…Blue Benefits You^SM through competitive and comprehensive Total Rewards.

From the best of benefit options to opportunities for learning and career management, to rewards and recognition...our goal is to bring in and keep the best and brightest talent available. That's why when it comes to the many rewards of working at Wellmark, “one size fits all” isn't our strategy. We recognize you each have your own individual preferences about what helps you stay motivated and engaged. So the more flexibility and control you can have with your total rewards package, the better.

Here are just a few of the ways Blue Benefits You:

• Competitive Pay - We deliver a compensation program that inspires personal and collective excellence, and rewards employees consistent with Wellmark's business values and results. Our market-based program provides opportunities to earn additional compensation based on individual and company performance.



• Performance Incentive Program – Our Performance Incentive Program provides the opportunity for all employees to earn annual incentive compensation by attaining organizational goals in the areas of financial and customer measures.
  
  
• Retirement Benefit Options – We help employees create a peace of mind about their financial future by offering very competitive 401(k) and defined benefit plans.
  
  
  

• Health Insurance - It's no surprise that health insurance is one of our signature benefits at Wellmark. We deliver an above-market, affordable health insurance benefit by providing a balanced plan design with a competitive employer contribution.
  
  
• Healthy Lifestyle Choices - From our company cafeteria, which offers a wide assortment of healthy, nutritional, and traditional meal options, to the Well-For-Life Fitness Center , to the many programs offered every month...our goal is to help you get and stay healthy.
  
  
• Work/Life Balance – To help employees balance work and home responsibilities, our Paid Time Off (PTO) program combines vacation, personal leave, and sick leave into a single “time bank” from which paid time off can be drawn for a variety of reasons.
  
  
  

• Learning and Development Opportunities – Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield is committed to continuous learning. We offer a wide range of learning and development opportunities, including an internal leader and employee curriculum, e-Learning options, industry training, and more.
  
  
• Education Assistance – We support advanced education because of our belief in continuous learning. For that reason, our tuition assistance program is considered a signature benefit, paying 100 percent of eligible expenses (up to an annual maximum) for undergraduate and graduate course work.
