Careers image

We’re committed to helping you LIVE WELL by providing a range of benefits and coverage options that allow you the flexibility to choose what works best for you and your family. 

We offer comprehensive health and wellness coverage that ensures our employees have the care and coverage they need to stay healthy, build current and future financial security and maintain work-life balance. All full- and part-time employees (who work 20 or more hours per week) and their dependents are eligible to enroll in our benefits.

Health and Medicine image

Health and Medicine

Our employees say that our medical, prescription, dental and vision insurance benefits are some of the best in the media industry because they offer competitiveness, affordability and choice. TEGNA offers two benefit plans designed to support you during the moments that matter most. In addition, our benefit options give employees the flexibility to choose any combination of medical, dental and/or vision plan coverage categories, and comply with federally mandated requirements to ensure cost transparency.

Depending on the medical plan chosen, employees can contribute towards a Health Savings Account (HSA) to which the company contributes up to $1,000, depending on the type of coverage chosen.

In today’s mobile world, having access to healthcare on-the-go is important. Through Teladoc, employees have 24/7 access to on-demand board-certified doctors and clinicians for non-emergency or general medical care who are available through video, phone or mobile app.

Adding to your family is a life-changing event! Whether giving birth, adopting or fostering a child, all new parents receive at least six weeks paid parental leave to focus on their growing family. Women who give birth can take a minimum of 12 weeks maternity leave paid at 100 percent. For 2022, we are expanding our adoption reimbursement from $2,500 to $10,000 and introducing a surrogacy reimbursement benefit of $10,000 to support every path to parenthood and provide coverage for employees’ family planning goals.
