We work hard. We play hard. We strive for a culture of mutual courtesy and respect in our workplace relationships. We provide exceptional quality and superlative customer service in our partnerships with our clients. We emphasize professionalism and empathy in our contact with members, providers and everyone else we encounter. The Golden Rule is our company guidepost.

Now our company has been recognized by Forbes Magazine as one of America’s Best Mid-size Employers for 2018. The ranking was based on surveys of 30,000 Americans working for employers with more than 1000 employees. Rawlings ranked 244th on the list in the mid-size employer category which includes companies with 1,000 to 5,000 employees.

As a company, we have focused on improving our corporate culture and employee satisfaction by enhancing our already generous compensation packages. We have expanded our tuition reimbursement program because we believe in investing in our employees’ futures. We have started leadership education classes because we want to provide a path for career growth and opportunity to our staff. And we offer a full range of benefits to protect our employees’ and their family’s health and well-being. All of these efforts are aimed at improving our company as a workplace because we know our employees are the basis of our continued position as the industry leader.

As Mr. Rawlings reflected, “I would say that there is not a single day that goes by that I do not think about the well-being of our staff and my responsibility for their continued employment and how to create a place for them to have a successful career.” This philosophy is woven into the fabric of our company. Working together, we have succeeded in creating a special workplace. Congratulations, all, this recognition is truly a team effort!
