SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 28 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — EPIC (Edgewood Partners Insurance Center), a retail property, casualty and employee benefits insurance brokerage, has been recognized again as a “Best Place to Work in the Bay Area” by both the San Francisco Business Times and the San Jose/Silicon Valley Business Journal. EPIC has been similarly honored through a survey of their Bay Area team members each year since the company was founded in 2007.
“Receiving this recognition is very exciting because it highlights the passion, energy and enthusiasm of our people,” said Mary Smith, director of human resources for EPIC. “We feel strongly that happy, engaged, productive team members, who are challenged by and enjoy their work, will deliver the superior level of client service excellence EPIC is committed to providing. We believe this is a significant reason for the rapid growth of our company and the satisfaction and loyalty of our clients. It is clearly a primary driver of our success.”
The confidential survey was administered online by Quantum Workplace and included questions that gauged how happy employees are with their work culture, management practices, benefits and overall compensation. This year, employees at 301 companies operating in 12 counties around the Bay Area were surveyed. Of this total, only 125 companies received “Best Places to Work” recognition.
“Though we are pleased and proud to receive this recognition, surveys like this help us to better understand how we’re doing in building a world-class, ‘people-first’ culture that is unique in our industry,” notes Dan R. Francis, EPIC co-founder and CEO. This award is an affirmation that our people value the vision set forth at EPIC, of creating a ‘work life balance’ and helping each other achieve excellence every day.”
