Many things make IMA a Best Place to Work. IMA's associates and its clients benefit daily from its award-winning culture. The greatest differentiator between IMA and its competitors is that IMA associates have the option to think and benefit as employee owners. Associates are given the ability to always act within the best interest of their clients, not Wall Street earnings reports. The result is an industry-leading growth rate that more than doubles the industry average. IMA is also Best Place to Work because the company and its leaders care for and trust associates. When the pandemic hit, IMA did not lay off any associates and provided profit sharing to make up for a paused 401k match. IMA’s CEO and other senior leaders recorded weekly videos to provide encouragement and company updates throughout 2020. As the world reels from COVID-19, natural disasters and more, IMA has created an Employee Assistance Fund to quickly and equitably provide financial support to associates in need. A third key reason IMA is a great place to work is because of its commitment to community. IMA’s mission is to "protect assets and make a difference,” not just for associates, but for our clients and the communities we serve. IMA has a dedicated foundation primarily funded by IMA, offers unlimited paid volunteer time off during work hours, has an annual corporate day of service, as well as committees in each office dedicated to organizing volunteer opportunities. The company has recently increased its matching gifts program, matching one dollar for every dollar donated per associate, up to $1,000, and provides a $500 grant to nonprofits for every 20 hours associates volunteer at that nonprofit. The dedication to the communities where IMA associates live, work and play is truly extraordinary and exemplifies a company with a purpose, making it a Best Place to Work.
