Beavercreek, OH – For the second consecutive year, Wright-Patt Credit Union, Inc. ® (WPCU®) was named the healthiest employer in Ohio in the “500 to 1,499 Employees” category in Springbuk’s 2025 Healthiest Employers of Ohio awards, a program created to honor people-first organizations that prioritize the well-being of their employee population. This is the fifth year in a row that WPCU has been recognized as a ranked state-wide recipient for this award.
“We are proud to be recognized alongside so many people-centric employers again this year,” commented Josh Hayes, Vice President of Human Resources at WPCU. “At Wright-Patt Credit Union, we are focused on helping our partner-employees progress on their individual wellness journeys, and we know that can look different for everyone. Our programs are built to be approachable and diverse enough to meet the needs of our entire population, no matter where their personal wellness journey is focused.”
In its write up on WPCU, Healthiest Employers called out WPCUs use of Lyra, a mental health benefit, “The addition of Lyra Health to Wright-Patt Credit Union’s wellness programs has been a standout enhancement over the past year…In 2024, 23% of partner-employees engaged with Lyra—8% above industry averages—with high provider retention and 89% showing improvement or recovery after eight sessions or fewer.”
Springbuk’s Healthiest Employers® is an annual awards program that recognizes organizations because of their commitment to workplace wellness and their exceptional health and benefits offerings. Winners of the awards are evaluated based on the proactive measures they take to support best-in-class workforce health, evaluated by Springbuk using their Healthiest Employers Index (HEI) scoring methodology.

The receipt of the 2025 Healthiest Employers® awards builds on a long history of workplace recognition awards. WPCU has been recently named one of Dayton’s “Best Places to Work” by the Dayton Business Journal, and the credit union has consistently received recognition as a best-in-class and healthiest employer, regionally, state-wide, and nationally.
As a result of the state-wide win, WPCU will also be in consideration for national recognition from Springbuk, which also named the organization a Healthiest 100 Workplace last year among all U.S. employers. 2025 national honorees will be announced this fall.
