Maximum has been a formidable competitor in the wholesale P&C market for over a quarter century. As the company has expanded, prioritizing team culture and employee wellness has become essential. Recognizing the value of maintaining strong connections across its offices and teams has been key to achieving a place among the top 10 wholesale brokers in the United States.

Joe Messina, President and CEO, said, “As we celebrate our 26th year in business, we’re incredibly honored to receive this recognition. It’s a testament to the dedication and hard work of everyone in our firm. We take immense pride in our talented team and the supportive environment we’ve cultivated for all our employees.”

Best Places to Work in Insurance is an annual sponsored content feature presented by the Custom Publishing unit of Business Insurance and Best Companies Group that lists the agents, brokers, insurance companies and other providers with the highest levels of employee engagement and satisfaction. Harrisburg, Pa.-based Best Companies Group identifies the leading employers in the insurance industry by conducting a free two-part assessment of each company. The first part is a questionnaire completed by the employer about company policies, practices and demographics. The second part is a confidential employee survey on engagement and satisfaction.

The program divides employers into the categories of small, 25-249 employees; medium, 250-999 employees; and large, 1,000 or more employees. This year’s report features 100 companies of various sizes, from 25 employees to more than 4,000.

The ranking and profiles of the winning companies will be unveiled in the November issue of Business Insurance and online at BusinessInsurance.com.
