Isagenix Named One Of Arizona’s Most Admired Companies

Isagenix International, a global health and wellness company providing nutrition and lifestyle solutions, has been selected as one of the 2018 Arizona’s Most Admired Companies by Arizona Business Magazine. There were 187 entries for the award this year, the most in its history. Isagenix was one of 55 honorees.

Arizona’s Most Admired Companies were chosen based on performance in five areas: workplace culture, leadership excellence, corporate and social responsibility, customer opinion, and innovation.

“This is the most comprehensive corporate awards program in Arizona, and due to the breadth of the areas it examines, companies who are selected join a prestigious group of employers in Arizona,” said Denise Gredler, founder and CEO of BestCompaniesAZ and co-founder of the Most Admired Companies program. “This program recognizes the wonderful contributions and impact these most admired companies bring to the state.”

Isagenix Chief Executive Officer Travis Ogden said the company is honored to receive the award.

“We strive for excellence in every area of the business, and our reputation as an exceptional health and wellness company and employer is important to us, so I’m thrilled Isagenix was named one of Arizona’s Most Admired Companies,” he said. “We thank Arizona Business Magazine and BestCompaniesAZ for this honor and congratulate all the winners. We’re humbled to share this recognition with them.”

The company’s award submission highlights include:

• Workplace culture: The company provides exceptional healthcare benefits as well as a friendly, engaging atmosphere with fun activities such as an employee appreciation event with food trucks, games, and music for employees and their families. A unique offering is the Employee IsaBody Challenge®, a 16-week health transformation program. In 2018, 353 headquarters employees participated in the Challenge, losing a combined total of 1,498 pounds.
• Leadership excellence: The high-caliber leadership team behind the company’s growth and worldwide expansion has led the company to achieve $6 billion in cumulative global sales since its inception in 2002.
