COLUMBUS, Ga., June 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ranked No. 17 among large organizations, Aflac, a leading provider of supplemental insurance and products in the U.S., announced today that it has been named to the 2020 Best Places to Work in IT list by IDG Insider Pro and Computerworld. Aflac is one of 100 top organizations that challenge their IT staffs while providing great benefits and compensation. The insurer has been named to the coveted list for the 20th time.

"While the COVID-19 pandemic has put us all into unchartered waters, our IT team has displayed agility and performed in ways that have enabled Aflac to quickly adapt to our new environment, including shifting more than 5,000 employees from working in the office to home," said Aflac Chairman and CEO Dan Amos. "Our Digital Services team did stellar work using technology to make it easier for our sales teams to reach consumers and to fulfill Aflac's promise to be there for our customers when it matters most. We are proud to be recognized among the best-in-class innovators in the nation by Computerworld."

In addition, Computerworld conducts extensive surveys of IT professionals, and their responses factor heavily in determining the rankings.

"As technology continues to evolve more rapidly than ever, attracting and retaining top IT talent to research, deploy and maintain that technology has never been more important or more challenging," said Mark Lewis, vice president of audience development at IDG Insider Pro. "Companies that have earned a spot on the Insider Pro and Computerworld 2020 Best Places to Work in IT list share a common denominator: They create an environment that not only rewards workers with competitive compensation and benefits, but they also foster a spirit of diversity, social responsibility, training and innovation."
