Sedgwick, the leading global provider of technology-enabled claims and productivity management solutions, has been recertified as an Employer of Choice, a designation granted to a select few employers that achieve organizational objectives through excellence in leadership, culture and practices that attract, optimize and retain top talent.

Sedgwick earned the credential based on the results of a survey of its entire colleague base and an independent assessment of the company's culture, leadership, care of people, and compensation and benefits practices by the Employer of Choice advisory board.

"Receiving this distinction once again demonstrates the Employer of Choice organization's high regard for our continued efforts to make Sedgwick a great place to work," said Terri Browne, Sedgwick's chief people officer. "Our recertification as an Employer of Choice reflects our collective commitment to responding to colleague feedback, implementing best practices on an organizational level, and making meaningful improvements in our local offices, business units and corporate departments.

"We have always known what a unique organization Sedgwick is, but it is very gratifying to receive such prestigious external recognition for our care of people," Browne said.

"It is most impressive that even with its significant growth, Sedgwick has once more qualified for this coveted designation," said Joyce Gioia, CEO of Employer of Choice International, Inc.

Sedgwick is the only risk and insurance services organization to be designated an Employer of Choice.
