    Beyond Duty of Care: Balancing Care and Financial Sustainability in a Rapidly Changing Global Landscape

    Beyond Duty of Care: Balancing Care and Financial Sustainability in a Rapidly Changing Global Landscape

    Published on 01 Oct 2025

    Global leaders at the Cigna Summit 2025 explored how organisations can balance workforce well-being with financial sustainability in a changing world.

    Thought Leadership

    On June 25–26, 2025, global leaders and health experts convened in Vienna for the Cigna Healthcare Health Summit to explore the evolving concept of Duty of Care in today’s unpredictable world. The event underscored the urgent need for international organisations to rethink how they support workforce well-being while maintaining financial sustainability.

    Three Core Insights Emerged:

    1. Workforce health is mission-critical – Employee well-being directly impacts organisational success.
    2. Proactive strategies matter – Early interventions and smart investments lead to sustainable health outcomes.
    3. Collaboration accelerates progress – Shared learning across organisations strengthens collective resilience.

    Five Strategic Actions for Organisations:

    • Prioritise prevention through lifestyle medicine and early intervention.
    • Expand culturally adapted workplace health programmes with measurable ROI.
    • Use data to track trends and guide decisions.
    • Combine digital health tools with human support during critical moments.
    • Embed well-being into leadership, policy, and organisational design.

    The consensus was clear: the challenges are real, but so is the opportunity. By acting now and working together, organisations can build healthier, more resilient teams and ensure long-term success.
