COLUMBUS, Ga., March 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Aflac, the leading provider of voluntary insurance at the work site in the United States and one of FORTUNE's 2014 Blue Ribbon companies, announced today it has been named to FORTUNE magazine's list of 100 Best Companies to Work For. This is the 17th consecutive year that Aflac has appeared on this prestigious list, giving the Georgia-based business the longest string of consecutive years appearing on the list in the insurance industry. Aflac was ranked at No. 49 on this year's list, up 9 places compared to 2014.
Aflac was selected among hundreds of companies vying for a place on the list this year. Applicant companies opt to participate in the selection process, which includes an employee survey and an in-depth questionnaire about their programs and company practices. Great Place to Work® then evaluates each application using its unique methodology based on five dimensions: credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie. Creators of the methodology behind the list have found that employees believe they work for great organizations when they consistently trust the people they work for, have pride in what they do and enjoy the people they work with.
"It is a tremendous honor for Aflac to be named as one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For, now for an incredible 17th consecutive year," Aflac Chairman and CEO Dan Amos said. "Our employees work hard to serve our policyholders and to help make us a profitable company for our investors. We are pleased to provide a work environment of trust and camaraderie for our workers, and we are proud that FORTUNE magazine has recognized our efforts in doing so."
Among other employee-friendly initiatives, in 2014, Aflac opened its unique Career Success Center on the company's largest campus. At the center, employees can walk in, work online or make an appointment to meet with full-time career development specialists to learn what opportunities exist for potential advancement as well as learn proper techniques for interviewing and resume enhancement. Hundreds of employees have taken advantage of the program as a part of their personal career planning, including several who have utilized the skills they learned at the Career Success Center to land a promotion and contribute more value to the company.
"It is no coincidence that the 100 best workplaces are also extremely profitable and successful companies," said China Gorman, CEO of Great Place to Work®. "Research by our firm definitively showcases that the best places to work outperform their competitors. There is an absolute ROI when companies invest in creating a high-trust workplace culture. Great workplaces have significantly less turnover and produce employees who have a vested interest in the company."
