Awards honor companies that build and maximize
an effective workplace culture of health
Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) has again earned top Gold status in the
American Heart Association’s Workplace Health Achievement Index, a
self-assessment scorecard that measures the comprehensiveness and
quality of a company’s workplace health program, and the overall
heart health of its employees.
The index, produced by the Association’s Center for Workplace
Health Research and Evaluation, measures multiple organizational
best practices and compares that data across peer companies. Humana
scored in the 99th percentile overall among over 1,000 companies,
demonstrating excellence in multiple best-practice areas –
including leadership, communications, programs, engagement and
partnerships.
This is the second year that the AHA has offered Gold-level
recognition, and the second year that Humana has been honored.
“Humana employees have embraced the common cause of well-being,
and together we’ve achieved a heightened sense of purpose,
belonging, health and security,” said Tim State, Senior Vice
President of Associate Health and Well-being at Humana. “There’s
tremendous energy and power that comes from thousands of unique and
personal well-being journeys evolving into a social movement we
share. That’s the Humana community, and we’re proud of our
commitment to better care for ourselves, our peers and our
customers.”
The Workplace Health Achievement Index fulfills the vision of
the CEO Roundtable, which called on the AHA to deliver an
evidence-based approach to measure and recognize success in
improving employee health and the corporate culture of health.
Research shows that comprehensive programs, policies and practices
-- supported by leadership and fully implemented -- are associated
with improved employee health and well-being.
Humana’s commitment to health and well-being is exemplified by
the company’s Bold Goal -- to improve the health of the
communities it serves 20 percent by 2020 by making it easier for
people to achieve their best health.
Over five years, Humana employees led from the front on the Bold
Goal, improving their own well-being and gaining 1.8 million more
Healthy Days by the end of 2017 than they would have otherwise
experienced.
Humana’s research shows that employees with high overall
well-being experience three times less stress, miss three times
less work, are less likely to look for another job, and are more
engaged.
Despite aging five years, 63 percent of continuously employed
Humana employees since 2012 reduced or maintained biometric health
risks associated with chronic disease, reversing the expected
trend.
Humana’s annual 100 Day Dash continues to unite and inspire
employees, with more than 20,000 Dashers taking nearly 14 billion
steps this year. And Humana’s health and wellness rewards
program, Go365, offers personalized activities, tracking,
support and rewards to encourage healthier lifestyles.
For more than half a century, Humana has cared for people and
guided them toward their own best health. That sense of purpose
continues to thrive among the company’s employees, making them
stronger, healthier and more resilient.
