COLUMBUS, Ga., July 5,
2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Aflac, the leader in voluntary
insurance sales at the worksite in the United
States, announced today that the company has been named one of
the 100 Best Workplaces for Millennials by Fortune Magazine. This
is the third year that Fortune has published this list and the
third time that Aflac has held a coveted spot. Aflac placed No. 82
in the inaugural year of 2015 and landed at No. 53 in 2017.
"Just as we are pleased to be among Fortune's 100 Best Places to
Work for the past 19 years, we are very happy to be held in such
high esteem by millennials, who now make up the largest segment of
our nation's workforce," Aflac Chairman and CEO Dan Amos said. "Competition for the best and
brightest minds is always steep, so it is a great advantage to have
this validation of our company as a great place for millennials to
consider for a rewarding career."
According to Fortune, to compile this list of the Best
Workplaces for Millennials, Great Place to Work surveyed more than
398,000 U.S. employees from Great Place to Work-certified companies
and ranked them. Surveys were conducted anonymously, and
millennials' results achieved at least 95 percent confidence level
and 7 percent margin of error for each organization. Companies were
required to employ at least 50 millennials to be considered.
