Sentry named one of America’s best employers

STEVENS POINT, Wis., April 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Sentry Insurance has been recognized by Forbes as one of America's Best Midsize Employers for the third consecutive year.

In collaboration with analytics firm Statista, Forbes selected America's Best Employers based on an independent survey of a sample of 50,000 people in more than 25 industries who work at companies with at least 1,000 U.S.-based employees. Participants were asked to rate how likely they'd be to recommend their employer to others. They also were asked to recommend companies outside their industry.

As one of just 500 companies that made the list, Sentry joins an elite group to be recognized by Forbes. Pete McPartland, Sentry chairman of the board, president, and CEO, said the honor is a true testament to Sentry employees, and reflects the central Wisconsin company's ongoing commitment to ensuring it remains a great place to work.

"Generations of highly educated and highly trained people built Sentry into what it is today—a people business," McPartland said. "One that does right by our customers, each other, and our communities."

"We are proud of the family-friendly, community-oriented culture that is so deeply rooted in Sentry's DNA," added Jayne Petruska, Sentry's chief human resources officer. "Every day, we look to build on that by investing in our associates in ways that will help them thrive and grow in their careers, while making an impact in the communities we serve throughout the country."
