Mindbody, a provider of business management technology to the health, wellness, and beauty industries, with offices at the Red Horse Plaza in East Hampton, has once again landed on Outside magazine’s “Best Places to Work” list.

It is the company’s third such honor, following appearances on the active-lifestyle and adventure-travel magazine’s list in 2010 and again last year. The list is determined through employee-satisfaction surveys that compile information about benefits, compensation, policies, job satisfaction, environmental initiatives, and community outreach programs. In another recent honor, Mindbody was ranked number 20 among the “50 best medium-sized companies to work for” in the 2014 Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Awards.

Founded in 2000, Mindbody was a pioneer in multilocation desktop-management software, online booking, and web-based business management. Its products include scheduling, payroll, point-of-sale, analytics, merchant account processing, and marketing and client retention tools. Headquartered in San Luis Obispo, Calif., the company also has offices in London and Sydney, Australia.

It released Mindbody Express, a mobile business management app, in 2012; Mindbody Connect, a consumer booking app, arrived the following year. This year, the company launched Mindbody Exchange, in which employees are offered a wellness program focused on healthy living choices. Under the program, employees receive Mindbody Exchange Wellness Cards, which they can use for services with the company’s global network of providers, including fitness classes, massage, acupuncture, fresh-produce deliveries, tobacco-cessation programs, recess activities, flu shots, and free fruit and infused water.

This year, the company held its first internal wellness challenge. Participants received gym memberships, personal training, nutritional consulting, and wearable fitness trackers. Over a three-month period, they collectively lost 644 pounds and 1,052 inches of waistline.

“Working at Mindbody is about much more than earning a paycheck,” Rick Stollmeyer, chief executive officer, said in a statement. “Our goal is to enable our team members to live lives full of purpose, meaning, and growth.”
