Columbia Insurance earned recognition as a 2024 Employee Experience Top Performer from DecisionWise, a global leader in employee engagement and feedback solutions. 

Columbia is one of seven in an elite list of medium-sized companies to receive this award. The annual honor goes to organizations with survey results ranking in the top 10% of DecisionWise’s global database. Based entirely on employee feedback, it reflects Columbia’s commitment to fostering a workplace culture where employees feel valued, supported and empowered to grow. 

“This recognition is especially meaningful because it comes directly from our employees,” said Todd Ruthruff, Columbia’s president and chief executive officer. “We believe that when people thrive, business thrives. This award affirms the strength of our culture and the dedication of our team.”

Since 1996 DecisionWise has surveyed employees worldwide measuring key drivers of engagement, retention and enthusiasm. Columbia’s inclusion among the top performers highlights its success in creating an environment where employees are not only engaged but inspired.

The tradition of investing in employee experience and remaining dedicated to providing peace of mind is key. 

“We’re not just building a business—we’re building a place where people want to be.
