Conner Insurance was named one of the top 100 Best Places to Work in Indiana for the second year in a row. Achieving this honor in 2014, and now in 2015, Conner is recognized among an elite class of organizations that include Katz, Sapper & Miller; Edward Jones; and Microsoft. “Being recognized for this achievement back-to-back years is phenomenal. It’s nice to show our valued team members how much we care about them, and that their dedication to us, and our clients, makes this award possible,” said Ben Conner, CEO, Conner Insurance. Winners were selected from four categories, with Conner falling within the small companies of between 15 and 74 U.S. employees. The other three categories consist of medium companies between 75 and 249 U.S. employees; large companies of between 250 and 999 U.S. employees; and major companies with 1,000 or more U.S. employees. The actual rankings for the companies will be unveiled at a May 7th awards dinner, presented in partnership with Hylant, at the JW Marriott in downtown Indianapolis. “These are organizations that demonstrate to their employees through their culture, communication, career opportunities, benefits and more how much they value their contributions to the overall success and bottom line,” said Indiana Chamber President and CEO, Kevin Brinegar. In addition to the May 7 awards dinner, winners will be recognized via a special section of the Indiana Chamber’s bimonthly BizVoice® magazine and through Inside INdiana Business with Gerry Dick – both of which reach statewide audiences. Additional program partners are the Best Companies Group, Indiana Economic Development Corporation, Indiana State Council of SHRM and the Wellness Council of Indiana. The 2015 Best Places to Work in Indiana awards dinner is open to the public. Individual tickets and tables are available at www.indianachamber.com/specialevents. All companies that participated in the 2015 Best Places to Work program receive an in-depth evaluation identifying strengths and weaknesses according to their employees. In turn, this report can be used in developing or enhancing employee retention and recruitment programs.
