Acuity has been honored with a Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award, recognizing the Best Places to Work in 2020. The award is based solely on the input of employees who elect to provide feedback on their jobs, work environments, and companies on Glassdoor, one of the world’s largest job and recruiting sites.
“Over 900,000 employers are reviewed on Glassdoor, and out of those, Acuity is ranked in the top 100. We are honored and humbled to be valued so highly as a place to work,” said Ben Salzmann, Acuity President and CEO.
“Our Glassdoor ranking reflects the experience of people who know us best—our employees. It’s a true, transparent reflection of who we are not just as an employer, but as a partner to agents and trusted source of protection to our customers,” said Joan Ravanelli Miller, General Counsel and Vice President - Human Resources.
The Employees’ Choice Award program is now in its 12th year. “This year marks the shift to a culture-first decade in the workplace, and Glassdoor’s Employees’ Choice Awards winners are employers that are prioritizing culture, mission, and employees at the heart of everything they do. By doing so, their employees have spoken and are recognizing them truly as the Best Places to Work in 2020,” said Christian Sutherland-Wong, Glassdoor President.
This latest honor adds to Acuity’s continued and growing recognition as a great place to work. In November, the insurer also received the ACORD Millennial Women's Insurance Advancement Award.
On Glassdoor, current and former employees voluntarily and anonymously provide insights and opinions about their work environments by sharing a company review, designed to capture a genuine and authentic inside look at what a specific job may be like at a particular company. When sharing a company review on Glassdoor, employees are asked to rate their satisfaction with the company overall, and key workplace factors like career opportunities, compensation and benefits, culture and values, senior management, and work/life balance. In addition, employees are asked to describe the best reasons to work at their companies as well as any downsides.
Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work were determined using company reviews shared by U.S.-based employees between October 23, 2018, and October 21, 2019. To be considered for the U.S. large category, a company must have had at least 1,000 employees and have received at least 75 ratings across each of the eight workplace attributes from U.S.-based employees during the period of eligibility.
