Life at Acuity Insurance
Our people proudly say "I am Acuity" because they believe it.
We are a community
Acuity’s people-centric culture starts with building a sense of community with coworkers. We come together as an organization and in small groups in diverse ways to develop and strengthen connections across the entire organization.
-
Work environment – Whether you prefer to be in the office, working from home, or a mix of both, Acuity embraces flexibility.
-
Company-wide programs – Quarterly town hall meetings, our Lunch with an Officer series, and weekly video messages from leaders keep everyone connected.
-
Clubs & cohorts – Employee-led groups connect people around shared interests and hobbies from motorcycles to knitting. Newly hired employees are invited into the 5-year club and fully remote employees can connect with others as part of Acuity’s Force Field group, just to highlight a few.
-
Coffee Connections – This program encourages employees to meet others at Acuity they may not work with day to day.
-
Wednesday Free-for-All – Employees can meet new colleagues and strengthen connections weekly with corporate headquarters free on-site breakfast, lunch, and evening happy hour.
We are a family
Our family culture extends to your family and loved ones as well. We do this by hosting events throughout the year and extending access to our on-site gym, the Firm.
-
Fitness – Employees may register one extra person, such as a spouse, for free guest access to the fitness center and access free membership to fitness apps.
-
Bring a Child to Work Day – Recruiting starts early at Acuity. We love introducing young people to the variety and exciting career opportunities within insurance. Remote employees are included as well with a goodie bag sent to their children who sign up for the day!
-
Holiday Fest – This annual tradition invites employees and a guest to enjoy an evening of celebration and togetherness. Virtual employees that can not make it to Holiday Fest receive a $200 cash gift to use at their own discretion.
-
Fun Fest – Acuity’s version of a summer picnic, creating lasting memories for families. All employees, no matter work from home or corporate headquarters are invited to attend!
We have fun
We understand that hard work comes first, but evidence of Acuity employees having fun at work is easy to find.
At our headquarters, you will find fantastic and whimsical artwork, Ping-Pong tables, free popcorn, a fitness center, a field house with 3 NBA-size basketball courts, a 65-foot Charity Wheel, and a 40-foot rock-climbing wall.
Fun extends beyond Acuity’s four walls. With a good portion of our team working outside headquarters, employees can be found hosting virtual happy hours, meeting up for Breakfast Clubs, or learning a new skill together online.
We value transparency
Open communication is a central component of our culture and helps maintain high levels of respect and trust company wide.
Our corporate headquarters has a 2,000-seat theatre-in-the-round that was uniquely designed so no one is more than 65 feet from the center circle and employees can tune in virtually. This is where we hold our quarterly town halls to update the company and have some fun with a comedian or live music!
Whether you’re in Oregon, Maine, or anywhere between, programs such as Lunch With an Officer and On the Mic With Melissa keep you up to date with the latest and greatest information directly from our executives.
We give back
Acuity employees share in the giving spirit throughout the year with a school supplies drive and other donations. At the end of the year, employees vote on how to distribute a monetary donation among various charitable organizations. For many employees, this is their favorite time of year. We believe when we care for each other there’s no goal we cannot reach.
Joan Ravanelli Miller, General Counsel and Vice President–Human Resources
"Our culture is not just what we do; it’s who we are. We inspire each other, and that’s what has created the inspired workplace that ranks Acuity as a top company in the nation."
