Huntington Ingalls Industries’ (NYSE:HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding
division took top honors Wednesday in the Mississippi Business
Journal’s Healthiest Workplace Awards, placing first in the mega
large business category. The awards recognize employers throughout
the state who strive to provide exceptional employee health and
wellness programs and promote safe working environments.
“A company can only be as strong as its people,” said Ingalls
Shipbuilding President Brian Cuccias. “That is why Ingalls
Shipbuilding is dedicated to providing multiple health and wellness
services to our employees. From a state-of-the-art health center in
Gautier that provides timely, low-cost, high-quality health care to
employees and their families, to an employee resource program that
supports our shipbuilders overall health and well-being, Ingalls is
proud of the innovative and healthy ways we care for our
workforce.”

The Mississippi Business Journal highlighted Ingalls’
health-related program called “Be Well.” The “Be Well” program has
three health initiatives providing the basis for the company’s
health and wellness.
The HII Family Health Center, which celebrated its one-year
anniversary on July 1, provides off-site healthcare to Ingalls’
employees and their dependents. It has a staffed wellness team to
assist physicians in helping patients create and maintain a healthy
lifestyle, including nutrition and overall health counseling. The
health center, operated by QuadMed, also has an on-site pharmacy
where patients can receive prescriptions for as low as $3 a month
for a 30-day supply.
The Ingalls on-site wellness program operated by Interactive
Health provides on-site health screenings and flu shots and
facilitates company-wide physical activity challenges like the
Ingalls’ annual couch-to-5k competition, urging employees to
participate in the company’s annual 5K on the Causeway, which
benefits Special Olympics Mississippi. The company also has an
on-site fitness center with cardiovascular and strength equipment,
a full-court gym and various group exercise classes.
The employee assistance program serves employees’ mental health
by providing drug and alcohol addiction counseling among other
mental health services.
“We work very hard to keep an active and healthy workforce,”
said Program Manager Joni Goodman. “The ‘Be Well’ program provides
the health needs for all our employees. But what really makes
Ingalls stand apart is the care they take not only for their
employees, but for their families and the entire Gulf Coast
community.”
Mississippi’s Healthiest Workplace Awards program is a
collaborative effort made by the Mississippi Business Group on
Health, the Mississippi Business Journal, the Mississippi State
Department of Health and the Mississippi Association of
Self-Insurers.
