Empower Retirement Named ‘Best Company to Work for in Colorado’
The metro Denver-based company is recognized for its salaries,
diversity and company performance
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/401k?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#401klt;/agt;–Great-West Financial and its retirement services subsidiary Empower
Retirement have been named the Best Company to Work for in Colorado for
its employee perks, diversity and inclusion and its salaries.
The company was recognized in April by career website Zippia, which
analyzed employer data from all 50 states to determine the best of the
best. It assigned each company a “Zippia Score” based on such factors as
pay and diversity as well as a company’s financial health. Zippia shared
its latest findings with Money
Talks News.com, a nationally syndicated personal and consumer
finance news series and website. Empower’s total score was 4.9 out of 5.
In 2014, Great-West launched Empower Retirement, its retirement services
division. Today, Empower employs more than 6,200 people with
approximately 2,700 employed in its headquarters in Greenwood Village.
Over the past three years Empower has added approximately 900 employees
to support its growth.
Empower Retirement President and CEO Edmund F. Murphy III said that
growth has allowed the company to reinvest in the business.
“It thrills me that our associates have a great place and space to work
where they can innovate, lead and collaborate,” he said.
In its recognition of the company, Zippia said the nearly 6,000
associates “enjoy perks including casual dress code, paid volunteer
time, flexible schedules and tuition reimbursement.” Associates in the
metro Denver office, Zippia noted, also have access to a free on-site
fitness center and an on-site cafeteria and convenience store.
Among the most important aspects of the recognition was an almost
perfect score for diversity and performance.
Empower’s Diversity and Inclusion Council has five Business
Resource Groups designed to enhance a culture of inclusion,
engagement and innovation. This year, more than 700 employees are
participating in the groups, bringing their rich cultural and employment
backgrounds to the table to set and monitor company goals and strategies.
Empower also was named a 2018 Top 100 Innovator in Diversity & Inclusion
by Mogul — a global platform for women to share information about
economic opportunities — for celebrating diversity and inclusion
through its Business Resource Groups, its mentorship and its flexible
work-life balance for all of its employees.
“Our company values begin with our associates,” said Suzanne Sanchez,
Empower Retirement Chief Human Resources Officer. “We strive to do the
right thing, to lead and to collaborate. We know that more than nine
million people trust us to help them with their retirement. Our Business
Resources Groups are vital in creating a welcoming workplace and helping
us understand the communities we serve.
“I am so proud of our employees. I think of them as everyday heroes who
have embraced our mission of helping people pursue the futures they
want.”

Apollo Green to distribute Humboldt Seed Company clonal cannabis genetics to Germany, Portugal and Australia
SAN FRANCISCO, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Humboldt Seed Company (HSC), California’s leading cannabis seed producer, has announced a partnership with Canadian-based Apollo Green to make eight breeder cuts available to researchers, licensed commercial cultivators and home growers in legal markets worldwide. This first-to-market clonal genetics release is a significant milestone and will expand access to distinctive, high-quality cannabis genetics in both established and emerging global markets including Germany, Portugal and Australia.
The curated, breeder-verified selection includes pioneering triploid genetics, such as OG Triploid and Donutz Triploid alongside the legendary cult classic Blueberry Muffin. Also available are All Gas OG with a THC content of 21% and four high-THC strains in the 30-35% range: Golden Sands, Guzzlerz, Jelly Donutz and Orange Creampop. These selections represent the top .01% from HSC’s extensive California pheno-hunting program.
Exports will begin in May under Apollo Green’s Canadian federal cannabis license. All shipments have Canadian phytosanitary certification, ensuring plants have been inspected, and are clean and free of pests.
“Access for all to quality genetics has been our core focus since the beginning,” said HSC Co-founder and Chief Science Officer, Benjamin Lind. “Our science-based approach to breeding aligns perfectly with Apollo Green’s high standards and we are excited to be able to extend these hand-selected cuts to a wider audience, especially at this pivotal time where we’re seeing positive regulatory changes globally.”
Oisin Tierney, Apollo Green Director of Business Development, said, “California has long been recognized for setting industry standards, and we are proud to play a role in bringing these esteemed genetics to cultivators worldwide. The triploids are especially noteworthy in terms of the unprecedented potential for enhanced plant vigor, higher yields, shorter flowering times and superior returns for solventless extraction.”
