Kwik Fit Insurance’s investment in its staff has been recognised at one of the biggest awards ceremonies for the insurance industry.
The Uddingston-based insurance intermediary won the ‘Investment in People’ award at the UK Broker Awards. The award recognises the investment made in both people and resources by brokers and intermediaries operating in the general UK insurance market.
It comes in a year when Kwik Fit Insurance was ranked 17th in the ‘Sunday Times 100 best companies to work for’ list and was also honoured with a Healthy Working Lives Gold award by the Scottish Government, confirming it as one of the healthiest and safest places to work.
Brendan Devine, Group Managing Director of Kwik Fit Financial Services said: “The staff we have at Kwik Fit Insurance are what makes this company such a success. Our aim is to make their working lives as rewarding and enjoyable as possible. We are delighted that has been recognised.”
KFI aims to be an employer of choice through its work/life balance approach to its 990 employees. It runs bespoke training courses to allow them to progress in their careers as well as deliver first class customer service.
Staff also benefit from flexible working, on-site subsidised restaurant and nursery provision, plus regular health advice.
KFI’s success is reflected in the 98% of surveyed customers who cited their staff’s knowledge and willingness to help as a major reason for renewing their policy.
