The Cigna Group ranked No. 14 on the Fair360, formerly DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity list in 2023.
Cigna has shared four ways companies can help employees maximize their benefits.
Health insurance literacy is low in the workforce. Employers spend an additional $26 for every employee with low health insurance literacy. Additionally, $4.8 billion is wasted annually in the United States due to this lack of understanding about health insurance.
One in four employees say their companies don’t clarify which benefits are available to them, and 64% of employees listed pay and benefits as a top reason for leaving their jobs.
Improving communication about the benefits that are available to employees can help them make better decisions about their health, increase employee satisfaction and help lower organizational costs.
Cigna listed four ways to help employees maximize their benefits:
- Communicate in a simple way
- Use benefit templates
- Communicate benefits to employees in the best way possible
- Prioritize family health
