CNO Financial Group is proud to once again be recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best Midsize Employers for 2026. This award highlights our commitment to creating a workplace that welcomes, values and respects our associates.
Forbes’ America’s Best Midsize Employers list recognizes U.S. companies with 1,000–5,000 employees based on independent research conducted by Forbes and Statista using anonymous, multi‑year employee surveys. The surveys evaluate employees’ workplace experiences and their willingness to recommend their employer to others based on a range of factors including salary, work environment, training programs and opportunities for advancement.
“This recognition by Forbes as one of America’s Best Midsize Employers is especially meaningful because it reflects the voices of our associates,” said Yvonne Franzese, chief human resources officer. “Their willingness to recommend CNO reinforces their trust in our mission and values and our shared commitment to doing what’s right for our customers and for one another. We’re proud our people feel valued, supported and empowered, and we remain dedicated to fostering a workplace where associates learn, develop and grow along with our organization.”
This award adds to CNO’s recent recognition for delivering on our promises and operating with the highest levels of integrity. CNO also was a recipient of Forbes’ 2026 America’s Best Insurance Companies and Newsweek’s 2026 Most Responsible Companies in America awards.
