TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Bisk, one of the
nation's leading online program management companies, is proud to
announce that it has been named runner up for the 2017 Cigna
Well-Being Award. This honor recognizes companies for exceptional
commitment to improving employees' physical and emotional health
through workplace wellness programs. Bisk was presented with the
award Tuesday, Aug. 22, at the Cigna
Summit at the Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel & Marina.
"Bisk is honored to be recognized by Cigna," said Wendy Vera, Benefits and Wellness Manager with
the Tampa-based company. "Health
and wellness is an integral part of our culture. Our programs help
employees achieve their goals and improve their overall quality of
life. We're passionate about our employees' well-being and take
every opportunity to celebrate their success."
"Cigna is committed to creating a healthy workplace, and we are
pleased to recognize good partners like Bisk for their efforts to
improve employee wellness," said Dean
Mirabella, President of Cigna North Florida.
Bisk's workplace wellness program, Healthy U, inspires its more
than 700 employees to make healthy choices by supporting them
through physical activity classes, corporate competitions, wellness
visit incentives, blood pressure screenings, gym membership
discounts and weight management programs.
"Healthy U has influenced so many positive changes in my life,"
Bisk employee Alicia Starke said.
"Through all the various programs and information they offer, I
have learned how to embrace change and take control of my
health."
Bisk employees use Cigna's My Health Assistant to track their
wellness score to see where they need to improve, as well as to
measure progress on their annual wellness visits. My Health
Assistant also provides advice and resources for creating and
maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
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.
Applicants 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, multi-departmental review
committee from Cigna.
