Paychex Now a ‘Top 20’ Insurance Agency in U.S.

ROCHESTER, New York, July 5 -- Paychex, a provider of integrated human capital management solutions for payroll, human resources, retirement and insurance services, issued the following news release:

Paychex Insurance Agency, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Paychex, Inc., ranked number 20 on Business Insurance magazine's 2018 list of the Top 100 Brokers of U.S. Business, up one spot from its number 21 ranking in 2017. In the agency's eighth appearance on the list, it once again ranks as one of the fastest-growing firms in the nation. Business Insurance, the leading trade magazine for the commercial insurance industry, annually ranks agents and brokers based on revenues generated by U.S.-based clients.

"We are honored to again be recognized among the most respected insurance firms in the U.S., and we are particularly proud to earn the distinction of being a 'top 20' agency," said Sally Prather, Paychex vice president of insurance services. "This achievement is a reflection of our best-in-class agents who continue to deliver customized solutions to meet the evolving needs of business owners and their employees. It's also a testament to our unique business model and ability to deliver value to our clients through an integration of insurance and payroll data that is unrivaled in the marketplace."

With both property and casualty and group health insurance offerings central to the firm's success, Paychex Insurance Agency experienced year-over-year revenue growth of more than nine percent, according to the 2018 Business Insurance listing. The agency remains committed to helping America's small and mid-size business owners offer affordable health insurance coverage to their employees, which may prove critical as businesses increase their focus on talent management initiatives in 2018.

"In today's tightening labor market, businesses are in serious competition for top talent," added Prather. "Employee benefits could be a differentiating factor, perhaps the difference between hiring or losing out on a great job candidate. Value-rich insurance coverage also has the potential to boost employee engagement and retention. We are driven to help businesses offer coverage that positions them to win the war on talent and keep their best people."
