The company also ranked #1 as a top provider
of customer service among health insurance plans for a second year
in a row.
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Dec. 19,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Health Net has been named by
Newsweek to the annual "America's Greatest Workplaces 2023
for Diversity" ranking. The ranking scored 1,000 companies across
the United States that employees
say respect and value diversity in their workforce. This year,
Newsweek conducted interviews and surveys during a
period of intense scrutiny and dialogue about how organizations can
better foster diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace.
Health Net was also named a top provider of customer service,
ranking number one for "America's Best Customer Service 2023" among
health insurance plans.
"These awards and distinctions demonstrate our commitment to
creating a diverse and equitable workplace that delivers
best-in-class benefits to our members," said Brian Ternan, President and CEO of Health Net.
"We are proud to be recognized for creating an environment where
all employees feel respected and valued."
Scorings are based on a large-scale employee study, in
cooperation with Plant-A Insights Group, that reviewed publicly
available data, interviews with Human Resources professionals and
an anonymous online survey of a diverse pool of employees.
Respondents were asked questions about corporate culture, working
environment and other subjects at both their own companies and
others they were familiar with.
"Most companies these days talk a lot about diversity. It is
common to hear employers emphasizing their efforts to recruit and
promote people of different ages, races, genders, sexuality and
abilities," said Nancy Cooper,
Global Editor in Chief at Newsweek on Newsweek.com. "It is
well-documented that workplaces filled with people with different
worldviews are more creative, more innovative and generally make
better decisions."
Health Net is committed to creating an inclusive and respectful
environment for all employees. To further enhance their inclusive
workforce culture, the company has cultivated companywide Employee
Inclusion Groups (EIGs). Open to all Health Net employees, the EIGs
are voluntary, employee-led groups that celebrate diversity,
focusing on the LGBTQIA+ community, women and multicultural
backgrounds. These groups host discussions and events that provide
professional and leadership development opportunities, contribute
to community engagement initiatives, and support business
innovation and best practices.
