Fortune Magazine has written an interesting article where they rate the 100 best companies to work for in the United States.
My insurance company USAA is rated. They primarily insure military personnel and their dependents. Most of the Board and many of the workers are former military. Their workers and insured are an ethical group, and they provide excellent insurance at fair cost to their membership. The members own the company, and we get a distribution of the profits each year.
They are a fine company, but one thing that caught my eye was that this year they extended employee health benefits to domestic partners. Interesting that a military dominated company made this move.
Fortune explains how they develop their rating.
"Two-thirds of a company's score is based on employees' answers to questions about such factors as job satisfaction, management credibility, and camaraderie. (The other third is based on the companies' responses to detailed questions about pay, benefit programs, hiring practices, recognition programs, diversity efforts, and more."
Interesting that no local or state government made the list, despite the anger in the country about government cost and pension benefits. Apparently they are not such good places to work despite the benefit package.

Job satisfaction, benefits package, and everything else that will make employees satisfied in their job play big roles in molding a business into one of the best places for work. Employees, in turn, make the business more valuable in a lot of aspects. So, how did USAA fare with the ratings? Extending the benefits sure helps a lot.
