Listed between technology companies Google and Cisco Systems, Peoria, Ill.-based RLI Corp. is among 100 large U.S. companies being recognized by Glassdoor as one of the best places to work in 2024.

RLI announced that it was honored with a Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award, ranking 27th on the list.

This year, RLI is the only insurance company to be recognized. (Editor’s Note: Carrier Management did not see any property/casualty insurance company listed on a separate list of small and medium sized companies that Glassdoor published either.)

“For nearly 60 years, RLI has cultivated a unique ownership culture, driven by collaboration and an entrepreneurial spirit,” said RLI Corp. President and Chief Executive Officer Craig Kliethermes, reacting to the news. “We aim to empower our associates to think differently, be innovative and deliver exceptional products and service to our customers. This award recognizes our associate-owners, who are integral to RLI’s continued growth and success.”

Profiled several times over the years in the pages of Carrier Management, leaders of RLI Corp. have credited a track record of profitability and repeated recognition as an employer of choice to the company’s ownership culture, supported by an employee stock ownership program and incentive bonus plans tied to performance.

The Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award is based on the input of employees who voluntarily provide anonymous feedback on Glassdoor by completing a company review about their job, work environment and employer on Glassdoor.

Topping the list of large employers on Glassdoor’s list are management consultancy Bain & Company (ranked No. 1) and artificial intelligence leader NVIDIA (No. 2).
