Ormond Beach, Fla. (July 23, 2015) – Innovation. Fun. Compassion. While those words aren’t traditionally associated with home insurance, they are at the core of Security First Insurance Company’s vision, and a fundamental reason why it was selected as the 7th Best Midsize Company to Work for in Florida for 2015.
This is the first time Florida’s 3rd largest homeowners insurance company, Security First Insurance, participated in Florida Trend’s award competition. The company ranked highest among other Florida home insurance providers. Each year, Florida Trend honors 100 various companies throughout Florida that exhibit workplace excellence. Security First Insurance was selected based on a two-part assessment process. The first was comprised of an assessment of the company's benefit programs, policies, practices and other general information. The second included an in-depth analysis of leadership and planning, corporate culture and communications, work environment, and employee satisfaction. Best Companies Group determined the list rankings based on the combined assessment scores.
