A Great Place for Opportunity

By: Scott Hayden, Senior Vice President

At CorVel, we describe our company values by the acronym ACE-IT (Accountability, Commitment, Excellence, Integrity, Teamwork). These core values are supported throughout our organization and have allowed us to build a strong, diverse team of talented individuals. With these values at the forefront of how we conduct business, individuals trust that there are opportunities for growth and continued career development at any position they hold.

Twenty years ago, I joined the CorVel team as a District Manager, where I was responsible for managing operations covering four states on the East Coast. Over time, as I took on more responsibilities, my role at CorVel evolved. Currently, I oversee department productivity, operations management, and client relations across 25 states nationwide as Senior Vice President.

In my experience, I have seen our company’s ACE-IT values exemplified as follows:

• Accountability: Everyone is responsible for their part of the process, and all roles are important and dependent on others.
• Commitment: Continued dedication to the team and our clients.
• Excellence: We strive to go above and beyond for our clients by exceeding expectations.
• Integrity: We do what is right in all our actions and day-to-day responsibilities.
• Teamwork: Everyone works together towards the same goal, and no individual is more important than another.

By fostering a team-based work environment, where each team member feels valuable and capable of success, CorVel has cultivated leaders across the organization. These ACE-IT values and the consistent focus in this area contributes to our recognition as a Great Place to Work® company. Individuals trust they will be recognized for their efforts and receive support from their managers and peers throughout their day.

Over the years, it’s been rewarding to see employees at CorVel advance in their careers. In fact, 100% of my direct report group has been promoted to a different position than they had when they first started. For instance, one of our employees joined the team four years ago as an adjuster based in Louisiana. Since then, he has been promoted to Account Manager for the Central Sunbelt region, Operations Manager, and now is a District Manager overseeing operations for Alabama and Mississippi.

As a constantly changing and growing company, our commitment to providing opportunities for advancement enables every team member to positively impact the direction we move as a company. CorVel is a company that genuinely cares about its employees and customers, earning its title for a Great Place to Work® company.
