For the second year, employees pushed the independent brokerage into the top employer’s circle, confirming that its values-driven culture sets the stage for them to excel. 

“If we hire and develop remarkable people that share our vision, they will accomplish remarkable things,” explains partner and vice president of people, Nicole Hewson. “We really do nurture our team members.” 

Survey participants stated:

  • “The culture is amazing; the entire organization works well together and helps one another out.”
  • “CMB looks at every way to bring a better work experience for their employees.”  
  • “They allow employees to feel safe and heard.”

CMB has experienced tremendous growth and continues to lead as the best insurance company to work for by emphasizing:

  • an annual compensation review
  • career pathing and internal promotion
  • generous vacation, plus 10 flex days  
  • a share purchase program

Work-life balance is prioritized along with social engagement and team-building activities, such as a ‘Fabulous Friday’ baked potato bar or reindeer games at holiday time. The company maintains its strong culture by celebrating its diverse staff. 

“It’s beautiful to see the synergy and teamwork that occurs when you when everyone shares the same goals,” Hewson adds. “We’re always growing and looking to be better than we were yesterday.”
