EPIC is one of only 65 companies nationally awarded this honor. Based on employee feedback, the company took second place honors in the medium retail broker/agent category.

“At EPIC, we believe that an excellent work environment is built on innovation, personal accountability and a healthy work/life balance,” said Mary Smith, director of human resources. “These beliefs and practices are key in attracting the industry’s best professionals and providing the foundation for our consistent growth. We are honored to receive this recognition from our team members and Business Insurance for a fourth year in 2013.”

Companies were judged on employee engagement and satisfaction, benefit programs, policies, practices and other general information.

Recognizing the value of a “people-first” culture, EPIC has developed a benefits package and work environment that attracts and retains top talent. The company offers its employees a generous paid-time-off package, a 401(k) match, a wellness program, and an annual employee appreciation day. Additionally, EPIC encourages its employees to participate in charitable events such as Susan G.
