MBP Receives 2025 Cigna Healthy Workforce Designation

Cigna Healthcare recently selected MBP as a recipient of their 2025 gold-level Healthy Workforce Designation for demonstrating a strong commitment to improving the health and vitality of its employees through a workplace well-being program. This marks MBP’s seventh year being recognized by Cigna and its second year receiving the highest-level honors as part of the Healthy Workforce Designation.

“MBP prioritizes its Team Members’ vitality by going beyond basic benefits, thereby boosting productivity, engagement, and job satisfaction. MBP’s Woohoo Wellness Program develops and offers unique in-house wellness initiatives, including Meditation Mondays, Walk-n-Talk Tuesdays, Yoga Flex Fridays, Puzzle of the Month, and our newest addition, Nostalgia Wednesdays,” said Krista Manwaren, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, Director of Learning and Professional Development at MBP. “The program inspires team members to focus on their well-being through interactive challenges, learning opportunities, and continuous encouragement.”

Vitality is defined as the ability to live a healthy, strong, and energetic life. It is both a driver and an outcome of health and work/life engagement, and Cigna Healthcare believes it is essential not only to individuals but also a catalyst for business and community growth.

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, performance, and stronger relationships with managers. With only one in five U.S. adults reporting high levels of vitality, employers have an opportunity to improve workplace well-being programs and support. A workplace well-being program that takes a comprehensive approach to employee health can be critical for boosting vitality and building a workforce with better overall health and job productivity.

“Employers that prioritize workforce vitality — by addressing workplace stress, promoting healthy behaviors, and fostering a sense of competence, autonomy, and connection — are supporting employee well-being and driving organizational success,” said Bryan Holgerson, president of Cigna Healthcare U.S. “As a company committed to creating better healthcare experiences and outcomes, we’re proud to recognize and celebrate employers who are building cultures of well-being across all dimensions of vitality.”

The Cigna Healthy Workforce Designation evaluates organizations based on the core components of their well-being programs, including workforce insights; strategy and culture; health equity and social determinants of health; vitality dimensions; and engagement and experience. Organizations recognized with this designation set the standard of excellence for organizational health and vitality. Cigna Healthcare’s selection of MBP with the gold level designation reinforces the company’s efforts and progress in 2025 toward nurturing a healthy work culture.
