Associated is a privately owned insurance and risk management advisory firm. We collaborate with businesses and individuals locally and nationally to provide a variety of solutions to ensure a more secure future. There are many contributing factors that make Associated a best place to work, starting with our leadership and employees. Together we cultivate our culture, which is built on collaboration and care. One of the company’s motos is “We take the needs of others personally”. This includes teammates and clients, and is reiterated consistently in company meetings. The leaders lead by example and with authenticity. They openly invite employee input, listen and act on it. There are multiple channels provided for employee feedback including company huddles, quarterly sessions dedicated to asking the President questions, and monthly lunches with the CEO and President. Collaboration is fostered through inviting employees to cocreate our culture by participating in various employee led committees. Additionally, the company promotes connection through sponsoring numerous in-person events allowing geographically disbursed employees to come together at least a couple of times a year. Care is demonstrated through recognizing the whole person, leading with empathy, and providing a robust benefits offerings that support physical, mental and financial wellness.
