Managing general agent CHES Special Risk has announced that it has been certified as a Great Place to Work following an independent analysis conducted by Great Place to Work Institute Canada.
The certification is based on direct feedback from employees, who participated in anonymous surveys about their workplace experience.
“Our top priority has always been to build an inclusive culture free from any bias. We strive to provide one of the best employee welfare programs by investing in every employee's personal and professional development so that they can thrive as the organization scales. That is how the company has blossomed,” said CHES Special Risk president and CEO Gary Hirst.
Great Place to Work utilizes proprietary assessment tools, advisory services, and certification programs to recognize Canada’s best workplaces.
“We are always looking for talented people to join our team across Canada with a promise to mentor them internally and externally through continued education they may take, on top of internal promotion opportunities,” added Hirst.
Last month, CHES Special Risk put out a recruitment call for commercial underwriters, as the MGA looks to build up its presence in Western Canada. The company is offering its underwriters benefits such as flexible works hours; maternity and paternity top-ups; covered dental, orthodontics, and eyewear benefits; an annual fitness subsidy; and life & disability insurance.
