Panda Restaurant Group—parent company of the popular Asian eateries Panda Express, Panda Inn, and Hibachi-San—is investing in the health and well-being of its employees. The family-owned company offered a comprehensive wellness program even before COVID-19, and after the pandemic hit, it implemented a redesign to better promote available services. The organization also offers monthly webinars on wellness topics, publishes a monthly wellness newsletter, and provides access to workouts and meditation via a partnership with the app Wellness Coach. Panda even promotes financial health through the educational platform My Secure Advantage. “Panda Express is all about people’s growth,” says one employee. “It’s not just like you’re another employee or another part of the operation.” Read the Great Place to Work review.
