CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee (BlueCross) has been named by U.S. News & World Report as one of its 2024-2025 Best Companies to Work For: Private Companies.
BlueCross was rated among the top privately owned companies in healthcare services on factors most heavily considered by job seekers during their employment search.
“Our people are the heart of our organization, and they tell us our workplace culture and benefits set us apart,” said Roy Vaughn, BlueCross senior vice president and chief human resources officer. “We continually review our benefits and supports to ensure we’re seen as an employer of choice.”
U.S. News’ ratings reflect the ever-changing sentiments impacting employee decision-making when evaluating the “best” company for them. These sentiments are examined using factors that include quality of pay and benefits, work-life balance and flexibility, job and company stability, physical and psychological comfort, belongingness and esteem, and career opportunities and professional development.
“Job seekers understand the influence prospective employers hold in determining their quality of life and overall happiness,” said U.S. News Vice President of Careers Carly Chase. “The list reveals private companies that scored high on multiple metrics that promote a positive work environment and everyday employee experience.”
The Best Companies to Work For: Private Companies list features 248 companies across 18 industries. To calculate the ratings, U.S. News only considered privately owned companies with at least 5,000 employees and had at least 75 Glassdoor reviews written between 2020 and 2023. Developed considering insights from a panel of six experts, the methodology also factors in data, including employee sentiment and regulatory enforcement data, gathered from U.S. News partner Revelio Labs.
