Aetna Cutting Costs, Offering Early Retirement Program

Hartford-based insurance company Aetna is working to cuts costs, including a voluntary early retirement program.

Employees said they learned a couple weeks ago that they should prepare for job cuts and the company will not allow employees to work from home in the future. 

“We are constantly looking for ways to reduce operating costs, which includes reviewing how our resources are deployed. This is typical of any responsible company, large or small,” Aetna said in a statement. 

Company officials have not said how many jobs will be affected or when. 

“Recently we informed employees of several planned actions to help position Aetna for continued growth in 2017 and beyond, including a voluntary early retirement program. We are also making changes to our telework policy, with the goal of increasing collaboration and driving innovation,” the statement says.
