Federated Insurance® Earns Recognition for Workplace Excellence from Forbes and Newsweek

Federated Insurance has been recognized for its exceptional workplace environment, earning placements on both Forbes’ America’s Best-in-State Employers 2025 and Newsweek’s Most Admired Workplaces 2026 lists. These awards highlight the company's commitment to creating a supportive and rewarding culture for its employees.

“This recognition reflects our long-held commitment to recruiting, training, retaining, and developing exceptional people,” said Federated Insurance Chairman, President and CEO Nicholas Lower. “Our mutual structure and steady profitable growth achieved over the past decade allow us to continuously invest in employee compensation and benefits, technology, and facilities. These investments are not just about supporting our team — they are how we ensure we deliver exceptional service to our more than 47,000 valued clients across the United States. We proudly accept the Forbes and Newsweek accolades as evidence of the outstanding culture and people found at Federated Insurance.”

The Forbes Best-in-State Employers list was developed with market research firm Statista. The selection process involved surveying over 160,000 U.S.-based employees at companies with at least 500 team members. Respondents evaluated their employers on factors such as work culture, wage parity, and professional development opportunities, in addition to their likelihood to recommend their workplace to others.

Newsweek’s Most Admired Workplaces list, created in collaboration with Plant-A Insights Group, recognized the top 750 U.S. employers excelling in talent attraction and retention. Companies were evaluated based on employee surveys, workplace culture, and public reputation, incorporating over 25 million data points and more than 120 performance indicators like leadership, compensation, and work-life balance.
