CSAA Insurance Group Recognized as Inclusive Health & Well-being Innovator
WALNUT CREEK, Calif., January 13, 2026 – CSAA Insurance Group has been honored by the Purchaser Business Group on Health (PBGH) with a 2025 Moonshot Award, in the category of Inclusive Health & Well-being. PBGH is focused on lowering health care costs and increasing quality, and this award reflects CSAA’s commitment to minimizing barriers to health care, empowering employees through self-advocacy resources, and increasing preventive care utilization.
“This recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects who we are—our commitment to creating a workplace where every employee has access to equitable, high-quality, and culturally responsive health care and support,” said Chris Lassalle, vice president, Total Rewards. “We remain committed to innovation, advocacy, and measurable impact as we continue to build a healthier, more inclusive future—for our employees and the communities we serve.”
Beyond data collection, CSAA Insurance Group has embedded equity into its organizational practices by:
- Advancing inclusive hiring practices that broaden access to talent from all backgrounds
- Expanding flexible work opportunities and investing in development programs designed to support the career growth of underrepresented employees
- Prioritizing equitable pay and implementing a biweekly pay schedule for more frequent income access
- Increasing well-being incentive dollars for lower-income employees
CSAA Insurance Group began its health equity journey a decade ago by introducing health equity education to Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and requiring health plan vendors to include social determinants of health data in annual preventive care and chronic condition reporting. Recently, the company launched a comprehensive health assessment that screens for social needs including food and housing insecurity, physical and emotional safety, access to outdoor spaces, and financial concerns.
