Aflac

A career with Aflac is more than just a job. We are committed to treating our employees like family, offering a supportive work environment with excellent benefits, competitive salaries, and award winning resources. 

Company Background

• Brothers John, Paul, and Bill Amos founded Aflac in 1955.
  Aflac is a Fortune 500 company.
• Aflac Incorporated is an international holding company based in Columbus, Georgia.
• Aflac introduced one of the world's first cancer expense insurance policies in 1958.
• Since the 1980s, Aflac has added many new insurance policies, including accident, short-term disability, hospital intensive care, hospital confinement indemnity, lump sum cancer, lump sum critical illness, specified health event, life, dental, and vision.
• Aflac has the largest on-site child-care facilities in Georgia: Imagination Station and Imagination Station Too. Together, the facilities have capacity for 621 children.

Our diversity efforts don't stop at our revolving doors; they extend into our community and across the globe. Whether by the diverse mix that makes up our employee base or by the diverse supplier base we strive to support with our products and business opportunities, we create an environment of understanding and empathy.

That enlightened environment allows us to serve our customers with the compassion and respect they deserve when they need us most-during life-altering events such as accidents and illnesses, or as they prepare for future expenses.

Our Diversity Council's mission further reinforces our organization's diversity efforts. The Aflac Diversity Council develops, supports, and implements diversity-related initiatives that help Aflac better achieve its business objectives.

Aflac employees enjoy a supportive work environment and organizational culture with an open-door management philosophy, excellent benefits, competitive salaries, award-winning training and development classes, advancement opportunities, Georgia's largest on-site child-care centers, a monthly employee magazine, community activities, an annual Employee Appreciation Week, and an annual holiday party for Aflac employees and their families.

Aflac is committed to creating and sustaining a work environment and company culture, where all employees of our diverse workforce can perform at their very best. We want employees to maintain a healthy work/life balance. Employees are encouraged to schedule personal time off (PTO) to enable them to attend their children's or family's activities or to take care of other personal priorities.

We're a serious company with promises to keep to more than 50 million people worldwide. But that doesn't mean we can't enjoy being at the workplace and have some fun along the way! In fact, camaraderie and fun are encouraged so strongly at Aflac that they are a part of our values.
