We take our annual Volleyball Tournament very seriously around here, with food trucks, associate-curated music playlists, and a live stream so the rest of the team can tune in throughout the day. Counting down until next year! Congratulations to our tournament winners, Tru-ly Pumped!
Our Executive Leadership Team traded boardrooms for breakfast duty at our 20/20 Grille. Great food, great conversations, and a great reminder of what makes 1-800 Contacts such a one-of-a-kind place to work. Thank you to all who made this delicious morning possible.
We are excited to announce that SeekWell, 1-800 Contact's parent company, received the 2026 Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award for employee engagement! This award recognizes companies that set the standard for building high-performance cultures—places where employees feel valued, heard, and equipped to do their best work. This honor is even more meaningful to us knowing it was awarded based on feedback from our own associates. Eligibility was determined by the results of our 2025 Engagement Survey, which 94% of our associates participated in. We are grateful to have such an engaged workforce that is willing to provide feedback so we can continuously improve their experience and purposefully build a culture we are proud of.
1-800 Contacts was honored to take part in the Utah Women & Leadership Project’s (UWLP) “100 Companies Championing Women in 2025: Best Practices for Utah Companies” study. Since 2022, this initiative has highlighted Utah companies with family-friendly policies and programs aimed at recruiting, hiring, retaining, and advancing women at all levels of business. The resulting annual Research & Policy Brief serves as a resource for other companies hoping to adopt forward-thinking policies and practices.

We’re proud (and honestly, a little giddy) to share that 1-800 Contacts has been named one of Forbes’ Best Midsize Employers for 2025! This recognition is based on genuine feedback from our employees and reaffirms what we’ve always believed: working here is more than just a job. It’s about being part of a team that’s Better Together—a place where we lead with heart, support each other, and make a meaningful impact every day. We're especially proud of our team today.
Happy hour was our favorite meeting of the week! Our team put on a great event that allowed associates to log off and enjoy a cocktail or mocktail. It was a great afternoon spent together getting to know each other. Which of our specialty drinks would you order? Cheers! #HappyHour #Cocktails #Mocktails
Our associates had the incredible honor of marching alongside Encircle at this year’s Salt Lake City Pride Parade! Encircle is an inspiring local nonprofit that empowers LGBTQ+ youth by providing resources that build confidence, foster connection, and create a strong sense of community. We’re proud to support Encircle and excited to continue growing our partnership. Wishing everyone a joyful and meaningful Pride Month! #Pride #Encircle #Community
SeekWell was proud to sponsor Encircle’s Only Love Gala, an inspiring evening dedicated to supporting LGBTQ+ youth and their families. The event featured unforgettable performances, including a showstopping appearance by the legendary Kristin Chenoweth. SeekWell associates walked the red carpet, shared a celebratory dinner, and embraced a night full of love, unity, and support for Encircle’s incredible mission. #Encircle #pride #event
Over the last ten years, we have held the Lensy Awards for our associates! An award show where we honor some of our record breakers and value champions across the organization. This year, dozens of winners were recognized! And, in honor of ten years of Lensy Awards, our Executive team even gave away family vacations to three incredible associates, entirely on us! We'll be waiting patiently until we can celebrate our associates again next year. #Recognition #LensyAwards #Values #RecordBreakers
At Seekwell, we want to set our associates up for success. That is why we have partnered with My Secure Advantage, allowing our associates to access financial tools and even receive one-on-one sessions with a money coach! We're excited to add this to our benefits list. Which benefit should we explore next? #Benefits #FinancialWellness #Money
