Awards & Recognition

The Cigna Healthy Workforce Designation recognizes that a commitment to employee well-being and vitality can impact everything from employee health and satisfaction to company productivity and business performance.

The Town’s wellness platform, in addition to the programs and plan coverages we provide to our employees, was evaluated by Cigna. To achieve the gold level, we met the following criteria: 

1. Senior leadership that offers extensive support of the well-being program (personally participates in activities/challenges)
2. Many programs/resources that support various dimensions of well-being
3. Many worksite policies and accommodations to create a supportive culture and safe, healthy workspace
4. Many methods of communication that actively engage employees and promote the well-being program

The Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health is a national certification program that recognizes employers who are committed to creating mentally healthy workplaces through their insurance coverage, wellness programs, available counseling and resources, and policies. Led by Mental Health America’s rich history in research and advocacy, the Bell Seal’s holistic evaluation of employer practices considers the entire employee experience.

The Bell Seal certification evaluates how each organization supports their employees’ mental health and well-being through comprehensive criteria in four sections: Workplace Culture, Benefits, Compliance, and Wellness. Our goal is to gain a clear understanding of the entire employee experience and award recognition accordingly. MHA wants to celebrate and elevate the Town’s commitment to creating a mentally healthy workplace. By receiving the Bell Seal Silver level recognition, the Town is communicating its commitment to employees and the communities we serve. 

Well-being Works Better™ is a curated solution that empowers employers to foster, evolve and continuously improve a healthy work culture and environment. The American Heart Association provides a suite of health and well-being practices, tools, and resources that assist the Town’s team to reinforce our workforce to thrive, be aware of good health practices, and ensure success with a healthier workforce.

The application for this designation was scored, awarding points for various programs, policies, and practices we incorporate through benefits, wellness, and the Town. For the first year in applying, the Town received the silver level, which will also be recognized on their Well-being Works Better website.
