“Together, we can improve workplace wellness and what it means to be a team member through targeted programming, reduced stress and a more compassionate work environment.”
Shana Hoffman – President & CEO, Lucet
At Lucet, our mission and our passion is to improve physical, behavioral and social health for those we serve. This extends beyond health plans, employers, providers and members—we’ve put it into action in our own workplace, too. From the outset, we’ve prioritized creating an organization that values employee growth, transparent communication at all levels, and a steadfast commitment to maintaining a safe and supportive work environment. This isn’t just corporate lip-service —it’s backed by meaningful actions to create a company where team members are supported, inspired to do their best, and feel valued. As a result, we’re proud to share that Lucet has been named one of America’s Greatest Midsize Workplaces 2025 by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group.
Lucet is one of the roughly 200,000 middle market businesses in the U.S., representing one-third of the private sector GDP and employing approximately 48 million people. Companies like ours play a crucial role in the U.S. economy, offering career opportunities across diverse industries. Newsweek’s ranking involved an analysis of over 3.5 million online employee reviews and publicly available data for 9,000 companies, as well as a survey to understand the importance of key workplace-related categories. Organizers then collaborated with a third-party data-provider to leverage their database of over 120 key performance indicators to evaluate workplace health, including:
- Leadership
- Integrity
- Compensation
- Career development
- Culture and belonging
- Work-life balance
Through these pillars, employers can equip their workforce with the tools and support they need to excel in their roles and deepen their connection with their company’s mission. To realize these objectives, Lucet believes initiatives aimed at team well-being are essential. Programs such as volunteer time off (VTO) offer a meaningful way to highlight company values while enhancing morale, productivity and employee retention. Team members who participate in volunteer activities often feel a stronger alignment with their employer’s mission, greater engagement in their work, and a reduced risk of burnout. Targeted committees like Lucet’s Impact & Responsibility Council can guide endeavors to make a difference for those an organization serves while strengthening our internal connections.
For employers growing stronger teams, Lucet aids in enhancing company culture and program design, as well as fostering long-term workforce wellness. Together, we can improve workplace wellness and what it means to be a team member through targeted programming, reduced stress and a more compassionate work environment.
