AVON, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Magellan Health Services Inc. (NASDAQ:MGLN) has been named a 2011 Top Workplace in the Greater Hartford area, according to a list published in the Hartford Courant's September 25 issue. Magellan was recognized based on the results of an employee survey that was administered in workplaces throughout the region that assessed qualities such as company leadership, training, workplace flexibility, diversity, compensation and overall satisfaction.
"Being a Top Workplace in Hartford is an honor that reflects our vibrant company culture, not just in our Avon, Conn., offices, but in our worksites nationwide," said Karen S. Rohan, president of Magellan. "Our commitment to providing the best specialty health solutions for our customers starts by creating an environment where our employees can thrive."
Magellan's Avon offices, with employees spanning a variety of functions and disciplines, serve as the company's national headquarters. The company provides a flexible, supportive working environment for employees, offering professional development, work-at-home opportunities, employee wellness programs, and competitive compensation and benefits. To promote employee unity and further demonstrate the organization's commitment to corporate citizenship, Magellan's nearly 5,000 employees nationwide participate in a variety of local community causes that support veterans and members of the military, children with special medical needs, the homeless community and people and families confronting mental illness.
Earlier this year, Magellan's Alpharetta, Ga., office also was named a Top Workplace in Metro Atlanta through a similar program.
"At Magellan, employees are empowered to be innovative in order to achieve results for our stakeholders, which is why many people find our work environment appealing," said Caskie Lewis-Clapper, chief human resources officer. "Magellan is a community of smart, compassionate, respectful people making a positive difference for their customers, consumers and colleagues alike."
