IQ Solutions Recognized With Cigna Healthy Workforce Designation

Cigna has selected IQ Solutions as a recipient of their Gold-level Healthy Workforce Designation for demonstrating a strong commitment to improving the health and well-being of its employees through a workplace wellness program.

IQ Solutions’ Wellness for Life Program provides a large number of resources supporting a multi-dimensional approach to wellness initiatives. Further, IQ Solutions focuses its worksite policies on creating a safe, healthy, and supportive workplace for its employees. From offering quarterly wellness challenges focused on topics such as mindfulness and nutrition, to offering their employees free fitness classes, IQ Solutions engages its virtual workforce through meaningful well-being programs day-in and day-out. As a government contractor in the public health space, IQ Solutions truly “walks their talk” of health for their team.

“At IQ Solutions, employee health is our top priority; we are honored to be recognized with the Cigna Healthy Workforce Designation” noted Jillian Bernstein, Vice President of Human Resources. “We understand the important role employee well-being plays in a company’s success and the relationship between healthy employees contributing to a more productive, satisfied workforce and positive business performance.”

Investing in an effective workplace well-being program drives value for employers. Senior executives surveyed as part of an Economist Impact study commissioned by Cigna reported greater productivity, stronger staff morale and motivation, and greater retention and loyalty as the most significant business outcomes of a healthy workforce. Additionally, a Gallup report finds that, on average, companies with high employee engagement are 23 percent more profitable.

“As a consultative growth partner, Cigna knows that a healthy workforce is critical to business growth,” said Cindy Ryan, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer. “We are honored to recognize organizations like IQ Solutions who share our commitment to workplace wellness. Creating a healthy work culture is of critical importance, and many employers are seeing increased employee engagement, productivity, and retention as a result of whole-person health wellness initiatives.”

The Cigna Healthy Workforce Designation, formerly known as the Cigna Well-Being Award, evaluates organizations based on the core components of their well-being program, including leadership and culture, program foundations, program execution, and whole-person health. Organizations recognized with this designation set the standard of excellence for whole-organization health. Cigna is proud to honor IQ Solutions with the Gold-level designation for having made significant progress towards a healthy work culture by establishing and growing their employee well-being and engagement program.
