高管遇害後,聯合健康集團豪擲百萬美元加強保安




UnitedHealth集團2024年高層保安開支近170萬美元

美國醫療巨頭UnitedHealth Group於周一披露,2024年其為高層管理人員提供的保安服務花費近170萬美元。此舉是在去年12月公司高級主管Brian Thompson於曼哈頓酒店外遭槍殺數月後作出的反應。

該公司亦為部分高層家屬支付了約20.8萬美元的個人及住宅保安服務費用。這些保安開支的披露,過往未曾在UnitedHealth的年度報告中出現,顯示12月發生的槍擊案促使企業重新評估針對高層的暴力風險。

同時,美國藥廠強生(Johnson & Johnson)及禮來(Eli Lilly)也在2024年增加了對高管的保安開支,根據上月的監管文件顯示。

UnitedHealth在文件中表示:「鑑於高層管理職位所涉及的風險,我們認為這些保安服務是適當且必要的。」

Brian Thompson是UnitedHealth旗下保險部門UnitedHealthcare的前首席執行官,他於去年12月4日在曼哈頓中城一家酒店外被槍殺,當時該公司正在舉辦投資者會議。

文件還顯示,UnitedHealth行政總裁Andrew Witty在2024年的總薪酬達2,630萬美元,高於上一年的2,350萬美元。集團為Witty的保安服務花費約15萬美元,而旗下健康服務部門Optum的行政總裁Heather Cianfrocco則獲得約92.7萬美元的保安開支。

自Thompson遇害後,多家健康保險公司已將高層照片從公司網站移除。今年1月,舊金山一場大型醫療會議的主辦方亦加強了場內外的保安措施。

過往幾年,醫療和製藥公司通常僅負擔高管私人飛機使用及有限的保安相關費用,根據美國證券交易委員會的早期文件顯示。

評論與深入分析:

UnitedHealth及其他大型醫療企業加碼高管保安費用,反映出當前商業環境中高層管理人員面臨的安全威脅日益嚴重。Brian Thompson的悲劇事件成為一個警鐘,提醒企業不能忽視高管的個人安全問題。這種安全投資不僅是對個人生命的保障,更是維護企業穩定運作的必要措施。

此外,這種趨勢透露出一個更深層的社會現象——隨著企業決策權力集中及公眾對企業高層的監督加劇,管理層可能成為情緒激烈或利益衝突中容易被針對的對象。企業在保護高管的同時,也應該思考如何透過透明溝通和企業社會責任,降低外界的敵意和誤解。

值得注意的是,這些高額的保安開支與高管薪酬的增長形成了明顯對比,反映出企業在人才保留和安全保障上投入的雙重壓力。未來,隨著網絡安全及實體安全威脅的交織,企業如何平衡成本與效益,將成為管理層和投資者關注的焦點。

總括而言,UnitedHealth此次公開的保安支出不僅是對過去悲劇的直接回應,更是全球企業在面對新型風險環境下必須正視的課題,也啟示我們重新審視企業安全與社會責任之間的微妙關係。

In a brightly lit indoor setting, likely a press conference room, two uniformed police officers flank a man in a plain brown t-shirt. The officers, wearing blue shirts with epaulets and badges, have a firm but neutral grip on the man's shoulders, directing him towards the cameras. The man [image uploaded] with short dark hair, is smiling subtly and maintaining eye contact with the lens.

Stretching across the foreground is a white-draped table, upon which a diverse collection of women's underwear is meticulously displayed. There are dozens of pairs in various colors, patterns, and styles, including solid hues of red, blue, pink, and black, as well as leopard print and other designs. Several microphones with news station logos are placed among the undergarments, pointing towards the man and officers.

Behind the table, a throng of journalists and photographers are actively documenting the event. Many are holding professional video cameras with large lenses and attached lights, while others are using DSLR cameras with flash attachments, and some are capturing footage with their smartphones. The room is illuminated by rectangular fluorescent light panels on the ceiling, casting an even glow. The overall atmosphere suggests a formal public presentation, possibly a police press briefing or an arrest announcement. A cinematic top-down portrait of a young woman standing on a solid deep green floor, captured from an extreme overhead angle. She looks up directly at the camera with wide, expressive eyes, creating an intimate and slightly surreal mood. She wears a soft white bucket hat, a cozy oversized green-and-beige checkered sweater, blue jeans, and white sneakers. Minimalist composition with vast negative space surrounding her, emphasizing isolation and calm.
