For the sixth consecutive year, leading global data analytics provider Verisk is Certified in the United States by Great Place to Work. Based on employee feedback, the certification honors Verisk for its outstanding workplace culture.
Verisk’s certification is driven by an employee engagement survey which measured the extent to which employees across the organization reported a consistently great workplace experience, considering factors such as their daily encounters of innovation, inclusivity, company values and the effectiveness of its leaders. The survey found that 83% of Verisk teammates say it is a great place to work, compared to 59% of employees at the average U.S.-based company, and 92% agree that new employees are made to feel welcome.
“I’d like to thank each one of our more than 9,000 colleagues for earning this honor once again. The actions we each take daily, on behalf of our customers and colleagues, is a cornerstone of our culture,” said Sunita Holzer, Verisk’s Chief Human Relations Officer. “One way we learn from our colleagues is through engagement surveys, which are the centerpiece of a continuous loop of engagement, feedback, action and change. The responses inform everything from professional development opportunities to wellness programs to empower team members to reach their full potential.”
