The Workplace Health Achievement Index scores companies in seven
areas: leadership, engagement, programs, policies and environment,
partnerships, communications, and reporting outcomes.
The Index is a product of AHA’s CEO Roundtable, which
includes Humana President and CEO Bruce Broussard. The Roundtable
is dedicated to gathering and sharing the best evidence-based
approaches to workplace health to improve the well-being of our
nation’s companies, their employees and communities.
“Well-being drives our culture at Humana – for our associates
and all the people we serve – so we’re honored to receive this
recognition from the American Heart Association,” Broussard said.
“As a company, we’re experiencing more healthy days and less
stress, which inspires our workforce and makes our business
stronger. By paying attention to our own health journeys, we’re in
a better position to help our members with their health.”
Humana focuses on whole-person well-being, aiming to improve
every employee’s sense of purpose, health, belonging and security
to build a thriving workforce over the long term. The company has
seen positive trends, including:
- Healthier Days: 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.
- Declining risk. 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.
- Stress: Reported levels of
elevated stress declined approximately 10 percent from 2015 to
2016, indicating increased resiliency in the employee
population.
- Engagement. 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.
- Leader commitment. Approximately
9 out of 10 employees say Humana is committed to creating a work
environment that contributes to their health and well-being.
“Well-being is a powerful social movement at Humana, and it
brings our associates together like nothing else,” said Tim State,
Vice President, Associate Health and Well-being, “We’ve found
that as our health and well-being improve, we’re more productive,
engaged and effective across all aspects of our lives.”
Humana employees also enjoy benefits like flexible work
arrangements, financial planning and network resource groups.
Humana’s health and wellness rewards program, Go365, offers
personalized activities, tracking, support and rewards to encourage
healthier lifestyles.
Humana employees are allowed time off to volunteer, and the
response has exceeded expectations. By the end of 2016, 47 percent
of employees had logged volunteer time.
In addition, fun events like the annual 100 Day Dash keep
employees moving and allow them to challenge and encourage one
another. In 2017, Dashers logged 8.3 million miles of steps –
enough to circle Earth over 330 times. More than 23,000 people
participated in 2017.
This focus on holistic health means Humana employees have fewer
unhealthy days, less stress, and more engagement at work, creating
a passion for well-being that helps Humana inspire and encourage
others.
