Award recognizes MarketScout as an Outstanding Employer in the insurance industry for the seventh year in a row.

DALLAS, September 26, 2018 – MarketScout, the national electronic insurance exchange and specialty MGA headquartered in Dallas, Texas, today announced it has been named in the annual Best Places to Work in Insurance program. The program recognizes employers for their outstanding performance in establishing workplaces where employees can thrive, enjoy their work and help their companies grow.

MarketScout strongly supports the entrepreneurial spirit. As an independent firm, with no outside investors or debt, MarketScout makes decisions quickly as proven by recent investments in new MGAs, specialty brokerage and InsurTech startups.

“A company is only as good as its employees. We treat our employees like family, we expect a lot and hold them to very high standards; however, when they are in a time of need, we are there to support them. We are proud to achieve this prestigious award,” said Richard Kerr, CEO of MarketScout.

“Being named to Business Insurance’s list of the Best Places to Work in Insurance for 2018 demonstrates that MarketScout has built a culture in which employees are supported and engaged, which benefits their customers and the employers’ financial performance,” says Business Insurance Publisher Peter Oxner.

Best Places to Work in Insurance is an annual sponsored content feature presented by the Custom Publishing unit of Business Insurance and Best Companies Group that lists the agents, brokers, insurance companies and other providers with the highest levels of employee engagement and satisfaction. Harrisburg, Pa.-based Best Companies Group identifies the leading employers in the insurance industry by conducting a free two-part assessment of each company. The first part is a questionnaire completed by the employer about company policies, practices, and demographics. The second part is a confidential employee survey on engagement and satisfaction.

The profiles of the winning companies will be unveiled as a sponsored content supplement in the November issue of Business Insurance and online at BusinessInsurance.com.
