Insurer BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee is “actively exploring” the best long-term use of its sprawling Chattanooga headquarters on Cameron Hill as it stays committed to remote work, a top official said.
“Our remote-first approach continues to work well for BlueCross, with 89% of our workforce now working from home,” Dalya Qualls White, the company’s senior vice president and chief communications officer, said in an email Thursday.
As a result, she said, BlueCross is exploring its use of space while it remains committed to maintaining a Chattanooga presence.
The health insurer is one of the largest private employers in Chattanooga with about 4,000 workers. The company has 6,500 across its network.
In 2009, BlueCross consolidated its home office staff that had been working in 10 different buildings in Chattanooga into a new $299 million headquarters built atop Cameron Hill overlooking downtown.
