Our purpose is at the core of who we are and what we do every day. Insurance and benefits administration can be complicated and difficult to understand. We earn the trust and loyalty of our customers by providing them with accurate, helpful information and compassionate service.

Developing a Culture of Appreciation
We all come to work wanting to make a difference, add value, and do great work. Appreciating one another helps create and sustain a performance-based culture. WPS uses an internal social platform called Boost to let employees recognize co-workers' contributions. Anyone can recognize a co-worker for everyday things that make a difference or say thanks for a great effort or job well done. Leaders can recognize employees for outstanding performance, living our values, or having an impact on our organization’s success. Appreciating one another’s efforts is the foundation for a culture of positivity and gratitude throughout the organization.

If this sounds like a company you’d like to be a part of, check out our job listings for current opportunities at WPS.

Just as important as what we do is how we do it. Our corporate values guide our decision-making and interactions with colleagues and customers. All employees, from the top down, are expected to demonstrate these four core values.

As a health solutions company and insurance provider, we are often able to assist patients in the healing process. We help make sure people can see a doctor and get treatment for a disease or a combat wound. But helping to heal problems like injustice and systemic racism is not as simple as going to the doctor or taking a pill.

Mike Hamerlik, CEO of WPS, has challenged all employees to take part not only in the healing of our nation, but also within ourselves.  “We must be mindful that all real change,” says Mike, “comes from within us. Having empathy and understanding through difficult and honest conversations with ourselves and others is ultimately the best way to move forward.” But as Mike also points out, these conversations must be followed by action.

WPS is committed to taking action. After holding listening sessions with employees, we have added a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion leadership position and formed an employee-based Accountability Board. These first two steps will help WPS navigate and prioritize initiatives designed to create an inclusive and equitable environment.

We have invited all our employees to join us in these efforts. We invite you to join us, too. Check our job listings for open positions at WPS.

The work you do, your co-workers, and the workplace itself all impact the experience you have at work. Simply put, we believe that if we take care of our employees, they’ll take care of the rest. By providing an empowering employee experience, you are engaged and can perform to your highest ability—and that will result in satisfied customers and strong organizational performance. Every WPS leader is charged with understanding and actively cultivating an empowering employee experience.

Stability and Growth
WPS is a stable, strong, and growing company. We’re big enough to be able to offer competitive pay and benefits, but still small enough to offer you opportunities to make a real difference, solve business challenges, and gain experience that can enhance your career. We’ve been in business since 1946, and we’re still going strong.

Make a Difference
As a health insurer and government benefits administrator, seniors, active military and veterans, and families depend on us to provide them with necessary services. Every day, no matter what your role is at WPS, you have the opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives.

Remote Work Opportunities
WPS offers remote work options in 17 states. The ability to work remotely every day or a few days a week assists employees in achieving a better work-life balance and provides managers with the flexibility to address business needs.

Internships
An internship with WPS provides you with valuable real-world experience in your area of study. This experience will help you seamlessly transition into the workforce following graduation. You will also have the opportunity to make a lasting impact on our company though hands-on projects. Internships can even be done remotely!

Military Support
WPS Health Solutions’ deep commitment to supporting our military and veterans is reflected in our hiring practices. Our affinity group for veterans and our Military Affairs Manager assist Human Resources in deciphering military experience in applicant resumes, support veteran employees, and advise the company on military and veterans’ issues.

WPS Health Solutions also recognizes its military and veteran employees in many ways, including honoring the service birthdays of our military branches and other military holidays. The “Meet our Vets” campaign introduces veteran employees to the rest of the company by showing them in their time of service.

Continuous Performance Management
This process aligns with our culture and business by creating ongoing conversations between you and your manager about your contributions, positive impact, and career aspirations. It also allows the business to be more agile and better meet changing business priorities.

LEO Program
WPS has certified Life Ecology Organization trainers on staff to help you learn ways to increase self-awareness and find healthy ways to deal with daily challenges. Learn how to become more aware of how your brain impacts your feelings and actions, how to use powerful tools to help you build greater resilience, increase trust in yourself and others, and improve overall happiness and effectiveness. As teams, this effect is multiplied when everyone is going through the experience together, meaning individual benefits become team benefits.

Boost
Boost is WPS Health Solutions' employee recognition tool. Boost allows you to give and receive recognition via an internal social platform. You can also receive points-based recognition from WPS leaders and redeem accumulated points for items available in the online rewards catalog.

Green Initiatives
As we upgrade our facilities and systems, our goal is to achieve the highest level of energy efficiency possible. In 2019 alone, WPS completed 10 major energy-efficiency initiatives across our locations. If you’re interested in sustainability, you can join the WPS Green Team. Some of the Green Team’s projects have included upgrading our recycling program, reducing waste associated with printing, and organizing recycling events for employees.

Dress for Your Day
Based on feedback from employees, WPS implemented a “dress for your day” policy. You are empowered to dress in a manner appropriate to your individual workday while still meeting the needs of the business.

WPS Health Solutions is committed to taking an active role in the communities that our customers and employees call home. We don’t think of it as “giving back.” We think of it as doing what’s right. Through sponsorships, donations, volunteerism, and in-kind support, WPS Health Solutions and its family of brands support initiatives focused on enhancing the health and well-being of our communities.

Our key areas of support include:

Women’s health
Children’s health
Military and veterans’ health
Seniors' health
