Award recognizes outstanding employers in the insurance industry
Society Insurance has been named in the Business Insurance Best Places to Work in Insurance 2022 program, which recognizes employers for establishing exceptional workplaces where employees can thrive, enjoy their work and help their companies grow. Society ranked 11th in the nationwide Medium Employer category, which consists of companies with 250 to 999 U.S. employees.
Based in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, Society Insurance insures restaurants, bars and other small-to-medium businesses in nine states. The company ensures growth and development opportunities for its 332 employees via personalized career coaching, tuition reimbursement and student loan repayment. Employees receive a generous compensation and benefits package, including a 401(k) profit-sharing match and defined-contribution retirement deposits.
Society’s culture reflects its core belief that employees who lead a balanced, happy life are motivated to excel in serving their customers. Remote work and telecommuting options, flexible scheduling and ample paid time off allow each person to create their ideal work/life balance. Wellness and health club reimbursements, free annual health risk assessments and complimentary health nurse coaching sessions are key pieces of the wellness program. And because nothing feels better than giving back, Society promotes community stewardship with grants from the employee-led Charity Committee, paid volunteer time off and an annual charitable match program.
“We are honored to be recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in the insurance industry,” said Heather Boyer, Society Insurance president. “The survey results show the importance of our company values and how they build a strong culture of belonging that is present in the engagement of our employees. We care about our employees and their well-being. When employees feel valued, cared for and that they belong here, they in turn take care of others by delivering an exceptional customer experience for our independent agents, policyholders and claimants.”
Best Places to Work in Insurance is an annual sponsored-content feature presented by the Custom Publishing unit of Business Insurance and Best Companies Group that lists the agents, brokers, insurance companies and other providers with the highest levels of employee engagement and satisfaction. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania-based Best Companies Group identifies the leading employers in the insurance industry by conducting a free two-part assessment of each company. The first part is a questionnaire completed by the employer about company policies, practices and demographics; the second part is a confidential employee survey on engagement and satisfaction.
The program divides employers into the categories of small, 25 to 249 employees; medium, 250 to 999 employees; and large, 1,000 or more employees. This year’s report features 100 companies of various sizes, from 25 employees to nearly 9,000.
The ranking and profiles of the winning companies were unveiled as a supplement in the November 2022 issue of Business Insurance and online at businessinsurance.com.
