Work From Home Policy:

We trust our employees and empower them to shape their work themselves to achieve the best possible results for the team. We have had remote home offices for years to retain our best employees but with the new realities of COVID-19 and outgrowing our Colorado Springs office, we encourage each employee to determine what is right for them. Our management continues to motivate our employees to look enhanced efficiency in each role, thereby improving the company's overall performance. We are committed to streamlining our operations, leveraging multiple time zones, and continually utilizing the best technology to deliver quality insurance products to our partner agents. Expanding our work from home options to all our employees is to attract the best talent in a burgeoning insurtech industry. We are future focused and seek to maintain and continue to grow our innovative corporate culture based on outcomes rather than on time spent at the office.
