Leavitt Group Named Top Large Employer in 2026 Best Places to Work in Insurance

Leavitt Group has been named the top large employer in the 2026 Best Places to Work in Insurance program presented by Business Insurance and Best Companies Group. The recognition marks Leavitt Group's third consecutive year on the list and its first No. 1 ranking among participating companies with 1,000 or more U.S. employees.

"Being named the Best Place to Work in Insurance is an honor that means a great deal to us," said Eric Leavitt, chairman and CEO at Leavitt Group. "We want our company to be a place where people find purpose in their work and have the opportunity to build good lives for themselves and their families. I am grateful for every one of our employees who has helped make Leavitt Group that kind of place."

Best Companies Group evaluates participating employers through a two-part assessment. Employers complete a questionnaire about company policies, practices, and demographics, and employees participate in a survey measuring engagement and satisfaction.

The assessment measures employee satisfaction across eight areas, including leadership and planning, corporate culture and communication, role satisfaction, work environment, supervisor relationships, training and development, pay and benefits, and overall engagement.

Because employee feedback is part of the assessment, the ranking reflects employees' own experience within participating organizations.

"When someone is considering where to build their career, they want to know they're joining an organization where they can grow and feel like they belong," said Brooke MacNaughtan, chief people and community officer at Leavitt Group. "This recognition gives a sense of what it's like to work here. We're proud to offer opportunities for employees to develop their talents and build rewarding careers."

The 2026 list includes insurance agents, brokers, insurers, and other industry providers, ranging from organizations with 25 employees to those with more than 10,000.
