Grinnell Mutual named Top Workplace for the 11th consecutive year

Grinnell Mutual was named second-best large Iowa employer in 2021 Des Moines Register/Engergage Top Workplaces survey.

It’s the 11th straight year the company has earned a spot on the list and is one of only four companies in the state that has made the list every year since the honor’s creation.

Grinnell Mutual also won the “Managers” specialty category because employees felt the company’s managers are empathetic and compassionate.

The Register and WorkplaceDynamics evaluated survey responses from 36,000 employees of participating employers. Top Workplaces are categorized by number of employees in Iowa and chosen based on employee feedback.

“We are honored to be recognized as one of Iowa’s Top Workplaces for the 11th consecutive year,” said Jeff Menary, Grinnell Mutual president and CEO. “Dealing with last year’s COVID-19 issues — and the devastating Midwest derecho on top of that — reinforces the fact that our employees are the reason for our success.

“We know our long-term success depends on their great work, which is why their happiness and job satisfaction is a top priority at Grinnell Mutual. Our employees care about their company, our customers, and their co-workers. If you truly care about and trust your employees, they’ll make great business decisions and provide best-in-class service to your customers.”
