MJ Insurance, a leading property-casualty and employee benefits agency, was recently named one of the ‘Best Places to Work in Insurance’ by Business Insurance and Best Companies Group.

The annual program was created six years ago to identify, recognize and honor the best employers in insurance. To be considered for the award companies had to fulfill specific eligibility requirements including having a facility in the United States, have at least 25 employees, and be in a business for a minimum of one year.

Companies from across the country entered the two-part process to be considered. Companies are evaluated on their workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. Employees are also encouraged to take a survey rating their employee experience with the company.

MJ Insurance has also been named one of the “Best Places to Work” in Indiana by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce for six consecutive years. MJ ranked No. 14 in the chamber’s medium-sized companies’ category.

“We are honored to be named a ‘Best Place to Work’ by multiple organizations,” said MJ Insurance CEO Michael H. Bill. “We are proud to have hardworking and dedicated employees in both our Indiana and Arizona offices.”

MJ Insurance, with offices in Indiana and Arizona, is a property-casualty and employee benefit agency that, since 1964, has grown from a two-person start-up to an agency with more than 125 employees. In 2014, MJ celebrates its 50th ‘golden’ anniversary.

MJ also offers complete employee benefit programs including major medical, group disability, group life and onsite employer clinics. MJ Insurance currently has clients in 16 countries and in every U.S. state.
