Global health service company Cigna and its Express Scripts
business were both named as a Best Place to Work for Disability
Inclusion after earning scores of 100 on the 2019 Disability
Equality Index® (DEI). The index is a joint initiative of the
American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) and
Disability:IN, and measures inclusion across six categories:
culture and leadership, enterprise-wide access, employment
practices, community engagement, supplier diversity and non-U.S.
operations.
“We are committed to diversity and deliberate in our efforts to
recruit, employ and retain diverse individuals, including people
with different abilities,” said Susan Stith, vice president,
diversity, inclusion, civic affairs and foundation. “Fostering a
more collaborative, inclusive workforce is the right thing to do
for the people who work here and the people we serve.”
As part of the company’s commitment to diversity and inclusion,
Cigna and Express Scripts have active employee groups, People With
Different Abilities (PWDA) and ExpressPossAbilities (ExPA).
Collectively, the groups are more than 800 people strong and seek
to leverage differences as strengths to better deliver on behalf of
clients, customers and patients, and shareholders.
“We are proud of our open and inclusive culture, and the
dedicated employee groups that actively work to remove stigmas and
help make Cigna a welcoming place for everyone,” said Mark Boxer,
Cigna's executive vice president and chief information officer and
PWDA/ExPA executive sponsor. “Diversity in thought and approach
drives improved employee satisfaction, customer experience,
innovation and growth across the organization.”
In addition, Cigna and Express Scripts were recognized jointly
or independently as 2019 “Best of the Best” companies in the
following DiversityComm, Inc. publications: Black EOE Journal,
HISPANIC Network Magazine, Professional WOMAN’S Magazine and U.S.
Veterans Magazine. Both Cigna and Express Scripts also appeared on
DIVERSEability Magazine’s 2018 list, published in the Fall.
