Cigna CEO wants more of workforce return to office

Cigna Corp., which employs thousands in Connecticut, mostly in the Hartford area, will require more of its workforce to report to the office beginning in September, as the health insurance giant seeks to rebalance the workplace so it more closely resembles how it was prior to the pandemic, the Hartford Courant reports. In a recent email to employees, Cigna Chairman and Chief Executive David Cordani wrote that 90% of the Bloomfield-based insurer’s employees – totaling 70,000 worldwide and “several thousand” in Connecticut – are now working fully or nearly fully from remote locations. That percentage needs to be pushed lower, Cordani wrote.
