The Hartford Named One of the ‘Best Places to Work’ in Okla.

The Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. announced that its Oklahoma City Personal Lines Insurance Center (PLIC) was named the fifth best company to work for in the state of Oklahoma by the Best Companies Group from a list of top 25 companies.

This office, a 100,000-square-foot facility in Oklahoma City, serves The Hartford’s customer base throughout the Midwest. It employs nearly 700 service and customer care professionals who handle auto and homeowners insurance sales and claims. The office has received several awards and certifications for its outstanding customer service and continues to grow.

“We’re thrilled to receive this honor,” said Gunnar Hood, general manager of The Hartford’s Oklahoma City PLIC. “It takes great people to deliver top quality service to our customers. Being named one of the ‘Best Places to Work’ in Oklahoma reinforces The Hartford’s commitment to its employees. We take pride in providing them with an environment where they can grow and be challenged, both personally and professionally.”

The Best Companies Group is known for establishing rankings of the nation’s “Best Employers” and “Best Places to Work” in an effort to spotlight companies that demonstrate workplace excellence. The project in Oklahoma was dedicated to finding and recognizing the state’s best employers, and encouraging more companies to measure, motivate and focus on improving their workplace environments.

The selection process for Oklahoma was based on the results of internal employee surveys. Winners were selected in two categories: medium-sized companies of 25 to 199 employees and large-sized companies with more than 200 employees. The Hartford was recognized in this latter category.

The Best Companies Group partners with media and business organizations to publicize its findings. In Oklahoma, the group is working with city and state business publications — OKCBusiness and Central Oklahoma’s Business News — to create a special commemorative magazine featuring the state’s top companies. This publication will be released on May 15, 2006, and will be available both in print and online.
