym memberships and personal fitness equipment, Bolster has prioritized our employee holistic wellness.
“Caring for employee mental health and wellness is a critical investment for any organization that values their employees’ holistic well-being,” says Valeroso. “Investing in employee wellness doesn’t just benefit the individual employee; it also affects the collective well-being of our entire organization. By providing access to mental health resources, wellness programs, and other support systems, we are empowering our employees to stay healthy, manage stressors, and utilize preventative measures for their long-term well-being.”
This award signals that Bolster is a company that genuinely cares about its employees’ health and well-being and is willing to invest in creating a supportive and productive work environment. By providing a comprehensive range of wellness programs and benefits, we are proud to set a standard for other organizations to follow.
