Recognition in Metro Detroit: A Testament to Employee Dedication

Selected from hundreds of businesses in Southeastern Michigan, Amerisure’s recognition highlights its commitment to creating a workplace that thrives on collaboration, innovation, and mutual respect. “We’re thrilled to be recognized for the strength of our workplace culture and the collaborative spirit of our talented employees,” expressed Erin Buddie, Chief Human Resources Officer at Amerisure. “This award is a true testament to the passion of our employees and leaders, and it speaks to our dedication to fostering an environment that allows employees to thrive while delivering exceptional service to our customers.”

The criteria for this honor include various facets of organizational operation such as compensation, benefits, employee enrichment, diversity equity and inclusion, work-life blend, and leadership strategy. Each category is meticulously evaluated to ensure that not only does the business excel in one area, but it provides a holistic, enriching work environment.

Atlanta’s Recognition: Sustaining a Culture of Excellence

Similarly, the Atlanta office’s repeated recognition underscores its sustained excellence in fostering a workplace that values both the professional and personal growth of its employees. “Receiving this recognition once again exemplifies the outstanding work culture at Amerisure,” said Ben Nichols, Regional Vice President of Field Marketing and Underwriting for the Central Region. “Our values demonstrate how a thoughtful approach to business can be rewarding for all. Being a Best and Brightest Company to Work For is a testament to our passion for working together as One Amerisure.”

Celebrating Success and Building Community

Both the Detroit and Atlanta recognitions are part of the annual Best and Brightest competitions sponsored by the NABR, which celebrates organizations that cultivate better businesses, create richer lives, and build stronger communities. The comprehensive review by an independent research firm ensures that only the best of the best are awarded, making this accolade particularly noteworthy. All 2024 winning organizations from Metro Detroit are invited to an awards ceremony at the Henry in Dearborn on November 7, 2024, while the Atlanta winners will celebrate at a digital event on June 25, 2024.

“We are thrilled to be ranked among the Best Places to Work in IT by Computerworld,” said Amjed Al-Zoubi, chief information officer at Amerisure. “Through our engineering culture, Amerisure’s IT team is continuously identifying ways to improve processes and enhance the service experience for our employees, agency partners and �鶹ԭ��. This recognition is also a testament to our people focus and digital transformation initiatives that are helping us move the organization forward.”

The Best Places to Work in IT is an annual ranking, by industry experts, of the top work environments for technology professionals by Foundry’s Computerworld. This is Amerisure’s first time participating in the program and the company was ranked 5th among small-sized organizations on the Best Places to Work in IT list. Computerworld also ranked Amerisure as second overall in benefits & compensation; diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI); and career development.

“We’re so excited to receive our fifth workplace award in 2022. Offering great benefits & compensation is just one part of the overall package that helps create a healthy culture where all employees can be their authentic selves at work,” said Erin Buddie, Amerisure’s vice president of human resources.

The winners’ list is compiled based on a questionnaire regarding company offerings in categories such as benefits; career development; diversity, equity and inclusion; future of work; and training and retention.

“Adapting to a ‘new normal’ has put additional demands on IT organizations at companies of all sizes. This year’s winning companies have stepped up with increased IT staffing and a variety of innovative professional development opportunities. The result of these efforts is that not only are IT staffs engaged and productive, but the entire business benefits from IT’s ability to support evolving workplace models and changing business and customer needs,” said Rob O’Regan, global director of content strategy at Foundry. “Importantly, this year’s award winners are laser-focused on diversity initiatives to expand the IT talent pool and promote workplace diversity and inclusion.”

Amerisure is a frequent recipient of workplace awards. In 2022, the company was named among the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For^® in the Nation, Metro Detroit, and Atlanta; and was recognized by Business Insurance as a Best Place to Work in Insurance.
