Why you want to work there
The IT department at this Chicago-based health insurer has its own employee recognition vehicle, the 5-Star awards program, which was set up to recognize, reward and celebrate IT's highest-achieving individuals, teams and managers. Each fall, 5-Star nominations pour in from staff and management. A committee then reviews all nominations and forwards the names of finalists to senior IT leaders, who choose the winners. The honorees are recognized at a year-end celebration, and each individual and management winner receives $5,000. A total of $120,000 was given out to winners in 2012.
