customers around the world," said Cigna's Vice President of
Diversity, Inclusion, Civic Affairs, and the Cigna Foundation Susan
Stith. "We're honored to be recognized for exceeding all
benchmarks as we continue to be proactive in enhancing our
workforce policies that acknowledge the challenges faced by active
duty families and employees who are transitioning into their
post-military career."
