Aflac Named a Best Place to Work in IT for 21st time
IDG Insider Pro and Computerworld rank Aflac No. 16 among large organizations for excellence in IT employee compensation, benefits, growth opportunity

COLUMBUS, Ga., July 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Aflac, a leading provider of supplemental insurance products in the U.S., announced today that Insider Pro and Computerworld named the insurer one of the 2021 Best Places to Work in IT. Ranked No. 16 — up one spot from 2020 — among large information technology organizations headquartered in the U.S., Aflac appears on the prestigious annual list for the 21st time as a company providing challenging work, growth opportunities, and best-in-class employee engagement, compensation, benefits and training.

"IT is essential to ensuring Aflac fulfills our promise to customers where and how they prefer to do business."

"Aflac's IT team has been pivotal in helping the company navigate difficulties brought on by the pandemic — all while advancing our vision of a world where people are prepared for unexpected health expenses," said President of Aflac U.S. Teresa White. "They remain laser-focused on our policyholder experience, making it easier to file claims, service policies, pay bills and receive payments. As we employ digital technology to make it easier for customers to shop, for our distribution team to sell and for our employees to work, they are essential to ensuring we fulfill our promise to customers where and how they prefer to do business."

To merit the recognition of one of the 2021 Best Places to Work in IT, Aflac was judged on company benefits, training and development, average salary increases, percent of employees promoted, turnover rates, the percentage of women and minority employees in management within IT departments, as well as the organization's hot projects and mentoring programs. Also factored into the decision are employee opinions regarding satisfaction with management, benefits, workplace culture, compensation and job duties.

"Despite the overwhelming obstacles the pandemic has created for many businesses, IT has managed to thrive and, in fact, become more essential in the workplace. Attracting and retaining top IT talent to research, deploy and maintain technology has never been more critical," said Kate Hoy, editor of IDG's Insider Pro. "Companies that have earned a spot on the Insider Pro and Computerworld 2021 Best Places to Work in IT list have been able to foster nimble and flexible work environments — while continuing to keep competitive compensation and benefits steady. Additionally, they foster a spirit of diversity, social responsibility, training and innovation."

"Aflac's culture has always centered on relationships and innovation. When we hire people in IT, we look for interpersonal and communications skills, those who collaborate well to successfully deliver value and put the organization's vision ahead of self-interest," said Aflac Chief Digital and Information Officer Rich Gilbert. "We have an incredibly gifted team steering innovation, driving change and keeping customers central, and it's an honor for Insider Pro and Computerworld to acknowledge the excellence and quality of Aflac's IT workplace."
