The Institutes' Continued Investment in Employees
Earns Fourth Consecutive Top Workplaces USA Award

MALVERN, Pa.--When employees at The Institutes are asked about their workplace experience, their responses tell a compelling and consistent story: this is a place where people want to be. That feedback earned the organization the prestigious 2026 USA TODAY Top Workplaces award. Out of the more than 40,500 organizations invited to participate in Energage's employee engagement survey, The Institutes stood out for creating a culture where team members feel heard and supported.

Earning this award for the fourth consecutive year reflects The Institutes’ ongoing dedication to creating a workplace based on collaboration, professional growth, and shared success for employees across all departments, business units, and roles. The Institutes deliberately cultivate this environment through five core values: Do the Right Thing, Put the Customer First, Do What You Say, Work Together, and Be Innovative. These principles shape how the organization evolves alongside its workforce and invests in opportunities that support every team member.

“Being recognized with the USA TODAY Top Workplaces award is a distinct honor, as it reflects how our employees genuinely feel about being at The Institutes,” said Peter L. Miller, CPCU, President and CEO of The Institutes. “I’m sincerely grateful for the talented team members across our organization who build our culture every day through how they support one another, share ideas, and serve the risk management and insurance community with excellence. Culture is not separate from our work; it’s the foundation that has allowed The Institutes to remain a trusted education partner since 1909.”

Award winners are determined by authentic employee feedback captured through a confidential survey conducted by Energage, the HR research and technology company behind the Top Workplaces program. The results are calculated based on employee responses to statements about Workplace Experience Themes, which are proven indicators of high performance.

“Earning a USA TODAY Top Workplaces award is a testament to an organization’s credibility and commitment to a people-first culture," said Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage. "This award, driven by real employee feedback, is more than just a recognition—it’s proof that your employees believe in the organization and its leadership. Job seekers and customers look for this trusted badge of credibility and excellence. It signals a company that values its people, and that kind of culture resonates in today’s competitive market.”

As AI, machine learning, and other technological advances reshape how work gets done, today’s talent is looking for a workplace that will help them build relevant skills, offer pathways for career advancement, and create an environment where they can thrive long-term. The Institutes have made these priorities central to their culture, which directly strengthens their ability to cultivate a knowledgeable team that helps individuals and organizations succeed by educating, elevating, and connecting those interested in risk management and insurance to create a more informed, resilient world.
