Watkins Insurance Group, one of the largest full-service, locally owned independent insurance agencies in central Texas, has been awarded a 2017 Top Workplaces honor by The Austin American-Statesman.
The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by EnergagLLC (formerly WorkplaceDynamics), a research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including Alignment, Execution, and Connection, just to name a few.
“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits,” Doug Claffey, CEO of Energage said in the company’s release. “But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day—the employees. Time and time again, our research has proven that what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together.”
Founded in Austin in 1949, Watkins Insurance Group is recognized as an IIABA Best Practices Agency and has six locations throughout Texas including offices in Longview, Marble Falls, Mineola, Tyler, and Waco. The agency provides tailored insurance, employee benefit, and bond solutions for business and personal risks of all sizes.
