 of our workforce, we’re able to continuously assess our effectiveness and act when needed, which in turn helps to strengthen our culture and support associate engagement. We aim to conduct our confidential, third-party administered AES on an annual basis and encourage all our associates to participate. The AES is an in-depthsurvey covering eighteen dimensions that align to the Company’s strategy and associate engagement. We aggregate survey results, provide them to our entire associate population and encourage leaders to use the information to create open, honest action plans with their teams to build upon our collective engagement. In 2024, the AES revealed several key insights, particularly around enhancing work-life balance and engagement. The response rate improved to 78%, up from 74% in 2023. The survey also showed that 83% of employees were highly engaged, a slight decline from 85% in 2023. We recognize that transparent feedback is essential for meaningful change, helping us create an environment where employees feel valued and empowered to excel for our members and patients. In 2024, various factors impacted Humana’s employee sentiment, including company performance, leadership and organizational changes, and broader external factors such as the economy and the election year. These elements have a measurable impact on our employee experience. As our workforce continues to grow and include more clinical roles, we also observe an opportunity to further improve the engagement and retention of our front-line workforce. Pay and Benefits Philosophy, Compensation and Financial Security We believe our associates have the right to receive a competitive wage and we are committed to maintaining a pay and benefits philosophy that is market-based and recognizes an associate’s contributions so that we can attract and retain an engaged, talented team. Further, we believe in fostering a fair and inclusive work environment—one where all associates receive equitable pay for their contributions. Each year, we conduct a comprehensive pay equity/gap analysis to identify and address potential pay disparities between associates performing similar work in similar capacities. Our Company’s pay and benefits structure is designed to motivate, incentivize and reward our associates—at all levels of the organization—for their skill development, demonstration of our values and performance. While our programs vary by location, associate type and business, they generally include:
