COLUMBUS, Ga., Aug. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Aflac, the
leading provider of voluntary insurance at the worksite in
the United States, today announced
that the company has been named one of LATINA Style's 50 Best
Places for Latinas to Work for in the
United States. The 2016 recognition marks a consecutive
decade and 17 years overall that Aflac has received recognition on
the prestigious list. Aflac will be featured in the August issue of
LATINA Style Magazine for its dedicated effort to diverse
recruitment and promotion initiatives.
"It is a great honor to be named one of the 50 best places for

to diversity is an extension of our founding principles of care,
respect, dignity and fairness. With a workforce that is 67 percent
women, 44 percent minorities and 34 percent minority women, we know
that our diverse marketplace is best served by an equally diverse
employee base."
More than 800 corporations responded to LATINA Style's annual
questionnaire and were evaluated based on matters that LATINA Style
Magazine readers deemed as most important to them in the workplace.
Among the principal areas of evaluation are: the number of Latina
executives, Latina retention, mentoring programs, educational
opportunities, alternative work policies, employee benefits,
women's issues, job retraining, affinity groups and Hispanic
relations. Evaluations for the 2016 annual report are based on 2015
data.

sets the standard for identifying corporations that are providing
the best career opportunities for Latinas in the country. According
to LATINA Style Inc., they are the premier company addressing the
needs of Latina professionals and business owners in the U.S. and
