COLUMBUS, Ga., June 24, 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 that Great
Place to Work® and Fortune have recognized Aflac as one of the 100
Best Workplaces for Millennials in the country. This inaugural
ranking comes from an anonymous survey of millennial employees
administered by the workplace culture experts at Great Place to
Work®. According to FORTUNE, in just 10 years, millennials will
make up 75 percent of the workforce.
"As new generations come to the forefront of our marketplace and
our workforce, it is necessary for leading companies like Aflac to
adapt to the changes that can and will take place," Aflac Chairman
and CEO Dan Amos said. "We believe
that our consistent culture of openness and transparency appeals to
millennials, who hold high regard for companies that lead and
innovate without compromising ethics. We are proud to be among the
100 Best Workplaces for Millennials in the United States."
Aflac and the other 99 winning companies were selected based on
the evaluations of nearly 90,000 millennial-aged employees who were
surveyed using the Trust Index©, Great Place to Work's employee
assessment survey. The 100 Best Workplaces for Millennials is part
of a series of rankings by Great Place to Work® and Fortune based
entirely on employee surveys from published Great Place to Work®
Reviews. Past lists have included Technology, Retail, Financial
Services, Advertising and Manufacturing.
"Companies focused on solid growth understand that it's critical
for senior leaders to have an in-depth understanding of all their
employees' experiences, regardless of their age, role in the
organization or any other demographic profile," says Michael Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work®
United States. "Great workplaces
are constantly monitoring and analyzing their employees' workplace
experiences and then taking action to improve them. Ranking on this
list is a great indicator that these companies' efforts to create
great workplaces are resonating with millennials."

Best Workplaces for Millennials is a "best of the best" ranking.
The winners come from the universe of companies
with published Great Place to Work Reviews, meaning they are
serious about creating a great workplace and comfortable with

as shown by their willingness to survey employees and

Almost 90,000 millennial-aged employees from these companies
completed the survey and answered 58 questions about how frequently
they experience the behaviors that create a great
workplace. This resulted in a total score for each company
based entirely upon employee feedback. The Great Place to
Work® Best Workplaces for Millennials 2015 ranking includes the
best 100 companies ranked by these millennials' scores.
