DALLAS, TEXAS – Sendero, a full-service management consulting firm dedicated to delivering results and unleashing potential for its clients and community, has been recognized by Cigna Healthcare with a gold-level Healthy Workforce Designation for demonstrating a strong commitment to improving the health and vitality of its employees through its well-being program.
Since 2023, Sendero has fostered an internal well-being initiative in partnership with Cigna’s MotivateMe program. Through the program, employees can earn points and prizes by completing activities that support physical, social, and emotional wellness. In addition, Sendero regularly hosts employee wellness events, including an indoor cycling class and a team-based step challenge.
“We’re thrilled to be recognized with the Cigna Healthy Workforce Designation for the second year in a row,” said Melody Mattox, Chief People Officer, Sendero. “This partnership with Cigna enables our team to develop engaging programming that promotes wellness among each of our employees.”
Vitality is defined as the capacity to pursue life with health, strength, and energy. It is both a driver and an outcome of health and work/life engagement, and Cigna Healthcare believes it is essential to individuals, business, and communities. Research conducted as part of the Evernorth Vitality Index confirms that those with higher vitality experience better mental and physical health along with higher levels of job satisfaction and performance. An opportunity remains for employers as less than one in five U.S. adults report having high levels of vitality. A workplace well-being program that takes a comprehensive approach to employee health can be critical in boosting vitality and building a workforce that experiences better overall health and job productivity.
“Higher vitality is linked to a more motivated, connected, and productive workforce,” said Kari Knight Stevens, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, The Cigna Group. “Employers that foster vitality will fuel a healthier workplace and drive business and economic growth. That’s why we’re proud to recognize employers for their efforts to prioritize multiple dimensions of wellness, build a culture of health, and boost employee engagement.”
The Cigna Healthy Workforce Designation evaluates organizations based on the core components of their well-being program, including leadership and culture, program foundations and execution, policies and accommodations, and additional areas. Organizations recognized with this designation set the standard of excellence for organizational health and vitality.
