Best Places to Work 2025: Arkansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield

1 min read

Little Rock | Employees: 3,214 | Industry: Insurance | 12 Time Honoree

Arkansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield helps thousands of Arkansans maintain their health every year — including its employees. From companywide wellness initiatives to a robust benefits package, ABCBS is prioritizing prevention and care for staff.

One unique way the company is giving back is through “Me-TO” (like PTO), where employees are provided two half-day blocks of paid-time off for self-care or cultural observances.

ABCBS employees can also participate in the S.M.A.R.T. Start Challenge, a wellness initiative encouraging participants to build healthy habits, enhanced by the company’s health perks, like the free Employee Assistance Program aimed at mental and behavioral health; on-demand digital health tools with fitness, nutrition and financial wellness resources; and comprehensive condition management benefits.

Longtime employees are rewarded with milestone bonuses and annual celebrations for those with a decade-plus of tenure. Looking ahead, ABCBS has a comprehensive recruiting program to attract diverse next-generation talent.

Flexible work options and plenty of PTO — employees get 19 paid days off their first year — help round out ABCBS’ wellness culture.
