SEATTLE, March 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Adaptis, a leading provider of business process outsourcing (BPO) for health plans, tops the list published in Seattle Magazine's March 2005 issue "Best Places to Work." In business since 1996, the company boasts 175 employees well versed in health care, business process management, and technology. Seattle Magazine says "traditional benefits and values are making a big comeback at Seattle's standout companies" and Adaptis is a prime example of those traditions put into everyday use.

"We feel it is important to recognize how employees contribute to the business' success," states Sharon Gorman, vice president of Human Resources at Adaptis. "That's one of the reasons for the profit-sharing contribution to employee's 401K plans, in addition to the employer match. Also, we're well aware employees have lives outside of work, so flexible work arrangements let people balance their work and home lives."
Adaptis employees grow up within the company. Consider Leanne Hughes-Mickel, director of data services for Adaptis. Leanne started with Adaptis in 1995 as a Healthcare Financial Analyst and has risen through the ranks.
"Adaptis invests in the professional development of its employees and promotes from within whenever possible," says Leanne. "I feel lucky to work for an organization that values the interests of its employees and recognizes them for their contributions."
In addition to profit sharing and flexible scheduling, Adaptis supports subsidized parking, a corporate discount on health club membership, and community involvement through their volunteer committee. Another example of the company's focus on their employees is the implementation of Change Management. A fast growing company, Adaptis has quickly recognized that "growing pains" impact everyone involved, so the company integrated Change Management practices into their day-to-day operations.
"Growth is great -- and it impacts us far beyond the bottom line," from Jim Anderson, president and CEO of Adaptis. "Our employees are essential to the continued success of the business, and when we address how success affects them, it benefits everyone -- that's why we implemented Change Management."
