ST. LOUIS, Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Centene Corporation
(NYSE: CNC), a leading healthcare enterprise committed to helping
people live healthier lives, announced today that it has been
named to the 2023 Fortune Best Workplaces for
Women list, ranking 67 out of 100 companies in the Large
Company category. This marks the first time Centene has appeared on
the annual list, which recognizes companies that demonstrate high
employee-ranked scores in trust, fairness and pride among women
employees.
"Centene's inclusion in this list is a testament to the
company's efforts to create an inclusive workplace in which women
are empowered to grow, lead and thrive," said Centene Chief
Executive Officer Sarah London.
"This recognition would not be possible without the incredible work
of women across this company – who compose 77% of our workforce –
and who play an integral role in advancing our efforts to transform
the health of the communities we serve, one member at a
time."
The list was determined in collaboration with people analytics
firm Great Place to Work®. Rankings were based on the
survey feedback from more than 600,000 women employed by eligible
companies that have at least 50 women, a minimum of 20% of
non-executive female managers and which have at least one female
executive. Companies were ranked based on scores in trust, respect,
credibility, fairness, pride and camaraderie.
Centene has taken great strides to champion women, including the
creation of an Employee Inclusion Group for women, I.N.S.P.I.R.E,
which is specifically designed to provide professional and
leadership opportunities, contribute to community engagement
initiatives and support business innovation and the advancement of
best practices.
The company, under London's leadership, has also updated its
paid time off benefits policy for parental leave. Beginning
Jan. 1, 2023, mothers who give birth
receive eight full weeks of paid leave, fully covered at 100% of
pay. Centene also increased caregiver leave to six weeks of fully
paid time off. This includes parental leave for both fathers and
mothers, including adoptive parents, as well as any employee who
needs to take time away to care for an immediate family member. For
those giving birth, these benefits may be combined for up to 14
weeks of fully paid time off. These changes reflect the company's
fundamental commitment to supporting employees who are central to
supporting the needs of our members.
Today's recognition builds on a growing list of corporate
recognitions for Centene. Most recently, London was named to
FORTUNE's "100 Most Powerful Women" list for the second year in a
row. Centene was also named as one of Fortune's "Best
Workplace in Healthcare;" one of Newsweek's "America's
Greatest Workplaces 2023;" a Top 50 Company for
Diversity by DiversityInc; a 2023 Most Arrived
Company by Fortune for the fifth consecutive year; one
of America's Best Large Employers and Best Employers for
Diversity by Forbes; and was listed on the 2023
Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for the fourth year.
