As a Leader, Kim radiates with positivity and genuinely cares about her team. She initiates training for us when she recognizes that we need additional direction. Kim provides clear resources and solutions. In my 21 years as an insurance agent, I have never had such a knowledgeable and resourceful manager. She is the epitome of leadership.

Kim goes above and beyond in ensuring we are doing out best work through training and one on one guidance. Kim reminds us to take time for self care and learning. She is truly a pleasure to work with. Kim needs a well deserved pampering for all she does for each of her team members. We all feel very fortunate to have her as out fearless leader.

Ashley Volk - Recognition - Aug 26, 25
Jessica Yang

When I think of a person who has made a huge impact on me since coming to CG in May, I automatically think of Ashley. I am excited to work someone who thirsts for efficiency and is continuously learning. Ashley is humble, kind and patient. Teaching adults is her calling. Ashley is quick to offer training and is thorough in her monthly team trainings. She make herself available to assist the team when we are backlogged and need assistance in processing. She is positive and upbeat. Her hilarious personality is the cherry on top. She is never satisfied with mediocre. There are many nights and weekends I see her green bubble still pounding away. As someone who has had 6 years of Applied EPIC experience, Ashley can still show me new things. I love that she is accessible and responsive despite having a heavy workload. I aspire to be as positive as she is with the "CAN DO" attitude.

Aaron Decock - Recognition - Aug 25, 25

Aaron is a fantastic resource for our 401k clients. He explains information in a simple, easy to understand manner. Having seen him at employee meetings, he does a good job connecting with the audience and answering their questions.

Check out this recognition from one of his clients:

Good Morning Aaron, I hope you had a great weekend! Thank you for leading the 2025 401K education session for PSC employees. I can’t believe this is already the fourth year we’ve had the pleasure of having you as our trainer! Once again, we truly appreciate the clear and helpful way you present the information. It was wonderful to see that, after the training, we were able to enroll even more employees in the 401K. Your sessions make a real difference in helping our team better understand their retirement options, and we value the time and effort you dedicate to these trainings each year. We are grateful for your continued support and look forward to working with you again. Thanks again for your partnership, and have a great day, Aaron!

Shelby has been so welcoming to me since starting in April that she makes it easy to come to her with questions. Whether I have a question on an account of mine, or for someone I am being a back up on, she not only is quick to answer, but she goes out of her way to reach out to me on her own time to see if I need anything. She takes the time to call me if she feels that it would be easier to help me, and she is very knowledgeable. She never makes me feel like a burden for reaching out, and makes work so much fun. Thank you Shelby and keep up the great work!

A big thank you to Ashley for not only training Grace with—well—grace on all things Epic, but also for going above and beyond her role. She took the time to send me thoughtful feedback on Grace’s progress, what to expect moving forward, and how she plans to support not just Grace, but the entire Risk Placement team in leveling up our Epic platform knowledge.

Training may be part of Ashley’s job, but it’s clear she brings true passion to the work. Her dedication to helping others succeed, even on a busy day, doesn’t go unnoticed. We’re lucky to have her!

Max Wilber - Recognition - Jul 25, 25

In most sales environments, it’s rare for a peer to introduce you to an active prospect they’re working with, but Max didn’t hesitate. After I mentioned I’m targeting a specific niche, he immediately saw the connection and made the introduction, knowing his prospect had deep expertise in that space. That conversation not only provided valuable insights, but also led to introductions to two of the top three players in the field. None of that would have happened without Max’s support.

I want to take a moment to recognize and thank Jennifer for her outstanding support during the IT setup of our new office in San Antonio. Despite our challenges of managing this project entirely remotely, Jennifer’s willingness to step up and her positive attitude played a crucial role in making the implementation a success.

Supporting our vendors and our team was instrumental. Jennifer’s dependable presence and collaborative spirit truly made a difference, and I’m grateful for her contributions to the team.

Thank you, Jennifer!

Ashton has been amazing to work with. While my manager has been out on a much needed vacation, Ashton has been taking all of my questions like a champ. She is always so happy to help and so knowledgeable. She is more than willing to call me when something is not making sense and share her screen so I know exactly what I am doing and not just guessing at it. Such a valuable asset and I am excited to be working side by side with her in the future. Knowing how kind, caring, and helpful she is puts me at ease...especially while being so new and still learning new things every day. Thanks Ashton!

Funds donated by the Eden Prairie Office - In 1993, the executive director of Hospitality House Youth Development (HHYD) created Christmas With Dignity. This unique shopping experience is for parent/guardian who is economically disadvantaged who find themselves unable to afford to buy Christmas presents for their children. The parent or guardian will have the pleasure of shopping and giving their children new gifts at prices they can afford. This allows the children to see their parent/guardian as a provider, and at the same time, the family is strengthened.

Laura has been absolutely amazing at getting all the new CG Store orders fulfilled so quickly and efficiently. She’s done an incredible job managing the large volume of pre-sale and extra items—taking photos, updating inventory, and expertly handling every question that comes her way.

