Best Practices Agency: Peabody Insurance Agency retains its Best Practices status, once again becoming a part of an elite group of independent insurance agencies around the United States. “This designation means that our insurance agency has practices in place to work better, faster, and more efficiently for our clients with fewer problems and mistakes. It is a framework for success and the minimization of failure for our entire agency,” says Grace Peabody, Peabody Insurance Agency president.
The agencies comprising the study groups are selected through a comprehensive nomination and qualifying process and awarded a “Best Practices Agency” designation. The agency was nominated by either an IIABA affiliated state association or an insurance company and qualified based on its operational excellence. The selected Best Practices agencies retain their status during the three-year cycle by submitting extensive financial and operational data for review each year. This is the third year of the current three-year Study cycle (2019-2021), where over 1,000 independent agencies throughout the U.S. were nominated to take part in the annual Study in 2019, but only 262 agencies qualified for the honor. To be chosen, the agency had to be among the 35-45 top-performing agencies in one of six revenue categories.
Coolest Place to Work: In 2021, Peabody Insurance was also listed as one of Michigan’s Coolest Places to work for the second year in a row! These rankings are determined 75% by an 80-question employee survey. The survey seeks to determine, among other things, whether employees understand the strategy of the company and if they feel they are being groomed for new positions. The additional 25% is determined by employer provided information on benefits and policies. Peabody Insurance Agency was the only company in Genesee County to be selected in the top 100 rankings.
Sapphire Agency: Auto-Owners Insurance Company has named Peabody Insurance Agency into their elite group of Sapphire agencies. This award celebrates the top three agencies for property & casualty new business growth during the year. This recognizes our team’s hard work, dedication, and partnership to make this happen.
President’s Club: Peabody Insurance is proud to be recognized as one of Accident Fund Insurance Company of America President’s Club Award Honorees, representing an exceptional group of high-performing agent partners across the nation.
