Cigna has selected Richland County Government, South Carolina,
as a winner of the annual Cigna Well-Being Award for demonstrating
a strong commitment to improving the health and wellness of its
employees through a workplace wellness program. Richland County’s
Human Resource Department developed a five-year health and wellness
strategic plan. The Cigna MotivateMe program identifies and tracks
key metrics and analyzes and pinpoints trends to help improve
employee health care. Employees who participate in the program
receive a $600 premium reduction for the year and it’s tracked
through Cigna's MotivateMe program.
“Cigna is honored to recognize Richland County’s leadership in
driving affordability and personalization for their employees.
Cigna has always been a leader in health improvement in the
workplace and we are committed to recognizing programs such as
Richland’s,” said Charlie Pitts, General Manager for Cigna.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), U.S. employers lose more than $225 billion each year in
productivity due to employee health problems. Cigna created the
Well-Being Award to recognize employer clients that have a positive
impact on the health and well-being of their workforce.
“The health and wellness of Richland County employees and
retirees has been one of our top priorities for many years,” said
Dwight Hanna, Richland County Human Resources Director. “We’re
extremely honored to be selected as a winner of the Cigna
Well-Being Award.”
Hanna said the combination of Cigna's technology platform and
first-class professionals assigned to work with the County has
resulted in numerous benefits. Cigna helped Richland County
automate its wellness program, eliminating the reliance on paper
records. Additionally, various wellness incentive options have
helped many employees and retirees achieve healthy lifestyle
goals.
“Cigna has been an awesome partner for Richland County,” Hanna
said.
Applicants for the award are evaluated based on the core
components of their wellness program, including the goals,
implementation, incentives, leadership engagement and employee
participation. All applications are reviewed and judged by an
internal review committee from Cigna.
