How Aflac Raised Its Reputation Pulse Score for Its CSR Initiatives
I recently had a conversation with the Reputation Institute, a leading research and advisory firm that collects and analyzes data and proffers advice about corporate reputation.

Creative Thinking: The Not-So-Secret Weapon

We use a simple model to address very complex and tough challenges that not only our organization and our 1 million customers face, but also brilliant scientists and researchers.
