Healthiest Office
Kayaking to Work in Virginia
Healthy culture starts at the top. At Wheeler (WHLR), a real estate investment company headquartered in Virginia Beach, the CEO sets the pace. Passionate about both real estate development and fitness, Jon Wheeler designed a “walking office” giving employees room to stroll between break rooms and offices. That space, meanwhile, sits atop an on-site gym with complimentary yoga, massage, and personal training sessions. But wait, there’s more: Down the street employees can take out a complementary kayak or canoe on the Lynnhaven River. How’s all this working out for Wheeler? The company was deemed one of the Top 15 Fittest Companies in America, and earned a local Wellness in the Workplace Award from the Virginia Business Coalition on Health. Oh, and the company represents over four million square feed of property. Count it!
