Leading rural insurer NFU Mutual has been named as a winner of the Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award for 2023.
The prestigious award recognises organisations that put their employees at the heart of their business strategy and see extraordinary results by fostering a culture of opportunity and engagement.
NFU Mutual builds on an existing reputation as an exceptionally engaged workforce, having received the Exceptional Workplace Award every year since its inauguration. The insurer also received the forerunner to the Exceptional Workplace Award several years in a row.
Trisha Jones, HR Director at NFU Mutual, said:
This is a wonderful accolade and we are delighted Gallup has yet again recognised that NFU Mutual is providing an environment of inclusivity where our people can thrive and achieve their full potential. From supporting our staff’s health and wellbeing, to championing their career progression, we’re passionate about being a great place to work for all our people.
As a mutual insurer, our staff are motivated to deliver excellent outcomes for our members and customers, not shareholders, and we will continue to give them the tools to remain fully engaged and empowered to make a difference both professionally and personally.
Trisha Jones, HR Director at NFU Mutual
