Aetna Global Benefits recognized for outstanding global mobility and expatriate management

HARTFORD, Conn., — Aetna (NYSE: AET) won the “International Benefits Provider of the Year” category for the Expatriate Management and Mobility Awards (EMMAs) at an event in New York City. Aetna Global Benefits (AGB), the company’s international business segment, provides tools, programs and services to help its more than 400,000 members access high quality health care around the world and make informed health decisions.

“We are very honored by this recognition,” said Donna Otten, head of AGB. “As we continue to expand our presence in the global marketplace, we not only want to ensure our expat members have comprehensive benefits as they move around the globe, but we want to help them live healthier lives.”

The EMMAs were developed by The Forum for Expatriate Management (FEM) to recognize excellence in global mobility in 14 different categories of distinction. This year, more than 240 entries were received from both corporate HR and service providers. The independent judging panel consisted of more than 20 mobility experts from global organizations, including Unilever, Mercer, Ernst & Young, the National Foreign Trade Council and World Bank.

“We are delighted to honor companies and people who view expatriate management through the correct lens and make it easier for people to work and live in different parts of the world,” said Brian Friedman, founder and CEO of FEM. “It’s important to recognize companies like Aetna that provide exceptional services to support globally mobile professionals.”

FEM is an information and news portal with services to help connect organizations and professionals who either manage international employees or provide support services to facilitate cross-border employment and living.
