Markon received the award for honorable culture of well-being for demonstrating a strong commitment to improving employee health through a workplace wellness program.
"At Markon, we feel strongly that the more we take care of our employees, the better they will perform for our clients, especially in tough times like we have seen during the global pandemic in 2020," said Krissy Goff, Markon Vice President of Operations.
"That strategy has been instrumental in achieving sustainable growth throughout our 13 years in business, and recognition like receiving the Cigna Honorable Culture of Well-Being Award for the second consecutive year reaffirms our commitment to setting the bar high in terms of the support we offer our people."
The key factors for which Markon won the award include:
- Markon has the first WELL certified office space in Virginia, and was also the first contractor in Virginia certified to implement the WELL Building Standard
