Company earns distinction for fifth time overall in 2024
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee has been recognized as a 2024 Best Employer for Women by Forbes, ranking No. 48 out of 600 employers included on the list.
The company has been named to the Forbes Best Employers for Women list five times, also receiving the award in 2018, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
“BlueCross is proud of the long-term commitment we’ve made to creating a workplace where everyone is respected and part of the team,” said Ron Harris, vice president of corporate workforce diversity for BlueCross. “That’s reflected in the strong presence of women in both our workforce and our leadership teams – women make up 75% of the BlueCross workforce and 62% of managers.”
The Best Employers for Women rankings were determined through an independent survey from a sample of approximately 150,000 women who work for companies with at least 1000 people.
Forbes partnered with market research company Statista on the Best Employers for Women rankings. Survey participants were asked to rate their employer on topics such as inclusive culture, opportunities for career development, equitable salary and wages, as well as how likely they’d be to recommend their employer to others.
This designation is the fourth Forbes ranking earned by the company this year. In early 2024, BlueCross ranked 11th on the list of America’s Best Large Employers. The insurer was also honored as one of the country’s Best Employers for Diversity for the seventh consecutive year as well as a Best Employer for New Graduates.
