Aflac New York supports the continual professional development of employees and believes that employees who are stimulated and rewarded will stay and grow with the Aflac New York family.
Once a part of our family, employees can gain valuable industry experience, continue to develop their skills, and chart their career paths. They are offered career growth opportunities through the company's internal job promotion process. Job advancement opportunities are published internally on the Human Resources Web site before they are advertised externally.
