The Partners Group, a leading Northwest based financial and insurance consulting firm, has been named as one of 75 companies in the nation to make the Best Places to Work in Insurance program, which recognizes employers for their outstanding performance in establishing workplaces where employees can thrive, enjoy their work and help their companies grow. This is the third consecutive year The Partners Group has achieved this award.
Best Places to Work in Insurance is an annual feature presented by 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. “Many years ago The Partners Group concluded the road to becoming a great company would travel through the village of being an employer of choice. Being awarded Business Insurance‘s Best Places to work in Insurance places TPG on the national stage of working towards this goal. We are humbled that our employees voted us this recognition,” said President and CEO of The Partners Group, Rod Cruickshank.
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. Doreen Barnhouse, VP of Operations at The Partners Group, said, “We focus on our people, building their skills in the areas of their strengths which leads to an overall increase in job satisfaction. It’s fun to discover the unique gifts and interests our employees possess, and then incorporate them into their work so they can do the work they like to do best.” Barnhouse added, “We love our employees and care about their job satisfaction, health and families. As much as possible we want a long term relationship where we can grow and build together. It is great to receive the feedback of this award as a recognition we are on the right track.”
“Being named to Business Insurance’s list of the Best Places to Work in Insurance for 2016 demonstrates that The Partners Group has built a culture in which employees are supported and engaged, which benefits their customers and the employers’ financial performance,” says Business Insurance Publisher Peter Oxner.
