LONGWOOD, Fla. (Aug. 14, 2019) – Insurance Office of America announces that it has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2019 honor from the Orlando Sentinel. The award is based on employee feedback that is gathered through a third-party survey administered by Orlando Sentinel research partner Energage LLC, a provider of technology-based employee engagement tools.
“It’s an honor to receive an award that is based on employee feedback. There’s nothing more important than supporting our people and equipping them to serve our valued customers,” said Heath Ritenour, chairman and CEO of IOA. “We strive to be a place our people and our clients never want to leave, and this award helps us to know we’re on the right track. But we know it doesn’t stop there as we focus on becoming better with each day.”
The annual survey is anonymous and measures issues relating to a company’s workplace culture: alignment, connection, effectiveness, engagement and leadership as well as other aspects. This year, employees indicated alignment and connection at the top of their list of priorities. The award is focused on central Florida employers.
