BOSTON, September 24, 2018 -- Risk Strategies, a leading national specialty insurance brokerage and risk management and consulting firm, today announced it has been named one of the Best Places to Work in Insurance in the annual survey sponsored by Business Insurance, which recognizes employers for their outstanding performance in establishing engaging and satisfying workplaces where employees can thrive, enjoy their work and help their companies grow.

With over 25 specialty practice areas and 1,100 team members, Risk Strategies provides customized insurance and reinsurance placement and risk management advice to clients in more than 50 locations nationwide.

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.

“Being named to Business Insurance’s list of the Best Places to Work in Insurance for 2018 demonstrates that Risk Strategies 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.

Harrisburg, Pa.-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, 25-249 employees; medium, 250-999 employees; and large, 1,000 or more employees. This year’s report features 75 companies of various sizes, from 25 employees to more than 4,000.

The ranking and profiles of the winning companies will be unveiled as a sponsored content supplement in the November issue of Business Insurance and online at BusinessInsurance.com.
