H/L Recognised with 2024 Cigna Healthy Workforce Designation
Cigna Healthcare has selected H/L as a recipient of their 2024 gold-level Healthy Workforce Designation for demonstrating a strong commitment to improving the health and vitality of its employees through a workplace well-being program.
H/L prioritises employee well-being through a comprehensive range of workplace health initiatives that support work-life balance, financial stability, and overall wellness. The Productivity Work Model provides a flexible work environment to enhance efficiency and personal time. Financial well-being support includes semi-annual educational webinars with a retirement broker, while fitness flexibility offers gym allowances, fitness challenges, and wellness events. Employees receive family support through paid family leave and have access to mental health programs featuring therapy, mindfulness sessions, and stress-reduction workshops. Annual open enrolment support webinars ensure clarity on benefits offerings, and wellness bonuses recognise employees’ health achievements and participation.
“At H/L, our top priority is the well-being of our employees, and we are honoured to receive the Cigna Healthy Workforce Designation,” said Van Nguyen, HR manager at H/L. “We recognise that a healthy workforce is key to fostering a supportive workplace culture, increasing engagement, and driving overall success. Knowing there’s always room for growth, we continuously listen to employee feedback to refine and enhance the benefits that matter most to them.”
The Cigna Healthy Workforce Designation evaluates organisations based on the core components of their well-being program, including leadership and culture, program foundations and execution, policies and accommodations, and additional areas. Organisations recognised with this designation set the standard of excellence for organisational health and vitality. Cigna Healthcare is proud to honour H/L with the gold level designation for having made strong progress towards a healthy work culture by establishing and growing their employee well-being and engagement program.
Vitality is defined as the capacity to pursue life with health, strength and energy. It is both a driver and an outcome of health and work/life engagement, and Cigna Healthcare believes it is not only essential to individuals, but also a catalyst for business and community growth. Research conducted as part of the Evernorth Vitality Index confirms that those with higher vitality experience better mental and physical health along with higher levels of job satisfaction and performance. An opportunity remains for employers as less than one in five U.S. adults report having high levels of vitality. A workplace well-being program that takes a comprehensive approach to employee health can be critical in boosting vitality and building a workforce that experiences better overall health and job productivity.
“Higher vitality is linked to a more motivated, connected, and productive workforce,” said Kari Knight Stevens, executive vice president and chief human resources officer, The Cigna Group. “Employers that foster vitality will fuel a healthier workplace and drive business and economic growth. That’s why we’re proud to recognise employers for their efforts to prioritise multiple dimensions of wellness, build a culture of health, and boost employee engagement.”
