As a company committed to compassion and care, especially during
times of need, today Anthem announced new and expanded benefits to
support associates during this uncertain time.
“We believe living our mission to improve lives and communities
starts at home,” said Anthem President and CEO Gail K. Boudreaux.
“Offering new and expanded benefits is one way we can ensure we
support our associates as they work tirelessly to support our
members, customers, care providers and the community during this
challenging time. Their work is critical, and they are living our
values of community, agility and leadership every day.”
The expanded benefits include the following:
- To recognize the unusual circumstances and to help put
associates’ mind at ease, Anthem is offering up to 80 hours of paid
emergency leave for qualifying needs – including if associates are
experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, or are caring for young children
whose schools have been closed. We are also expanding the use of
sick time to include caregiving related to COVID-19.
- To support the transition of many of our associates who will be
working from home, hourly associates who do not currently have
internet access will be reimbursed for installation and monthly
internet service.
- To support our associates’ physical and mental health, we are
offering free workouts through our health and wellness app, Engage,
and through other fitness tools, such as Wellbeats.
The safety, health and wellbeing of our associates remains our
top priority as we face these challenges together, and continue our
work in support of those we serve.
