Christensen Group Insurance (CG) is 100% employee-owned and connected in our mission to grow together as a team. We believe we can achieve this growth without sacrificing our culture, entrepreneurial mindset or financial excellence. Our team is at the heart of each decision and we are open to listening to different opinions and using employees’ input to guide our decisions. We host quarterly All-Team Meetings with open Q&A sessions to specifically gather input and answer anything on our team’s mind. Our Leadership Council meets monthly to discuss business decisions and understand how those directly impact our team and culture. At CG, we pursue success by growing in a way that honors where we’ve been, where we want to go, and aligns with our team values. We also believe in having fun! We gather formally with employees and spouses twice a year at the Fall Party and Annual ESOP Meeting. Potlucks, trivia games, baby showers, catered lunches are common occurrences. We created a virtual photo wall to make it easy to share family photos or personal events while we’ve been working virtually. We host Benefit Fairs to educate on our benefit offerings and send Monday emails to connect individuals to resources to support overall Well-Being. We have four committees led by the employees. The first, Culture & Wellness Committee, serves our team with providing wellness and social activities. In the last year, they have planned Biggest Loser challenges, virtual fitness challenges, hydration challenges, healthy snacks and fruit deliveries, chair massages, virtual trivia, and a smoothie bar! The second, Charity & Community Involvement, leads our Charity Match program, offers volunteering opportunities and highlights volunteerism. The third, Green Committee, finds ways to support our environment and provides practical tips to be eco-friendly. The fourth, Welcome Committee, meets all new hires and sends them a welcome basket of goodies for their first day. We have a fitness center, discounted personal training sessions on-site, racquetball court, Peloton free for all employees/family and are supportive of employees exercising during the day. We have a golf simulator and event center to host clients or personal family/friends.
