CEOs employees love working for in countries throughout

Among chief executives recognized by U.S. employees, Burdick
received an impressive approval rating of 91% based on the
anonymous and voluntary reviews of WellCare associates shared on
Glassdoor throughout the past year.
According to one Glassdoor review, "I love the way WellCare not
only values their members, but [treats] their employees...They
focus on making sure [the company] is a place where you want to
come to work."
Other reviews highlight the company's "culture, benefits and
true appreciation for employees and growth opportunities," while
others approve of the company's, "diversity, executive leadership
and associates [who] are eager to drive transformation and
improvements."
"I'm honored to be recognized among such an impressive list of
CEOs across the country," said Burdick. "Each morning, I wake up
looking forward to the challenging and innovative work we do to
serve our members and strengthen our communities on behalf of our
state and federal government partners."
"And at the heart of it is our associates who demonstrate a deep
commitment to giving back," added Burdick. "Their continued
dedication and unwavering commitment to our mission makes me proud
to lead this company."
"It's an honor to recognize incredible leaders who, from their
employees' perspectives, exemplify exceptional vision, trust and
communication. Glassdoor's Top CEOs award continues to be more
competitive every year, and I congratulate each leader on their
achievement," said Christian
Sutherland-Wong, Glassdoor president and chief operating
officer. "Today's job seekers are looking for leaders who share
their values and will empower them to bring their full selves to
work. More and more, we're seeing Top CEOs make decisions to shape
the culture of their organizations to help recruit and retain
quality talent, which has a direct correlation to fueling business
success."

Glassdoor, they are asked to rate various factors about their
employment experience, including their overall satisfaction and
other workplace attributes like senior management. As part of these
ratings, employees are also asked to rate whether they approve,
disapprove or are neutral about the job their CEO is doing. Among
the approximately 900,000 companies reviewed on Glassdoor, the
