Chicago Tribune Names Insureon a Winner of the Chicagoland Top Workplaces 2024 Award

CHICAGO, Nov. 15, 2024 – Insureon, the premier digital agency for small business insurance and part of HUB International, the 5th largest insurance broker, is proud to announce that it has been recognized as a Chicago Tribune Top Workplace for 2024. This prestigious award, presented by the Chicago Tribune in partnership with Energage, celebrates companies with outstanding workplace culture and high employee engagement and satisfaction.

“It’s an honor to be named a Top Workplace by the Chicago Tribune,” said Jeff Kroeger, President of Insureon. “This recognition underscores the strength of our team and their commitment to supporting small business clients in Chicago and across the country. Our growth and success reflect the hard work of each teammate, and we’re grateful for their dedication.”

Insureon was honored in the Small Employer category (249 or fewer employees) for its dedication to an empowering, rewarding environment that emphasizes culture, growth opportunities, and meaningful benefits. Since shifting to a “Virtual Only” model in 2022, Insureon has used initiatives such as monthly newsletters, quarterly town halls, peer appreciation programs, and tailored communication to keep remote team members connected and valued.

The annual Chicago Tribune Top Workplaces ranking is conducted by workplace culture research firm Energage. Unlike traditional award programs, Top Workplaces bases its recognition solely on feedback from employees themselves, collected through the Energage Workplace Survey. This approach highlights companies of all sizes and industries dedicated to building exceptional work environments, resulting in a list of Top Workplaces that prioritize their people above all else. This proprietary, data-driven survey evaluates key areas such as:

  • Leadership quality
  • Commitment to a people-first culture
  • Employee satisfaction and professional development
  • Work environment and supervisor support
  • Training and available resources
  • Compensation and benefits
  • Overall employee engagement

“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That's something to be proud of. In today's market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That's paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”

Since its founding over ten years ago, Insureon has grown rapidly, driven by double-digit growth each year since 2019. After joining HUB International in 2022, Insureon and HUB have seamlessly integrated, achieving an impressive employee retention rate, with turnover under 5% since the acquisition.
