Connected expertise sets it apart.

• Position: Senn Dunn Insurance - Company overview

Since 1927 two powerful words continue to set Senn Dunn apart--connected expertise. This has made it the largest privately owned independent insurance agency in the Carolinas specializing in business insurance, employee benefits and personal insurance.

Every associate and client is unique. Through connected expertise, Senn Dunn is able to provide the highest level of specialized insurance professionals who successfully create connections between clients, insurance carriers and industry resources. With five offices in North Carolina, 22 owners and 163 employees, the company is proud to attract and retain high-performing people through a combination of connections to values, associates and communities.

Living by its core values is just one of the reasons why Senn Dunn was named one of the Best Employers in North Carolina. "We value collaboration, self-awareness, leading by example, reaching out to others and bringing energy and enthusiasm to our roles," says Wanda Ladd, Senn Dunn human-resources director. "You could say we honor our core values daily, especially in how we reach out to others. Our agency is about people--our clients, our associates and our communities. Everyone here has a passion for giving, and I think this is what sets Senn Dunn apart."

Connecting with associates is a priority. With a strong benefits package and agency-sponsored family events, associates are encouraged to create a work-life balance that is right for their individual needs. The benefits package--including a matching 401(k) program, paid parental leave, salary continuation, employee profit sharing bonus, flexible schedules and continuing education support--is one of the many-things associates love about Senn Dunn.
