In honor of Women's History Month, we bring you the Top 20 companies in the finance and insurance industries that are perfect for women who value workplace culture, and learning how to develop and grow their careers.
Working Mother magazine and the National Association for Female Executives (NAFE), one of the largest associations for women professionals and business owners in the U.S., partnered to release the 2016 list of the Top Companies for Executive Women. The list includes 60 companies in total, 32 of which are related to health care, the health industry, business and the financial industry, and 20 of those we are featuring here.
So, what makes these companies great places for women to work? According to the methodology posted on the Working Mother website, the companies decide if they want to participate in the application process in which they are asked about career advancement for women within the company, employee engagement and other requirements. This year's list is based on data collected from 2014.
Six companies with ties to the P&C insurance industry made the list this year. Can you guess which ones?
Here are the top companies in the health insurance and financial industries for women for 2016, in alphabetical order, with the number of employees, the percentage of female employees (which are estimates based on NAFE's list or the companies' information), corporate programs for women, and brief information about the company and what it offers:
