Nashville, TN, Sept. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Velocity Risk today announced it has been named in the annual Best Places to Work in Insurance program, which recognizes employers for their outstanding performance in establishing workplaces where employees can thrive, enjoy their work and help their companies grow.

Velocity Risk provides best-in-class specialty property insurance for catastrophe-prone areas. They have an appetite for uncommon risk, solutions-focused underwriting, outstanding claims management and a belief in the value of relationships, speed and transparency and being in it for the long haul.

“We are thrilled to be recognized as a great place to work,” stated Carey Elzey, Head of Human Resources. “Velocity Risk was built by a team of people who wanted to do things differently, who ask ‘why?’ and ‘why not?’, push the edge and embrace change. It is that uncommon approach that fuels our culture, where our employees thrive. Ultimately, we want to create an environment where our employees are given uncommon opportunities to experience an uncommon career.”

Best Places to Work in Insurance is an annual sponsored content feature presented by the Custom Publishing unit of Business Insurance and Best Companies Group that lists the agents, brokers, insurance companies and other providers with the highest levels of employee engagement and satisfaction. Harrisburg, Pa.-based Best Companies Group identifies the leading employers in the insurance industry by conducting a free two-part assessment of each company.

The program divides employers into the categories of small, 25-249 employees; medium, 250-999 employees; and large, 1,000 or more employees. This year’s report features 100 companies of various sizes, from 25 employees to more than 4,000.
