Acuity announced today that strong, sustained business growth has created employment opportunities for 100 new staff members at its corporate headquarters in Sheboygan and throughout its 20-state operations.
The company’s anticipated staff growth is in addition to 50 new employees that were hired earlier this year.
In 2012, Acuity’s business is increasing at a rate of 16 percent, with the insurer seeing company-record levels of activity in both personal and commercial lines of insurance.
Acuity projects writing more than $200 million in new business premium this year for the first time in its 87-year history and reaching the $1 billion written premium mark in early 2013.
“We are increasing our staff not only to respond to our strong growth, but as an investment in our future,” said Ben Salzmann, Acuity president and chief executive officer. “We need to be certain to have the people and resources in place to maintain our level of world-class service to a growing number of families, individuals, and businesses.”
The company will be hiring processors and underwriters, programmers and technical support staff, regulatory affairs analysts, marketing analysts, business analysts, claims professionals, territory directors, loss control representatives, premium auditors and more.
“Our growth continues to provide opportunities for people of great diversity,” said Lynn Coady, Acuity’s vice president of human resources. “From new recruits and college graduates to insurance professionals with years of experience, Acuity offers rewarding career opportunities, interesting and meaningful responsibilities, and employment benefits that are second to none.”
