Now Playing On iTunes: CIGNA Podcasts for Expatriates and Business Travelers

CLAYMONT, Del., December 03, 2009 - Beginning today, employees on international assignments and business travelers can listen to health, wellness and benefits podcasts on Apple’s iTunes podcast library. Through a new arrangement with CIGNA International Expatriate Benefits (CIEB), a leading provider of group health care benefits to expatriates around the world, a comprehensive podcast library is downloadable from iTunes or from CIEB’s public website at www.CIGNAexpats.com.

As the only health service company to offer a growing library of podcasts for the globally mobile workforce, CIGNA helps ease the transition to expatriate life and prepares expatriates for the challenges they may face when accessing health care in other countries. Available podcast topics include practical information such as getting ready for an overseas assignment, managing weight while on assignment, and using online expert medical second opinion services.

"Using iTunes as well as other innovative communication channels and technologies demonstrates our commitment to continually enhancing the expatriate experience around the world and meeting the service needs of expatriates, business travelers and employers," said Kenneth Vaughan, senior vice president of CIEB.

To access the full list of CIGNA podcasts on iTunes, search “CIEB” in the podcast sections. Once the podcasts are downloaded, they can be stored on MP3 devices and used at the listener’s convenience.
