“I’m humbled to be recognized by one of the top publications in the employee benefits space as an industry leader,” said Rogers. “The work we’ve done at Alight to create a positive place to work and grow for all colleagues isn’t a one-person job. It’s a true team effort and I share this success with everyone who contributes every day to bring the best possible experience to our people and our customers. My goal is to bring what we do to as many organizations as possible. Increasingly, there is emerging recognition that the better the well-being of the workforce, the more successful a company will be. I aim to increase awareness of that concept as something that's proven and commonly known, something that's tangible and real."
The Employee Benefit News Excellence in Benefits program honors changemakers in the benefits and HR community, including employers with top benefits programs, innovators providing tech-driven solutions and leading advisers who connect the dots.
