Company Earns Best Employers for Healthy
Lifestyles® Gold Award
Stepping up to make healthy choices isn’t always easy. But for
Assurant employees, taking extra steps to keep up the good work
with their health or stepping out during an organized walk or run
can be rewarding in many ways, even for the communities they
serve.
A provider of specialty protection products and related
services, Assurant earned a 2015 Best Employers for Healthy
Lifestyles® Gold Award from the National Business Group on Health
for its dedication to promoting a healthy work environment and
encouraging employees and their families to maintain healthy
lifestyles. This marks the fourth consecutive year the Company
received the Gold recognition from the non-profit association of
large U.S. employers.
“The Gold Award is a testament to Assurant and our employees’
commitment to leading healthier lifestyles,” said Robyn Price
Stonehill, executive vice president, chief human resources officer
at Assurant. “While we have numerous internal programs to educate
and empower our employees to get and stay healthy and fit, our
commitment extends to our neighbors and the communities where we
live and work. Beyond the hundreds of hours Assurant employees
volunteer each year in support of these organizations, employees
also have raised funds for these charities through a Company
initiative that rewards participation in wellness activities with
charitable donations to health-focused nonprofits.”
Assurant offers comprehensive compensation and benefits to help
employees and their families manage risks in their lives. From
weight and stress management tools and resources, to group walks
and smoking cessation support, employees have access to a wide
range of programs to help meet their needs and feel their best. To
increase employee engagement, the Company also rewards healthy
behavior with financial contributions towards employees’ health
savings accounts or health reimbursement accounts and supports
charitable organizations that are focused on creating healthier
communities through the Assurant Foundation.
The Foundation has donated to both the American Cancer Society
and the American Heart Association on behalf of employees who
signed up for on-site biometric screenings and registered to use an
online healthcare management tool, respectively. Earlier this year,
colleagues participated in local events, including heart walks and
Wear Red Day in support of cardiovascular health, with grants
provided to their local American Heart Association chapters,
recognizing the important grassroots work to raise awareness.
“We congratulate Assurant for being among an elite group of
companies that are making a difference every day in improving the
health and overall well-being of their employees and families,”
said Brian Marcotte, president and CEO of the National Business
Group on Health. “Assurant and its leadership team are to be
commended for their commitment to promoting healthy work
environments and for their innovation in developing outstanding
programs for employees that encourage good health and
well-being.”
Assurant was one of 64 U.S. employers to receive a 2015 “Best
Employers for Healthy Lifestyles®” award. Winners of the awards
were honored in one of two categories: Platinum, for exemplary
workplace well-being programs, cultures and results; or Gold, for
creating cultural and environmental changes that support employees
in their lifestyle and behavior changes.
