Inland Empire Health Plan named a 2024 Fortune Best Workplaces for Women

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Great Place To Work^® and Fortune magazine have selected Inland Empire Health Plan as a 2024 Fortune Best Workplaces for Women™.

It is the first year the local health plan has been named to the prestigious list, coming in at No. 91 alongside companies across the country like Lennar Corporation, Intuit, Inc., and Edward Jones.

"We do not take these honors lightly and remain committed to maintaining an enriching environment for all who walk through these doors," said Supriya Sood, IEHP's chief people officer.

Jarrod McNaughton, the health plan's chief executive officer, agreed.

"Fostering a diverse workplace allows us to better serve our members," he said. "When they see a reflection of themselves, we can build better trust and care for all."

Great Place To Work^® determines its Best Workplaces for Women lists by analyzing the survey responses of nearly 600,000 women employed by Great Place To Work Certified™ companies that were eligible for the list. IEHP was certified as a Great Place To Work™ in June and named a Fortune 2024 Best Workplaces™ in Health Care in September. 

In addition, companies must meet the following criteria:

• They must employ at least 50 women.
• Have at least 20% of non-executive managers who are women.
• Employ at least one female C-suite executive.

"Being recognized on such a large, national scale allows for more visibility on the great work IEHP does to live out its mission, vision and values, from creating pathways to optimal health for our more than 1.5-million-member community, to strengthening opportunities for career growth in one of California's fastest growing regions," said Susie White, the health plan's chief operating officer.

According to both Fortune and Great Place to Work^®, the Best Workplaces for Women™ list is highly competitive. Survey responses paint a picture of a company's overall workplace experience, such as its ability to offer positive outcomes for women regardless of job role, race, sexual orientation, work status or other demographic identifier.

Great Place To Work^® further determines eligibility using gender balance data compared with industry data provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Companies are also assessed on how "representation changes as women rise from front-line positions to the board of directors."

"Fortune congratulates companies that made the cut for the Best Workplaces for Women," said the magazine's Editor-in-Chief Alyson Shontell. "Based on survey responses of so many women nationwide, these companies clearly demonstrate they have created workplaces where many feel valued, supported, and encouraged to do their best work."
