Humana Recognized for outstanding commitment to
employee engagement and work-life effectiveness
Humana Inc.’s (NYSE: HUM) employee work-life environment has
been recognized by WorldatWork, a nonprofit HR association, with a
Work-Life Seal of Distinction for 2016. The seal is a unique mark
of excellence designed to identify organizational success in
work-life effectiveness and positive work environments.
Humana, one of the nation’s leading health and well-being
companies, is one of 116 global organizations to be honored as a
2016 recipient. Humana and all recipients will celebrate the honor
at a March 9 Gala Awards Dinner at the WorldatWork 2016 Future of
Work Forum in New Orleans.
“This recognition is shared among all Humana associates whose
strong commitment to building a positive culture supports our goal
to improve the health of the communities we serve and to help
people achieve lifelong well-being. That focus begins within our
own community and this award is a signal that we’re on the right
track,” said Tim State, Enterprise Vice President of Associate
Well-being for Humana.
Begun in 2012, the prestigious Work-Life Seal of Distinction
measures the overall strength of organizations’ work-life portfolio
and success in creating positive work environments.
Applicants are evaluated on work-life programs, policies and
practices that meet the needs and challenges facing employees today
including health and wellness, workforce experience and engagement,
and paid and unpaid time off. Humana was also evaluated for its
strengths in financial support for economic security, education for
its employees, community involvement, workplace flexibility, and
caring for employee dependents.
“The well-being innovation fostered by Humana has shown positive
behavior change in our associates and is being leveraged to help
our customers live healthier lives,” said Beth Bierbower, President
of Group Segment for Humana. “This represents a win-win for Humana
and our clients because consumer-engaged wellness programs lead to
lower overall health claims costs, fewer visits to the hospital and
fewer workplace absences.”
“We congratulate our 2016 recipients who represent a wide
variety of industries, demonstrating that enhancing employee
engagement and work-life effectiveness is a business imperative for
organizations of all sizes and strengths. These organizations are
the pinnacle of excellence in workplace strategies that enhance
employees’ lives,” said Anne Ruddy, president and CEO of
WorldatWork. Ruddy added, “By understanding the value of investing
in their employees, each organization has taken a critical step
toward future business success.”
This year’s recipients represent industries of education,
finance, government, health, law, manufacturing, and
pharmaceuticals – and hail from 30 states, the District of Columbia
and Canada. The 2016 list includes 49 new companies and shows 67
companies returning to the list from previous years. In addition,
53 organizations have workplaces outside of the United States.
