YOU MIGHT THINK a health insurance provider would know a thing or two about health and wellness. Well, in the case of Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island, you’d be right.
Recognizing the critical importance of total well-being, Blue Cross empowers its employees to bring their best self to work every day.
Beyond offering healthy dining options and on-site fitness, Blue Cross encourages its team to be proactive about improving health and well-being through its Rhodes to Well-being initiative, which offers programs focusing on physical, emotional, financial and social well-being.
Two years ago, the company partnered with the Center for Resilience, a nonprofit focused on sharing the practice of mindfulness. Blue Cross has offered seven sessions so far, with more than 120 employees participating.
Another well-received initiative is Mental Health First Aid, a training program that teaches employees how to offer help to someone experiencing a mental health concern or crisis.
