IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Burnham Benefits Insurance Services — a highly respected and growing industry leader in the California employee benefits brokerage space — is named one of the 2018 Best Places to Work in Orange County, a project of the Orange County Business Journal (OCBJ) and Best Companies Group. An annual collaboration created in 2009, the distinction, which Burnham has received eight years in a row, recognizes the company as providing a work environment where employees can deliver exceptional services to customers, while maintaining a strong work-life balance.

“I feel that the ‘Best Place to Work’ designation has played a critical part in attracting and recruiting employees of all talents and ages. People truly value a consistent culture. It isn’t built overnight — it’s something that you continually work at to attract like-minded, high-achieving individuals who want to work hard and find excitement as they grow within Burnham,” says President and CEO Kristen Allison. “This consistent designation — and this year, jumping from a number eight ranking up to number five — means growth and progress. The ‘Best Place’ designation continues to be invaluable in encouraging and empowering employees to continue to promote positive change, an integral component of our high employee and client retention.”

Burnham Benefits thrives under the ideology of social transparency. The firm sought Benefit Corporation (B Corp) certification to publicly demonstrate its commitment to conscientious and sustainable growth — protecting the environment and improving the quality of life for employees and members of its communities. Burnham Benefits strives to satisfy its employees and encourages them to preserve a solid work-life balance that enables employees to deliver a variety of first-class services to the best of their abilities.

“Burnham’s culture isn’t something that just came to be. It is something we have worked years to carefully cultivate and protect. I am truly humbled,” says Allison.
