Cigna Healthcare Global Well-being and Vitality

How do we measure Vitality?

The Evernorth Vitality Index© (EVI) establishes a subjective scale which ascribes motivational and psychological needs that contribute to vitality – autonomy, competence and relatedness. When these needs are met, vitality is generated. Using our proprietary question set, we’re able to evaluate whole person health by generating a ‘vitality score’.

Vitality drivers include: intellectual, environmental, social, physical, emotional, purpose, occupational and financial well-being. When these are rated high, an individual’s vitality score can be influenced. Employers can therefore play a role in ensuring that their employees feel supported in these categories, making for a better workplace environment and helping individuals feel resilient inside and out of the workplace.

Every year, Cigna Healthcare International Health commissions the vitality and well-being study to get a pulse check on well-being across the globe, gathering workforce trends and providing insights as to how employers can support well-being. Only by addressing the multiple determinants of health – such as social, financial, and intellectual well-being – can organizations effect real change in people’s lives.
