Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), one of the nation’s leading consumer healthcare companies, has earned 2026 Great Place To Work Certification™ for the fifth consecutive year and has again been named to the PEOPLE Companies That Care® list. Together, these recognitions reflect Humana’s continued focus on building a workplace where employees feel supported, connected to purpose and empowered to make a meaningful impact.

Great Place to Work certification is based on direct employee feedback about workplace culture, trust, and overall experience. In 2026, 79% of Humana employees said the company is a great place to work, compared with 57% of employees at a typical U.S.-based company. Survey results also highlight that 90% of employees said they feel welcome when they join the company, 86% said they feel good about the ways Humana contributes to the community, and 84% said people care about each other at Humana.

Published by PEOPLE, the Companies That Care list recognizes U.S. companies that have succeeded in business while demonstrating outstanding respect, care and concern for their employees, communities and the environment. Humana’s continued recognition underscores the company’s focus on supporting teammates, strengthening communities and making it easier for the millions of people it serves to achieve their best health.

“These recognitions are especially meaningful because they reflect the experiences our teammates help create every day,” said Michelle O’Hara, Chief Human Resources Officer for Humana. “Our people are the driving force behind Humana’s purpose and success. When teammates feel valued, supported and connected to meaningful work, they are empowered to innovate, collaborate and make a greater impact. That not only strengthens our culture—it helps us better serve our members and patients, support our communities and deliver on our commitment to helping people achieve their best health.”

Over the past year, Humana has continued to advance its culture and community impact through efforts that support employee engagement, whole-person health and service to others. Examples of how Humana’s culture showed up in action over the past year include:
