Westwood, Massachusetts (Local Office: Hartford)
10,336 Employees

Eversource Energy, New England’s largest energy delivery company, is a publicly traded Fortune 400 company headquartered in Hartford, CT, and Boston, MA. Through its regulated subsidiaries, it provides retail electricity, natural gas, and water services to approximately 4.4 million customers across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. Eversource Wellness focuses on equipping employees and their families with education and resources to support healthier, happier lives. Reflecting the utility’s diverse workforce, Eversource partnered with Personify Health in 2021 to launch a comprehensive mental health program, designed to make wellness resources accessible, inclusive, and personalized for all employees.

In 2025, Eversource enhanced its Retirement Income Program to strengthen employees’ long-term financial wellness and promote shared responsibility in retirement planning. Key improvements included the introduction of an employer-funded Cash Balance Pension Plan, doubling the 401(k) employer match from 3% to 6% of eligible pay—allowing employees to receive up to 12% of their pay in combined 401(k) contributions—and eliminating the six-month waiting period for new hires to receive matching contributions. These changes reflect Eversource’s commitment to holistic employee well-being by addressing financial security, simplifying retirement decision-making, and removing investment risk from the pension component. Following the enhancements, the company observed increased engagement with retirement planning resources, higher 401(k) contribution rates, and greater participation in financial wellness consultations. Early indicators show employees expressing increased confidence in their financial futures, demonstrating Eversource’s continued focus on aligning benefits with long-term employee needs and industry best practices.

As a publicly held organization, CBIZ is committed to regularly evaluating and enhancing its benefits offerings to meet the evolving needs of its nationwide workforce. One of the most frequently asked questions from new hires centered around fertility coverage, prompting the company to introduce this benefit in 2024 as part of its strategy to remain an employer of choice and attract top talent.

The addition of fertility coverage reflects CBIZ’s broader wellness philosophy and its dedication to supporting the personal and family planning needs of its employees. In 2024, CBIZ paid over $300,000 in medical claims related to fertility care, covering everything from office visits to potential treatments. Fertility medications, which are also covered under the CBIZ prescription plan, are not included in that total.

Looking ahead, CBIZ has recommitted to offering fertility coverage in 2025 and has enhanced the benefit by increasing allowable limits for participating team members, reinforcing its focus on employee well-being and retention.
