Honest question! What is DRIVE TO 2025? I understand it is as a philosophy the company is working towards and blah blah but umm… what is supposed to happen? What shift? I got hired last year and cannot get a clear sense of what it actually means lol Everybody on my team is on the same boat. SOS HELPPPPP

Its when you drive to a new job in 2025.
More cost savings for sure. Being ahead in AI race. More Opex savings. Human cost is the highest cost for a company. If there is some way to save this that will be the ultimate goal. Specially in the era of outsourcing and AI, it will be impossible for a company to survive if they are spending a lot on people . Things need to be automated end of the day.
Innovate and improve !
Drive to hope Wall Street has calmed down enough from the ESI acquisition not to freak out about the Humana acquisition.
"Will they just change it to drive to 2030?"
Nope, it doesn't rhyme, so what good is that ;)
Maybe something like "Dirty 30" could work?
Ugh don’t even get me started. Every time my supervisor informs my team that HER supervisor will be joining our weekly meeting to discuss drive to 25 I know we are in for a meaningless 30 minute one sided conversation full of corporate bullsh-t. She will make a lackluster PowerPoint full of strange equations that she believes will somehow help us understand the point of this nonsense… news flash - it’s all rambling!!!
Fu-k the customers, fu-k my supervisor’s supervisor, fu-k my supervisor, fu-k leadership, and most important, fu-k Cigna y’all are ba----ds <3
My question is what will be next? Will they just change it to drive to 2030? 2025 is almost here and the culture still feels the same and I dont think Cigna will shake the stigma surrounding the company and its stock. Drive to 2025 is not clear and the fact so many don’t exactly know what it is tells the whole story. They will send out and email or town hall, tell people what it is in a way that leaves about a million holes in their concept.
Don't forget about "be the employer of choice". All the employee-unfriendly polices and processes will be rescinded and highly skilled and highly coveted workers will flood in. Just you wait!
I always thought Drive to 25 was supposed to be David Cordani's swan song.

(Literally asked AI to create a corporate mumbo jumbo)
Gaslighting the peons into believing there is a end goal when in reality "Drive to 2025" is codeword for ELT to artificially create "work" for themselves before early 2025 rolls around and they cash out on stock buybacks and laugh and joke with each other about how they let this place rot.
Simple. Less remote workers + more overseas jobs in office = more people driving. They literally want as many people as possible to be driving to work by 2025.
I mean, it's the only logical answer. Otherwise, they're just slapping stupid rhyming phrases together to make themselves seem like they have a clue what they're doing, and that can't possibly be it.
Get our stock price to either $400 or $500 to meet shareholder expectations… at any cost…,
Cigna always comes up with these ridiculous plans and names them these grandiose names.
In actuality, it’s a bunch of corporate word salad that doesn’t mean anything discernible.
As far as I can tell, it focuses on:
Coordinated solutions
Our identity
Our mission
Our vision
Foundational accelerated cross-enterprise leveraging fueling sustained growth 😂
It seems like an SNL parody of corporate culture.
Ultimately, I think it’s just an attempt by executives to make it appear that they have actual work to do.
You and me both, I have been here for years and still can't figure out what it really means.