Her organizational skills are unmatched, and thanks to her expert folding and labeling, the store always looks pristine. It’s such a joy to have a store we’re proud of, and that’s all because of Laura’s dedication, attention to detail, and hard work.

Thank you, Laura! You truly are a rockstar, and we couldn’t do it without you!

Her organizational skills are unmatched, and thanks to her expert folding and labeling, the store always looks pristine. It’s such a joy to have a store we’re proud of, and that’s all because of Laura’s dedication, attention to detail, and hard work.

Thank you, Laura! You truly are a rockstar, and we couldn’t do it without you!

Becca has been absolutely amazing on the slide deck project. She’s incredibly helpful, collaborative, and always striving to make the final product the best it can be. She proactively checks in and makes thoughtful updates—even for small improvements—which shows her attention to detail and dedication.

She’s consistently refining the work, and her commitment to excellence truly stands out. On top of that, she’s jumped in to help with some Airtable updates and automations on a few other marketing projects that would have taken me much longer to get to—helping move everything forward smoothly.

We’re so lucky to have someone like Becca on our team!

Thank you Stacy for being a great mentor! As we are working through an SBA client-facing project, Stacy has been a great guide for assessing who on the SBA team is impacted and how we want to address any cleanup. In addition, she took the extra time with me to build out a complete agenda. I really appreciate her extra efforts!

I wanted to take a moment to thank Sarina for all the hard work that she has put in for an SBA project we're working through! Whether it is making time with me to troubleshoot on a teams call, crafting detailed emails with action items, or working behind the scenes with Richard (thank you Richard!), she truly goes above and beyond and is a great communicator. Thank you Sarina for all that you do!

Abbey deserves a HUGE shoutout as I am constantly reaching out to her. Whether it's her getting me logins (seems like multiple lately!), helping reset my password when I didn't realize I had a login already (ooops!), or just answering basic questions, she is always ready to help me out. Abbey is always so kind and prompt when I reach out, and she really does make our jobs easier. Thank you Abbey for everything you do!

August Leadership Update

ASSUREX OPERATIONS & COMPLIANCE MEETING RECAPS Meghan Brown shared insights from the recent Assurex Global Operations Meeting. The conversation centered around how other agencies are approaching their Total Rewards philosophy, supporting tenured employees who are transitioning into retirement, and hybrid workplaces. We were glad to hear similar offerings within People & Culture, and were most appreciate to have connected to some really great folks in HR roles at similar size agencies.   Sarah Kaster also shared an update from her Compliance Meeting held in July. She noted the increasing number of in-house compliance roles at other agencies—and we’re not an anomaly by having this as a fractional role. She also shared that Benefit Comply has merged with other companies and is now called Lumelight. This gives us even more opportunities to streamline our compliance support through one centralized vendor. The great news is that Benefit Comply was already a strong partner, and the additional resources available through Lumelight will only enhance our client experience.

BEST PLACE TO WORK Meghan Brown also shared highlights from our Best Places to Work – Business Insurance survey. While we’re still awaiting the formal ranking, we’ve received the internal results to review.   The headline: we maintained a 96% engagement score. That’s not only impressive on its own—the market benchmark is 90%—but it’s especially noteworthy considering we achieved this together during a year of major system change.   We can't thank you enough for your kind words and honest ideas as we read through the survey feedback. We’ll continue to lean into themes by department and work toward keeping your trust and support in the year to come.   Department leaders will soon receive more detailed results for their teams. These will highlight what’s working, what you’d like more of, and where you’d like additional information or support. This will also serve as our launching point for refreshing our own internal Pulse survey. Don’t worry—we’re thinking less frequent (definitely not monthly) and fewer questions. But we do want to stay connected to how things are going in real time, so we don’t need to rely solely on outside surveys once a year.   Spotlight on a 10-Year Vision 1-Year People & Culture Goal: Revamp employee engagement surveys

Giving Back Feels Even Better Together!

Thank you to everyone who helped make our 4th Annual School Stuffing Event a huge success! This year, we expanded to even more office locations, bringing teams together to pack, assemble, and write words of encouragement for nearly 400 students heading back to school.

With the support of our partner Impacks, we delivered** packs** filled with essential supplies to students at:

  • Forest Hills Elementary (Eden Prairie, MN) – 84 kits
  • Eastview Education Center (Monticello, MN) – 52 kits
  • Jefferson Elementary (New Ulm, MN) – 20 kits
  • Westwood Elementary (Saint Cloud/Waite Park, MN) – 52 kits
  • Carlos Elementary (Alexandria, MN) – 20 kits
  • Gene Dillon Elementary (Bemidji, MN) – 20 kits
  • Lincoln Elementary (Hoffman Estates, IL) – 35 kits
  • Santa Fe Trail Elementary (Overland Park, KS) – 52 kits
  • Oak Hill Elementary (Austin, TX) – 40 kits
  • Rahe Bulverde Elementary (New Braunfels, TX) – 35 kits

This event was about more than just backpacks—it was about coming together as a team, giving our time, and making a meaningful difference in the lives of students across our communities.

We’re proud to support our local schools—and we’re wishing every student a successful school year ahead!
