Wellness That Works: Cigna Recognizes Kloeckner for Putting People First

Cigna Healthcare has recognized Kloeckner with the 2024 Silver-Level Healthy Workforce Designation, a national honor awarded to organizations that go above and beyond in supporting employee well-being.

At its core, this recognition is about more than programs or perks. It’s about building a workplace where people feel genuinely supported – physically, mentally, and financially. And that’s exactly what we’ve been working hard to build, from the ground up.

What Is the Cigna Healthy Workforce Designation?

Cigna’s Healthy Workforce Designation™ recognizes companies that make employee health a real priority, not just in words, but in action. They look at everything from leadership support to how well wellness is woven into the culture, and whether employees actually know about and use the resources available to them.

In other words, it’s a recognition for companies that prioritize wellness, day after day.

Why Kloeckner Was Recognized

We’re proud to say that Cigna called out some of the biggest ways we’re supporting our team, including:

A Well-Rounded Wellness Program

Our wellness approach is designed for real life and to meet people where they are. We support the full spectrum of health:

• Physical: onsite health screenings and wellness stipends
• Mental: $0-cost mental health visits, medications, and treatment, as well as a white-glove Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Financial: financial one-on-one coaching and educational resources to help employees plan for now and the future

Leadership That Walks the Talk

Wellness isn’t something we talk about once a year at open enrollment. Our leaders are an active part of the process, advocating for mental health, involving themselves in wellness events, and encouraging their teams to take advantage of what’s available.

We want our employees to see their leaders prioritize their well-being, and it sends the message that it’s okay and encouraged to take care of yourself.

Making Mental Health Care Easier

We know how hard it can be to ask for help, so we’re removing the roadblocks. That includes eliminating out-of-pocket costs for mental health visits, prescriptions, and treatment. We also launched an anti-stigma campaign to help normalize the conversation.

Clear, Consistent Communication

It’s not enough to have great benefits; we want our team to know about them, too. Through newsletters, posters, events, and our amazing Wellness Ambassadors, we’re making sure the message gets out.

The Work Is Far From Over

Being recognized by Cigna is a huge honor. But for us, it’s not about the award, it’s about the people behind it.

We’re proud of what we’ve built so far, but we’re not slowing down. Our wellness program is growing, and we’re constantly finding new ways to support our team. Because when our people feel better, supported, and seen? That’s when we’re at our best, as a team and as a business.

Thank You!

To our HR team, our Wellness Ambassadors, and every single employee who’s joined a wellness event, taken a health screening, used the EAP, or encouraged a coworker. You made this happen. Thank you for being part of something bigger.

Here’s to a stronger, healthier Kloeckner!
