The Best Places to Work award recognizes insurance companies for excellence in employee engagement and satisfaction. To be considered, a firm’s employee benefits are reviewed, as are the results of a voluntary, confidential survey taken by employees on the firm’s corporate culture, with employee satisfaction a key metric.

“We are elated to have received the Best Places to Work in Insurance honor,” said Brian F. Griffin, president and COO of The Plexus Groupe. “The award is testament to the culture built and maintained by our associates, who are committed to client service and making the workplace a better place for their colleagues.”

The company’s headquarters features a walking workstation where associates can burn calories while catching up on emails. Also, Plexus sponsors employee-run philanthropy, social and wellness committees aiming to make an impact beyond the office. Furthermore, complementary fresh fruit and vegetables and healthy drinks are provided throughout the work week.

The Plexus Groupe provides expertise in employee benefits, property and casualty, retirement plans, human resources administration and consulting, technology, personal lines and mergers & acquisitions.
