Aflac Ranked Among the 100 Best Places To Work
for Tenth Consecutive Year
Insurer has appeared among FORTUNE’s best
companies to work for since 1999.
COLUMBUS, Ga., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Aflac Incorporated
has been selected to FORTUNE magazine's annual 100
Best Companies to Work For in America list for the
tenth consecutive year. The leading insurer catapulted
to number 30 on the revered listing and is the top
ranked company headquartered in Georgia to make the
list.
FORTUNE magazine cited Aflac for allowing shareholders
a "say on pay" vote in 2008 and its top
compensation package - pension, profit sharing, and
401(k) match. The company was also recognized for
its philanthropy, diversity, job creation and on-site
child care program, which is the largest in the state
of Georgia.
"It is a great honor to be distinguished among
the best workplaces in America for the tenth year
in a row," said Dan Amos, Aflac chairman and
CEO. "This recognition exemplifies Aflac's talented,
dedicated and resilient employees who consistently
deliver excellence. This exclusive designation underscores
Aflac's ongoing commitment to giving back to the community
and providing quality customer service."
The company's employees are involved in many philanthropic
organizations, such as Boys and Girls Clubs, Habitat
for Humanity and the Aflac Cancer Center and Blood
Disorders Service of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
Aflac has raised nearly $40 million to benefit the
Aflac Cancer Center with the support from its employees
and sales associates.
More than 400 companies were evaluated based on their
corporate policies, culture and employee opinions.
Randomly selected employees from each company responded
to the most extensive employee survey in corporate
America, which was conducted by the Great Place to
Work Institute in San Francisco. Most of the company's
score was based on credibility (communication to employees),
respect (opportunities and benefits), fairness (compensation
and diversity) and pride (philanthropy and recognition
programs).
The complete list and related stories will appear
in the February 4 issue of FORTUNE, available on newsstands
January 28 and at www.fortune.com on January 22.
