Anthem

RANK57

When the pandemic hit, insurance giant Anthem held listening sessions and developed fresh ways to support associates. The Associate CARE Community of Service was an online community—complete with 24/7 concierge service—that assisted employees in need of food, transportation, childcare, and more. (It has since been discontinued and replaced with other wellness benefits.) Anthem also realizes the value of self-care; during Mental Health Awareness Month in 2021, employees tallied 500,000 #MeMinutes—time spent doing things like meditating, listening to podcasts, or chatting with friends. Anthem’s interest in employee input doesn’t end with COVID-era programs. The company’s IdeaHub site allows staffers to share innovative ideas for the future. “The organization as a whole is transformational,” says one employee. “They are open to new ideas, and there is no discrimination based on who the idea comes from. This fosters a great work environment and allows everyone to be heard.” Read the Great Place to Work review.
