Awards recognize Humana’s Workplace Voluntary
Benefit and integration product category executive
Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), a leading health and well-being
company, has won two Stevie® Awards – one for its Workplace
Voluntary Benefit (WVB) well-being benefit and one for Sharon
Parsons, Humana’s integration product category leader – in the 13th
annual Stevie Awards for Women in Business.
Humana’s Workplace Voluntary Benefit (WVB) well-being benefit
won a Bronze Stevie Award in the Best New Product or Service of the
Year - Business Products and Services category. Meanwhile, Sharon
Parsons received a Bronze Stevie Award in the Employee of the Year
- Business - All Other Industries category.
Launched in 2016, Humana’s WVB well-being benefit is designed to
help employers engage their employees in healthy lifestyle choices
by incentivizing employees to enroll in and complete wellness
programs that are offered on almost all employer wellness programs.
In addition to being first-to-market, the WVB benefit was nominated
for its innovative approach to outcomes-based benefits that tie
into existing wellness programs and the positive feedback Humana
has received within its distribution channels.
In her role, Parsons spearheads the product development efforts
for Humana’s dental, vision and WVB product portfolios. She was
nominated for leading the simultaneous launches of Humana’s new
vision and WVB benefits in early 2016. In the past year, Parsons
has been elected to the Product Development and Management
Association’s board of directors and recognized as one of the Top
25 Rising Stars of Distribution Under 40 by LIMRA.
“We are honored to have Sharon recognized by the 13th annual
Stevie® Awards for Women in Business for her contributions to women
in business, as well as our Workplace Voluntary Benefit for
providing a tool to help employees achieve their best health,” said
Beth Bierbower, President, Group Segment at Humana. “Through
Sharon’s leadership and her team’s work in successfully launching
this innovative benefit, we are better positioned to achieve our
bold goal of helping the communities we serve become 20 percent
healthier by 2020.”

organizations they run. All individuals and organizations worldwide

Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word for “crowned,” the
awards were presented to winners on Friday, Nov. 18, 2016, during a
dinner event attended by more than 500 people at the Marriott
Marquis Hotel in New York City. The event was broadcast on

the Year, Women Helping Women, and Women Run Workplace of the Year,
among others.
Stevie Award winners were selected by more than 160
professionals worldwide who participated in the judging process
this year.
“Each year we think the quality of achievements portrayed in
Stevie-winning nominations couldn’t possibly get any better, and
each year the amazing women who are recognized in this program
prove us wrong,” said Michael Gallagher, Stevie Awards founder and
president. “We are thrilled and humbled to be able to recognize so
many outstanding women in the Stevie Awards for Women in Business,
and to share the stories of their achievement with the world.”
