Company Culture is Everything

Company culture is defined as “behavior of humans within an organization and the meaning that people attach to those behaviors.” Culture is not something that happens overnight but is carved over time after conscious and strategic planning. It’s the little things; how you treat a co-worker, involvement in the community, aligning your company with partners and vendors that share similar values…etc.

We recently had a unique opportunity to have a young professional work with PGI in an internship role for the summer. We wanted to share the letter he wrote to our team when he left to go back to school.

Dear PrimeGroup Tampa Family,

As I started my last day, I have been overwhelmed with vast amounts of love and support that everyone has given me. I wanted to send a massive thank you to everyone in the office for making my first job such an amazing experience!

I come in every day eager to tackle new tasks and looking forward to continuing to build relationships with everyone in the office. Unlike most high schoolers that hate their job, I absolutely love mine and am dreading 3:30 pm this afternoon. A major reason this job has been so enjoyable is all the love and support everyone has given me in this first month. I want to thank everyone with the warmest regards for making me feel so welcome and fit right in.

The insurance world may have been a minor feature in my past life, but it holds a special place in my heart now, and I thank everyone for showing me that there is much more to insurance than numbers, phone calls, and angry customers.

I will be gone for a short few months and I look forward to reuniting with my treasured PrimeGroup Family this coming November!

Thanks, everyone for immense compassion and endless support!
