FOND DU LAC – Society Insurance has been named one of the best places to work in the insurance industry.
The Fond du Lac-based mutual insurance company was recognized in the Business Insurance Best Places to Work in Insurance 2025 program. The program recognizes employers for establishing exceptional workplaces where employees can thrive, enjoy their work and help their companies grow, according to a community announcement.
Society Insurance offers specialized business insurance coverage and has a culture rooted in the belief that positively engaged employees deliver exceptional customer experiences.
Flexible scheduling, remote work options and generous paid time off
The company offers flexible scheduling, remote work options and generous paid time off to support work-life harmony. Employees are also encouraged to give back through paid volunteer time, a charitable match program and grants from the employee-led Charity Committee.
Society Insurance prioritizes employee health with access to a comprehensive wellness program, as well as health coaching and virtual workout classes. In recent years, the company introduced paid time off specifically for mental health.
The company fosters employee growth through personalized career coaching, tuition reimbursement and student loan repayment assistance. Team members benefit from a competitive compensation and benefits package, including a 401(k) profit-sharing match and defined-contribution retirement deposits.
Best Places to Work in Insurance is an annual sponsored content feature
“Being named one of the Best Places to Work in the insurance industry is a true honor,” said Heather Boyer, president and CEO of Society Insurance. “We look to foster a collaborative and positive culture that supports our employees and delivers an exceptional experience to our independent agency partners and commercial policyholders.”
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.
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 100 companies of various sizes, from 25 employees to more than 4,000.
The ranking and profiles of the winning companies will be unveiled in the November issue of Business Insurance and online at BusinessInsurance.com.
