Fortune Shines On AFA Once
Again
American Fidelity Assurance Company (AFA) was
named to FORTUNE magazine's list of the "100
Best Companies to Work For in America" for
the second straight year. It is the only Oklahoma
City company, and one of only two in the state,
to make the prestigious list.
AFA, the largest privately owned
life insurance company in the United States, came
in at No. 34. It is the highest-ranked life and
health insurance company on the list.
"There are so many great companies
in this state - not to mention the entire U.S.
- that all of us at American Fidelity are humbled
to receive this recognition again," said
Bill Cameron, AFA Chairman and CEO. "Making
the FORTUNE list for two years straight is a testament
to the concentrated effort of our people and the
commitment we share to make American Fidelity
a great place to work."
AFA was selected for the list after
a rigorous application and survey process. Each
of the 356 candidate companies was evaluated using
both anonymous employee surveys and a thorough
questionnaire detailing its people policies, practices
and philosophies. Employee responses counted for
two-thirds of the total score.
According to the magazine, "There's
a family feel at this insurance and financial
services outfit - 95% of officers came up through
the ranks. Execs cut cakes each month to celebrate
colleagues' birthdays; and the CEO has lunch with
each new hire."
This is another fine achievement
for American Fidelity as it continues to gain
national recognition for its workplace culture.
AFA ranked No. 1 on Computerworld magazine's list
of the "Best Places to Work in IT" and
was named to Training Magazine's 2005 Top 100
list.
