COLUMBUS, Ga., Aug. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Aflac, the
leading provider of voluntary insurance in the United States, today announced that the
company has been named to LATINA Style Magazine's 2014 list of 50
Best Companies for Latinas to Work. It is the 15th time
and 8th consecutive year that Aflac has been named to
this prestigious list. According to a letter addressed to Aflac
from LATINA Style President and CEO Robert
E. Bard, more than 800 corporations were considered in
compiling the list.
"Aflac is pleased to receive LATINA Style's recognition for the
15th time, as it validates our long term commitment to
diversity," Aflac Chairman and CEO Dan
Amos said. "Successful companies like Aflac understand that
in a market as diverse as the United
States, employing a workforce that represents a variety of
perspectives is essential for maximizing our business. It is also
the right thing to do."
Much of Aflac's submission for review by LATINA Style's judges
focused on the company's LaRED program, which is a proactive
and innovative networking organization created by Aflac for members
of its sales force who are dedicated to working with the
ever-growing Hispanic market. Through the network, members are
provided opportunities to reach Hispanic business owners and
recruits through sponsorship of Hispanic events and conferences in
their local market. In addition, Aflac conducted a digital campaign
to recruit in heavily concentrated Hispanic markets to help further
diversify its sales team.
The Latina Style 50 Companies will be honored during LATINA
Style's Award Ceremony and Diversity Leaders Conference in
Washington D.C. on February 5, 2015. Aflac, along with other
designees, is featured in the August
2014 edition of LATINA Style.
