Four percent of Moffitt’s 4,197 employees work in IT. They have the option of incorporating flextime and participating in job sharing. Employees can develop technical skills and access Web-based and third-party training through Knowledge Management Services. This department gives new employees access to orientation and Web-based training.
Moffitt’s benefits package also includes on-site child care, medical and dental insurance, life insurance, long-term disability coverage, prepaid tuition assistance, pension plan, 403(b) plan, and parental leave. Moffitt also offers a free onsite health care clinic for employees with no co-pay required. Clinicians evaluate and treat minor illnesses, monitor chronic conditions, and write prescriptions.

“To be among the Best Places to Work in IT, it’s not enough to seek out and hire the most talented IT professionals, offer them competitive pay and provide great benefits,” said Scot Finnie, editor in chief of Computerworld. “Smart IT people realize that they need to get up to speed on their employer’s revenue opportunities. The organizations that made this year’s Best Places to Work list are creating a work environment that both trains and encourages IT personnel to pursue business-driven priorities.”
