KRAKÓW, POLAND, Feb. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For the second consecutive
year, leading global data analytics and technology provider Verisk (Nasdaq:
VRSK) is Certified(TM) in Poland by Great Place To Work. The prestigious award is
based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at
Verisk.
Verisk's certification is driven by an employee engagement survey which measured
the extent to which employees across the organization reported a consistently
great workplace experience, considering factors such as their daily encounters
with innovation, inclusivity, company values and the effectiveness of its
leaders. The survey found that 91% of Verisk teammates say it is a great place
to work, 99% agree that new employees are made to feel welcome, and 99% agree
that people celebrate special events at the company.
"This achievement reflects our organization's collective dedication to creating
a consistently outstanding workplace experience," said Sunita Holzer, Verisk's
Chief Human Relations Officer. "The feedback we received affirms our commitment
to diversity of thought and inclusion and helps guide how we empower our
colleagues to deliver outsized value and results to our clients."
Verisk's purpose, mission and values were shaped and brought to life by
employees
Verisk's shared purpose, which employee feedback helped shape, guides the
company's commitment to invest and continuously assess how to best foster a work
environment that focuses on the security, satisfaction and well-being of its
colleagues, clients and communities. By prioritizing a positive workplace
experience, Verisk has created a culture that attracts and retains top talent,
driving innovation and excellence across the business.
Verisk produces learning and skill-building programs to help its colleagues grow
their careers and contribute to the future of its business. This year, Verisk
launched an international event series, "CareerCon," to empower team members at
all levels to learn about internal job opportunities and identify ways to take
ownership of their career growth.
Another way employees can grow their skills are "Learnings Breaks," live monthly
webinars and self-guided learning that covers in-demand topics to positively
impact performance, leadership skills and career development. Examples of topics
include "Taking Control of Conflict," "Building a Culture of Inclusion" and
"Taking Initiative on Your Ideas." Verisk also supports its colleagues with
leadership and career development programs, including:

  * Verisk's Leadership Accelerator program helps people leaders apply new
    skills and techniques in real-life scenarios.
  * The Leading with Impact program ensures that first-time managers are set up
    for success with the foundational knowledge and applicable skills to lead
    themselves and others.

* The Accelerate Your Leadership program is designed to elevate the leadership

    skills of individual contributors looking to become leaders and creates a
    space for people managers who want to refresh their essential leadership
    skills.

Verisk's culture of learning, caring and results is sustained and strengthened
by people with diverse experiences, backgrounds and perspectives working
together toward common goals. Each year in Krakow, employees get involved in the
local community during volunteer week. In 2023, team members volunteered at
animal shelters, care facilities and held fundraisers for local families in
need. The company's nine Employee Networks-representing Asian, Black,
Latino/Hispanic, Indigenous and LGBTQ+ communities, along with parents, women,
and veterans and military service members-offer ways to increase equity across
the enterprise, building a sense of community and allyship where every voice is
heard and valued.
The role Verisk occupies in the industry is unique, given its centrality, data
and technology, and the expertise its teammates bring to bear for its clients.
Verisk's work is central to the insurance industry which is integral and serves
as a cornerstone of economies and society.
"Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires
consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience," says
Sarah Lewis-Kulin, the Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To
Work. "By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Verisk
stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace
environment for its employees."
