The Healthiest 100 is a national ranking determined by a
rigorous methodology and weighted across local and national
assessments. Scores are based on population health outcomes and six
values: vision, culture/engagement, learning, expertise, metrics
and technology.
By honoring organizations that proactively help their employees
improve their health, the awards highlight best practices and
provide valuable insight into managing population health.
“We’re proud to receive this recognition because it reflects all
the hard work our associates have done together in improving their
well-being,” said Tim Huval, Humana Senior Vice President and Chief
Human Resources Officer. “Tending to our own lives helps us
understand and empathize with our members as they strive toward
their own best health. By increasing the number of healthy days and
lowering stress in our own population, we can lead by example and
create healthier environments for our customers.”
Humana takes a broad view of well-being, one that encompasses
multiple aspects of health but also employees’ sense of purpose,
belonging, and security. This effort to improve the “whole-person”
has measurably improved employees’ physical and emotional
resilience, as evidenced through more healthy days and less stress.
Goals are set for improvement for the company and its teams, and
outcomes studied and celebrated.
It’s a collective journey, and employees challenge and encourage
one another. Well-being has become ingrained in the culture and is
the No.1 topic on Humana’s internal social media channels.
Employees engage in a variety of experiences for their well-being,
including the annual 100 Day Dash. More than a step challenge, the
Dash is a fun competition that’s become a cultural rallying cry. In
2017, more than 23,000 Dashers logged 8.3 million miles of steps –
enough to circle Earth over 330 times.
Humana employees also enjoy benefits like flexible work
arrangements, volunteer time off, network resource groups, and
financial counseling. Humana’s health and wellness rewards program,
Go365, offers personalized activities, tracking, support and
rewards to encourage healthier lifestyles.
The effects on well-being have been impressive. Humana’s
employee population has seen an improvement in mental and physical
health as measured by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention’s (CDC) Healthy Days. The number of unhealthy days in a
given 30-day period went from 5.6 in 2014 to 5.2 in 2016.
Employees with Humana since 2012 have fewer health risks on
average than three years ago, with 7 out of 10 people either
sustaining or improving their health risk profile. The percentage
of employees who had elevated blood pressure declined by 33 percent
from 2012 to 2016. In addition, reported levels of elevated stress
declined approximately 10 percent from 2015 to 2016, indicating
increased resiliency in the employee population.
Humana has seen world-class employee engagement levels -- in the
top 10th percentile globally -- for the past five years. Each of
those years, a top driver most correlated with engagement has been
the company’s commitment to employees’ well-being. And
approximately 9 out of 10 employees say Humana is committed to
creating a work environment that contributes to their health and
well-being.
Humana is committed to the health and well-being of all the
communities it serves. The company’s Bold Goal is to make the
communities it serves 20 percent healthier by 2020 by making it
easy for people to achieve their best health. Humana employees had
an even more ambitious goal, aiming to meet that metric by the end
of 2017, and they’re on track to do so. This is the second such
award in a week for Humana. The company earned Gold status in the
American Heart Association’s Workplace Health Achievement
Index, placing the company’s comprehensive workplace health
efforts among the best in the nation.
